commit 9e1f5bc0 ("sha1_file.c: support reading from a loose object of unknown type", 15-04-2015) added a new externally visible function which does not require more than file scope. This causes sparse to issue a warning message about this symbol. In order to suppress the warning, add the static qualifier to the function definition. [An alternative solution, if this symbol should have external scope, is to add an external declaration for the function to the "cache.h" header file (next to the one for parse_sha1_header()).] Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Karthik, If you need to re-roll your patches in the 'kn/cat-file-literally' branch, could you please squash this, or something like it, into the relevant patch.
