Both patches seem to work fine with MSVC 19.27 - I vaguely prefer the v2
version, which is simpler.
But to me, we could also just revert the change to
libavcodec/ccaption_dec.c, and declare that we require MSVC 19.28
instead. MSVC 19.27, when executed with -std:c11 without -nologo, it
prints this:
/std:c11 is a preview implementation of the ISO C11 standard, and
we're eager to hear about bugs and suggestions for improvements.
However, note that these features are provided as-is without support.
And I don't have any specific reasons for wanting to use this compiler -
I just tested the lowest version that was supposed to be supported
earlier and noted that it had broken recently. So to me, reverting to
requiring _Static_assert would be quite ok as well.
We can actually do both: Test for static_assert and for _Static_assert
(to exclude MSVC 19.27; is 19.28 still supposed to be a preview
implementation?).
19.28 no longer has that preview implementation banner, so from there on,
it should be fine.
The reason I prefer static_assert in the codebase is that _Static_assert
is actually deprecated with C23 (although I don't think it will be
removed any time).
Ah, I see. Right, with that in mind, unifying usage to static_assert
sounds good.
No strong opinion either way about the configure checks still (or whether
we should require _Static_assert to be supported), except that strictly
requiring static_assert seems less kludgy than trying to define it
ourselves.
