I vaguely recall feeling a slight twinge as I did that,
but since coreutils proper has been using decl-after-stmt,
for so long, I let it slide.
How does that work? Do most compilers out there really support
decl-after-stmt (not likely?!), or do you offer a patch for users with
older compilers?
I used to maintain a patch, src/c99-to-c89.diff, that would perform the
conversion, but stopped 4 or 5 months ago. It was not worth the trouble.
So far, no one has complained.
...only because I haven't tried to build anything modern :-). I'm still
stuck with quite a few systems that (unless their compilers got updated
when I wasn't looking, which seems unlikely) don't grok C99, I just
haven't been trying to keep their toolchains up-to-date.
But if I'm the only one, I guess you're okay until/unless I find time to
do updates again.
