What is the purpose of checking for stdarg.h?
As the commit message says: "... and add a check for stdarg.h so readline headers
use proper rl_message declaration." I thought that's enough details, but
obviously it's not as you're asking :-)
The thing is that there's a following code in readline.h:
#if defined (USE_VARARGS) && defined (PREFER_STDARG)
extern int rl_message (const char *, ...) __attribute__((__format__ (printf, 1, 2)));
#else
extern int rl_message ();
#endif
The latter generates the described warning and the former does not.
PREFER_STDARG and USE_VARARGS come from another readline header,
rlstdc.h, and it contains the following:
#if defined (__STDC__) && defined (HAVE_STDARG_H)
# define PREFER_STDARG
# define USE_VARARGS
#else
# if defined (HAVE_VARARGS_H)
# define PREFER_VARARGS
# define USE_VARARGS
# endif
#endif
So we need to have HAVE_STDARG_H defined to have a proper declaration.
How do you like if I rephrase it like "... and add a check for stdarg.h so
we have HAVE_STDARG_H defined that's needed by the readline headers to use
proper rl_message declaration"?
ACK with this hunk removed or explained.
