lib git repository on savannah without us noticing. Or one would simply commit some malware deep somewhere with --author and --committer set to an inactive contributors name. It is not inconceivable that, if timed well, this would easily slip by as people usually don't read every bit of history after a git-pull. Not possible if the commit must be signed for a push to pass. -- Arsen Arsenović signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: nullptr in C++ mode on macOS

2023-02-09 Thread Arsen Arsenović
me other bug I'm failing to see at this point in the night. Whether pre-11 standards are worth supporting is up to you, but my vote is on treating it like C99, though C++11 was more substantial than C99, and requiring it to be enabled. I urge this option, or not reusing the nullptr name. It's, to my awareness, not possible to correctly and portably implement nullptr in-language. I'll ask some friends for second opinions too. > I don't know how to proceed here. C++ is such a waste of time!!

Indeed, and if Gnulib is considered part of the said application, and it usually acts mostly as if it were, this application (ginstall-info) would have two conflicting ideas of what ``error'' means, and hence getting this warning.
