How to do Pull Request without fork repo? :-o

[allentc]

The usual thing to do is fork the repo and submit the PR from your fork. If you don't anticipate making further PRs then delete your fork after the PR is merged.
See: Pull request without forking?

[VVD]

This way require fork… :-(

[allentc]

Well, that's standard practice with Git/GitHub. Takes about 3 seconds to make a fork.

@VVD I understand you are building under FreeBSD? Do you know, why the build on Linux does not require such a patch?

[VVD]

@SebDieBln, yes, FreeBSD.
Maybe it's clang vs gcc issue?
