udev compile problem: dlist

udev compile problem: dlist

[Thomas Strösslin]

Hi,

I failed to compile udev-050.
in dlist.c, the function dlist_sort_custom() contains:
   dlist_start(list);
   struct dlist *listsource, *listdest, *swap;
   etc.

This does not compile on my system (SuSE 7.3, gcc 2.95.3)

It does compile if you move dlist_start(list) below all declarations. I 
actually don't understand how it could compile on any system...

cheers,
tom

Do you mind if I ask why you're using a nearly 3 year old system which is not 
supported by Suse anymore? This system is built to run a 2.4 Kernel so that 
may be a problem too.

AFAIK, C99 allows this. The support for C99 is very limited in 2.95 series gcc 
compilers.

Cheers, Tobias
