I've amended the early part of the proposed log message in preparation for merging it to 'next' and then later down to 'master'. Here is what the result looks like. Thanks. Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 27 02:52:51 2021 +0200 pack-objects: move static inline from a header to its sole consumer Move the code that is only used in builtin/pack-objects.c out of pack-objects.h. This fixes an issue where Solaris's SunCC hasn't been able to compile git since 483fa7f42d9 (t/helper/test-bitmap.c: initial commit, 2021-03-31). The real origin of that issue is that in 898eba5e630 (pack-objects: refer to delta objects by index instead of pointer, 2018-04-14) utility functions only needed by builtin/pack-objects.c were added to pack-objects.h. Since then the header has been used in a few other places, but 483fa7f42d9 was the first time it was used by test helper. Since Solaris is stricter about linking and the oe_get_size_slow() function lives in builtin/pack-objects.c the build started failing with: Undefined first referenced symbol in file oe_get_size_slow t/helper/test-bitmap.o ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to t/helper/test-tool On other platforms this is presumably OK because the compiler and/or linker detects that the "static inline" functions that reference oe_get_size_slow() aren't used. Let's solve this by moving the relevant code from pack-objects.h to builtin/pack-objects.c. This is almost entirely a code-only move, but because of the early macro definitions in that file referencing some of these inline functions we need to move the definition of "static struct packing_data to_pack" earlier, and declare these inline functions above the macros.
