[...] I only moved the "static const" at the front, I haven't changed the code as it's already has been a declaration and definition. There is no semicolon there and the original author put a newline to separate things which makes it look as if these were separate. Simple example based on the existing code: https://godbolt.org/z/hV4HP7 I hope this helps to illustrate the change in the patch. I apologise if my approach was incorrect. As part of the patch I removed the newline in an aim to make it less confusing to anyone who will read the code in the future. Especially, since it makes it a bit awkward to read and when using things like grep. Krzysztof
