[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] configure,etc: unify shebang usage

[J. Dekker]

In some cases, these scripts can be called directly by packagers, and
some systems require the interpreter to be explicit.

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] configure: simplify bigendian check

[J. Dekker]

The preferred way to use LTO is --enable-lto but often times packagers
still end up with -flto in cflags for various reasons. Using grep
on binary object files is brittle and relies on specific object
representation, which in the case of LLVM bitcode, debug-info or other
intermediary formats can fail silently.

This patch changes the check to a more commonly used define for
big-endian systems. More checks may need to be added in the future to
cover legacy machines.

It is unclear to me which of the changes are needed and for what reason, 
please elaborate much more in the commit message.

Is it possible to elaborate on "some systems require the interpreter to be 
explicit"? It'd be much nicer to reason about if there was a concrete 
example of such a case (even if it certainly is right to add the missing 
shebang line).

The changes I see fall into these categories:

- Change "#! <path>" into "#!<path>. Does this change have a functional 
effect for someone (where, and why?) or is it purely a cosmetic change?
- Add a shebang line in the generated ffbuild/config.sh. This script is 
highly unlikely to be useful to call on its own like that, so while this 
probably is good for consistency I don't see it ever making a difference.
- Add a shebang line in ffbuild/libversion.sh. I can see the value in 
calling this script directly, outside of our build system. I presume this 
is the actual change that makes a difference here?

I don't mind the changes, but I'd prefer to split them into two separate 
commits; add missing shebangs (with an example of the case where it really 
does make a difference), vs removing extra spaces in shebangs for 
consistency (with explicit clarification in the commit message whether 
this is only for stylistic consistency or whether it does make a 
difference somewhere, and if it does, where).

It's not common only for big-endian systems, but for GCC-style compilers 
on all endians.

Don't use the word "legacy" here. This define is not standard, so it's 
perfectly plausible to have a modern, standards compliant compiler that 
just doesn't use this define.

With the commmit message you added here, the change is ok, but please do 
reword the last sentence above.

I'd suggest changing the last paragraph into this:

---
This patch changes the check to a more commonly used define for
GCC style compilers. More checks may be needed to cover other potential 
compilers that don't use the __BYTE_ORDER__ define.
