If I remember correctly we use -Wmissing-prototypes to somewhat catch this bad programming behaviour. Unfortunately GCC does not support a flag to do a similar thing for variables (where we enforce a variable to be `prototyped' with the `extern' keyword before allowing it to be declared. I noticed we have many variables in the kernel that should be marked static, but aren't. I don't know enough of GCC's internals to add this functionality. -- Ed Schouten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://80386.nl/
