A common mistake in C is omitting extern when declaring a global variable
in a header file. If the header is included by several files it results in
multiple definitions of the same variable. In previous GCC versions this
error is ignored. GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common, which means a linker
error will now be reported. To fix this, use extern in header files when
declaring global variables, and ensure each global is defined in exactly
one C file. As a workaround, legacy C code can be compiled with -fcommon.
int x; // tentative definition - avoid in header files
extern int y; // correct declaration in a header file"
So, for those of us using F31 as the development / test environment, is there
a macro that we can add -fno-common to in ~/.rpmmacros without placing it in
the %__global_compiler_flags in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros ?
Looking for an easy way to reproduce this without modifying root owned files.
