Subject: MISRA: Compatible declarations for sort and bsearch
Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2023 10:40:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f60a702c838c3274cf9e1193964222f4@bugseng.com> (raw)

Hi all,

in xen/lib.h and xen/sort.h there are definitions of the functions 
bsearch and sort that have no prior declarations, and therefore are 
subject to a violation of MISRA C Rule 8.4.

I'm wondering whether it would be preferred

1. to put a declaration just before the definition, in lib.h and sort.h
2. deviate these functions, as their signatures are well-known and 
somewhat standardized

other resolution strategies are possible, but I think these are the main 
ones.
