Subject: [PATCH] Work around coverity being a pretty lazy and poor tool.

I mean, come on, at least dynamically import the types you've missed
from the version of GCC that's installed on the system and you're
pretending to emulate.

Hi,
thanks for that patch. That made coverity with gcc 7.3 and vim finally build again (after the service is up again).

Did you report the issue to coverity?

Did you report the issue to coverity?

Did I report "your closed-source tool hasn't worked in the last couple of years with the free software compiler it claims to be"? No. I'm not on their QA team, and I'm not doing free QA for closed source software.
