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

# This is a wrapper around the -identify functionality.
# It is supposed to escape the output properly, so it can be easily
# used in shellscripts by 'eval'ing the output of this script.
