On MinGW, sparse issues an "'get_st_mode_bits' not declared. Should it be static?" warning. The MinGW and MSVC builds do not see the declaration of this function, within git-compat-util.h, due to its placement within an preprocessor conditional. In order to suppress the warning, we simply move the declaration to the top level of the header. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Junio, This used to be [PATCH 2/6] path: Make the 'get_st_mode_bits' symbol a file static but the change in implementation required a change in title. This version simply moves the declaration so that the MinGW and MSVC builds can see it.
