Every single damn FOSS project which incorporates zlib, has to work around this, more often than not, resorting to autocrap hackering to do so.

@bsdphk There are some forks of zlib out there the biggest probably being zlib-ng, which I think goes for C11 support and have cleaned out a lot of old code. But is that taking it too far or would it be viable to change the zlib implementation as long as the header is the same?

@bsdphk Nuts. Multiple commits to turn off warnings on obsolete K&R that was obsolete 30 years ago.

Then, madler gets pedantic that the warnings are wrong.

I can see why people want Rust to step in on this stalemate.

@bsdphk And 30 years for C is 3 months for JavaScript. It feels like I'm migrating to a new build system every other week.

@bsdphk Sometimes it is amazing what hills people are willing to die on. I recall some code that refused to use stdint.h but instead made all the same declarations on it's own. The author couldn't stand that int_fast16_t was 32 bits.
