Alternatively can we: (1) move the wrapper to xf86drmMode.h itself, or (2) move this inline helper function out of xf86drmMode.h and into the two libdrm tests that use it (or a shared test helper .h [0]) (3) remove the inline and make drm_property_type_is a non-inline function in xf86drmMode.c
[0] I think Thierry already has a patch set that rearranges the tests to use some shared headers. Perhaps this will work well once his set lands.
Fwiw I would opt for 1 or 3 (leaning towards 1), as 2 might lead to:
- Everyone coming up with their own "helper", or
- Ignoring DRM_MODE_PROP_EXTENDED_TYPE checking
drmModePropertyPtr::flags, thus causing all sorts of chaos.
Randy, Niveditha, Stuart,
Does the compiler(s) used to build libdrm and friends support __inline ?
It should. I can't be 100% sure as there was just recently a new compiler release, but I would also suspect if this support was broken or dropped, then lots of stuff would break.
Cheers!
