[PATCH 2/3] add -Wold-style-declaration

[PATCH 2/3] add -Wold-style-declaration

[Tom Tromey]

This adds -Wold-style-declaration to gdb's list of warnings.

It turns out that a few places use "const static" rather than
"static const".  The former is deprecated according to the C standard.

Tested by rebuilding with --enable-targets=all on x86-64 Fedora 18.
This misses most of the "nat" code, but any needed fixes are trivial.

	* configure.ac (build_warnings): Add -Wold-style-declaration.
	* configure: Rebuild.
	* dsrec.c (make_srec): Use "static const", not "const static".
	* h8300-tdep.c (h8300_breakpoint_from_pc): Use "static const",
	not "const static".
	* mi/mi-parse.c (mi_no_values, mi_simple_values, mi_all_values):
	Use "static const", not "const static".
	* mn10300-tdep.c (mn10300_breakpoint_from_pc): Use "static const",
	not "const static".
	* moxie-tdep.c (moxie_breakpoint_from_pc): Use "static const",
	not "const static".
	* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_breakpoint_from_pc): Use "static const",
	not "const static".
	* v850-tdep.c (v850_breakpoint_from_pc): Use "static const",
	not "const static".
	(v850_dbtrap_breakpoint_from_pc): Likewise.
	* xstormy16-tdep.c (xstormy16_breakpoint_from_pc): Use "static const",
	not "const static".

[PATCH 0/3] add a few new warning options

[Tom Tromey]

I ran across -Wold-style-declaration elsewhere, and this prompted me
to add a few new -W options to gdb's configury.

Nothing too major here, just a few nits; but still worth putting in, I
think.

Some *-nat.c files may need updates.  The necessary changes are
trivial, though.

[PATCH 3/3] add -Wold-style-definition

[Tom Tromey]

This adds -Wold-style-definition to gdb's list of warnings.  This
found a couple of spots where "()" was used where "(void)" is more
correct.

Tested by rebuilding on x86-64 Fedora 18.

	* configure.ac (build_warnings): Add -Wold-style-definition.
	* configure: Rebuild.
	* machoread.c (_initialize_machoread): Use "(void)".
	* macrocmd.c (macro_inform_no_debuginfo): Fix formatting;
	use "(void)".

Note that I grepped gdb for "const static" and did not find any more
hits.  So, probably nothing will be needed.

I would find easier: s/$(ADA_EXP_C)/$</ and remove ADA_EXP_C = above.
Or is that for non-GNU make without VPATH?  But non-VPATH make would IMO fail
on missing pre-requisite file ada-exp.c.

I do not mind either way.

I think that according to POSIX, $< is unspecified in an explicit rule.

I think we ought to fully require GNU make but this patch isn't the way
to decide that :)

Yeah, I'll do it now.

I'm partly of the opinion that folks with very old versions of developer

Otherwise we're letting bad versions of flex, etc, hold things back.

Yes, me too.  Fine with me if you don't apply the patch.

I'm working on a system which has flex-2.5.4 installed, which
seems to data from 1997.  I'll build a local version.
