Subject: subversion-1/svn_wc.h:1210: error: comma at end of enumerator
list

Hello,

When I compiled with GCC (4.2.1) with compiler option -pedantic against
header file `svn_wc.h' in subversion version 1.7 I get the following
error:

In file included from main.cc:1:
/opt/local/include/subversion-1/svn_wc.h:1210: error: comma at end of
enumerator list
make: *** [main] Error 1

I suspect this is caused by a typo in svn_wc.h at line 1210:

   /** The operation skipped the path because it was conflicted.
    * @since New in 1.7. */
   svn_wc_notify_skip_conflicted,

} svn_wc_notify_action_t;

because other enums in the same file have no comma after the last item. 
Is there are reason to have this comma that I'm missing or could it be
removed?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The trailing comma is explicitly invalid per ANSI C 89 (though some
compilers, notably GCC, permitted it).  C99 removes this restriction.
It's valid everywhere without the comma, so it's perfectly safe (and
probably desirable) to remove it.  A Google search on 'trailing comma
enum' will find many instances of people submitting similar patches to
other open source projects.

Tony.


Thanks and please let me know if you need further information from me.
