I forgot to enter a title, and, now, I do not find a way to change it. The title should be:

error: ‘SSIZE_MAX’ undeclared (first use in this function)*

Changing title to a more meaningful one, as requested

changed title from Fails to Build failure: ‘SSIZE_MAX’ undeclared (first use in this function)

assigned to @thresh

added Component::Build system label

This was already fixed several days ago...

added Status::fixed label

closed

changed milestone to %3.0.1

Fixed in 3.0 branch by http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/vlc-3.0.git;a=commit;h=666789f2cc2b756a44009f206e057afb72f80100

Thank you for the quick help.
