Summary: Examples in glibc manual are inconsistent in
declarations of main()
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: manual
AssignedTo: roland@gnu.org
ReportedBy: rafe.kettler@gmail.com
Created attachment 5876

Patch for main() signatures in glibc manual. Generated by git diff
Different examples in the manual use varying declarations for main(), some of
which are outdated or non-standard.
manual/examples/longopt.c uses a pre-standard declaration for main like so:
int
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
manual/examples/strncat.c uses a main() with no return type declared:
main()
Those are the only examples that are blatantly anachronistic. There is one more
inconsistency in manual/examples/subopt.c, however, which uses a a different
style for declaring main than all of the other examples. subopt.c uses:
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
while all of the other examples use:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
The former is inconsistent with the latter, and the latter is inconsistent with
the GNU coding standards.
Attached is a patch (generated by `git diff > main_signatures.patch` that
changes the signature of every main() in the examples to be either:
int
main (void)
or
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
Thanks for your time.
PS: if someone needs a different kind of patch, I'd be happy to generate a
different kind of patch.
