Subject: gitweb: Remove function prototypes (cleanup)
X-Git-Url: https://git.ladys.computer/Gitweb/commitdiff_plain/cb11a759f179c056d587d03e5d0d0fb2199b317c6761f184a7c1a396d05b225d?ds=sidebyside

gitweb: Remove function prototypes (cleanup)

Use of function prototypes is considered bad practice in Perl.  The
ones used here didn't accomplish anything anyhow, so they've been
removed.

>From perlsub(1):

  [...] the intent of this feature [prototypes] is primarily to let
  you define subroutines that work like built-in functions [...]
  you can generate new syntax with it [...]

We don't want to have subroutines behaving exactly like built-in
functions, we don't want to define new syntax / syntactic sugar, so
prototypes in gitweb are not needed... and they can have unintended
consequences.
