Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] git-compat-util.h: clarify GCC v.s. C99-specific in comment
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2022 17:05:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-v4-1.2-1a15fe4fd74-20220221T160440Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-v4-0.2-00000000000-20220221T160440Z-avarab@gmail.com>
Change a comment added in e208f9cc757 (make error()'s constant return
value more visible, 2012-12-15). It's not correct that this is GCC-ism
anymore, it's code that uses standard C99 features.
The comment being changed here pre-dates the HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS
define, which we got in e05bed960d3 (trace: add 'file:line' to all
trace output, 2014-07-12).
The original implementation of an error() macro) in e208f9cc757 used a
GCC-ism with the paste operator (see the commit message for mention of
it), but that was dropped later by 9798f7e5f9 (Use __VA_ARGS__ for all
of error's arguments, 2013-02-08), giving us the C99-portable version
we have now.
While we could remove the __GNUC__ define here, it might cause issues
for other compilers or static analysis systems, so let's not. See
87fe5df365 (inline constant return from error() function, 2014-05-06)
for one such issue.
See also e05bed960d3 (trace: add 'file:line' to all trace output,
2014-07-12) for another comment about GNUC's handling of __VA_ARGS__.
