There seems to be a decent amount of interest in moving to C99 as our base level of C support due to the many features it provides. Let's add a test balloon to make sure we haven't accidentally excluded any systems. Changes from v2: * Avoid setting the main CFLAGS to avoid breaking FreeBSD. * Set SPARSE_FLAGS again since it's now necessary with the main CFLAGS not being set. * Add a mention of "-std=gnu99" to the comment. Changes from v1: * Don't modify SPARSE_FLAGS since it's unnecessary. * Improve commit message to explain why we use -std=gnu99. brian m. carlson (1): git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99 support Makefile | 2 +- contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt | 2 +- git-compat-util.h | 13 +++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
