Well, I remember some quite similar looking code of yours which broke
gcc 2.95, IIRC it caused some issue ?segfault? at runtime.

Considering that your patches almost always break gcc 2.95 while random
C code does and did not. That is hard to belive.

I just pointed out something i noticed when looking at a few lines of the
patch. I did not point it out overly politely, but truth is i do not care
much if mplayer can be compiled with gcc 2.95 or not. I think its nice
if its possible and the work needed to keep 2.95 support (excluding commits
and patches by you) is very small. Also it seems theres a consensus and
democratic majority in favor of keeping 2.95 support. Of course you dont
give a damn about that but we had all this discussion and its very boring
to start this again. Do what you want, i have better things to do than to
fight with you.
