C2X has removed K&R definitions from the C function syntax.
Though the standard has not yet been approved, some high-profile
compilers are now issuing warnings when such definitions are
encountered.
inflateSync() is used to skip invalid deflate data, which means
that the check value that was being computed is no longer useful.
This commit turns off the check value computation, and furthermore
allows a successful return if the compressed data terminated in a
graceful manner. This commit also fixes a bug in the case that
inflateSync() is used before a header is ever processed. In that
case, there is no knowledge of a trailer, so the remainder is
treated as raw.
This patch allows zlib to compile cleanly with the -Wcast-qual gcc
warning enabled, but only if ZLIB_CONST is defined, which adds
const to next_in and msg in z_stream and in the in_func prototype.
A --const option is added to ./configure which adds -DZLIB_CONST
to the compile flags, and adds -Wcast-qual to the compile flags
when ZLIBGCCWARN is set in the environment.
