    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Known to work: gcc-3.4-20050121
(ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/3.4-20050121/gcc-3.4-20050121.tar.bz2)



Known to fail: gcc-4.0-20050123
(ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/4.0-20050123/gcc-4.0-20050123.tar.bz2)



In both case Binutils 2.15 was used



When compiling grub 0.96 using gcc-4.0-20050123, the following compile error
shows:



builtins.c: In function 'blocklist_func':

builtins.c:145: error: invalid storage class for function
'disk_read_blocklist_func'

builtins.c:145: warning: no previous prototype for
'disk_read_blocklist_func'

builtins.c: In function 'color_func':

builtins.c:592: error: invalid storage class for function 'color_number'

builtins.c:592: warning: no previous prototype for 'color_number'

builtins.c:3516: error: invalid storage class for function 'find_ascii_code'

builtins.c:3516: warning: no previous prototype for 'find_ascii_code'

make[2]: *** [pre_stage2_exec-builtins.o] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/Misc/grub-0.95/stage2'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/Misc/grub-0.95'

make: *** [all] Error 2



>From looking at the builtins.c, it appears to related to way grub uses the
keyword static.



Futhermore, gcc-4.0-20050123 is able to compile:



#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <string.h>



static void print(char * message)

{

        printf(message);

        printf("\n");

}



int main() {

        print("hello world");

        return 0;

}

Making this not a gcc-4.0-20050123 bug unless you can convice me.
