+Subject: [PATCH] Fix compiling demos without nuklear
+
+Demos can't be compiled if nuklear headers are not present, because
+the implementation of parse_args function is guarded by HAVE_NUKLEAR macro.
+
+To allow compiling demos without the Nuklear headers, move the implementation
+outside of this ifdef.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/haasn/libplacebo/pull/315]
