    Description

      Several files in Hadoop common uses gnu99 standard for writing code. This includes:

      • inline assembly in bulk_crc32_x86.c
      • assignment between function pointer and ‘void *’ in SnappyCompressor.c.

      Apache httpd server and important Apache projects are using c89 standard for coding. It would be nice if Hadoop can compile using c99 standard to avoid grey area with GPL license.
