tor/changes/require-c99

  o New compiler requirements:
    - Tor 0.2.6.x requires that your compiler support more of the C99
      language standard than before. The 'configure' script now detects
      whether your compiler supports C99 mid-block declarations and
      designated initializers. If it does not, Tor will not compile.

      We may revisit this requirement if it turns out that a significant
      number of people need to build Tor with compilers that don't
      bother implementing a 15-year-old standard. Closes ticket 13233.
Require two c99 features (midblock decls, designated initializers) c99 lets us do neat stuff like: { int j, k; foo(&j, &k); int z = j + k; } and also struct point { int x; int y; }; struct point pt = { .x=5, .y=5 }; This commit makes the configure scripts check to make sure your compiler implements them. It also disables our longstanding warning about midblock declarations. Closes ticket 13233. 2014-09-25 17:20:04 +02:00			`o New compiler requirements:`
