Re: [bug-standards] Suggestion for GNU Coding Standards

[Karl Berry]

Hi Sam,

     * ({all}) C90ify sources

Thanks for the suggestion.  In practice, I would be probably be tempted
to cheat and just state the change and leave it at that, like the
"simple changes" node says ... although it's not necessarily a "simple"
change :).

On the other hand, the purpose of the ChangeLog is to record what files
were changed when, and {all} would make later analysis harder.  That is,
when files got added or removed later, it would not be easy to tell
whether they were included in the change or not.

I'll probably ask rms, since he has final say on these things.  At any
rate, thanks for writing ...

Happy compiling,
karl
