../libkmod/libkmod-file.c: In function 'kmod_file_open':
../shared/macro.h:25:9: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Wdeclaration-after-statement]

Is there a particular use-case for explicitly forcing C90?

not forcing C90, but forcing -Wdeclaration-after-statement as per
flag passed in configure.ac. I think the message given by gcc is
misleading here.

Lucas De Marchi


The configure.ac contains `AC_PROG_CC_C99`, which seems reasonable
IMHO. Plus the autogen.sh goes a step further with `-std=gnu11`

Thanks
