Patch by Stefan Huehner / stefan % huehner ! org \ patch replaces '()' for the correct '(void)' in function declarations/prototypes which have no parameters. The '()' syntax tell thats there is a variable list of arguments, so that the compiler cannot check this. The extra CFLAG '-Wstrict-declarations' shows those cases. Comments about a similar patch applied to ffmpeg: That in C++ these mean the same, but in ANSI C the semantics are different; function() is an (obsolete) K&R C style forward declaration, it basically means that the function can have any number and any types of parameters, effectively completely preventing the compiler from doing any sort of type checking. -- Erik Slagter Defining functions with unspecified arguments is allowed but bad. With arguments unspecified the compiler can't report an error/warning if the function is called with incorrect arguments. -- M���\ns Rullg���\rd

## Reading the MPlayer Documentation ##
#######################################

Thanks for reading MPlayer documentation !!!


1. For "release" version users (i.e. non-CVS):

   a, Enter the HTML/ directory, and there you'll find the documentation,
      each language in its own subdirectory.

   b, If you prefer reading the documentation as a single big file it 
      can be found in the HTML-single/ directory, each language in its 
      own subdirectory.

   c, If the HTML/ or HTML-single/ directories don't contain your language, 
      try the subdirectories in this very same folder.


2. For "development" version users (i.e. CVS or CVS snapshots):

   a, Enter the xml/ directory, and read the README file there to find
      out how to build a HTML version of the XML documentation. It will
      be created in the HTML/ and HTML-single/ directories.

   b, If the xml/ directory doesn't contain your language, try the
      subdirectories in this very same folder.
