Then your build must not have been compiling your changed
code, because the result of your change produces code that
will not compile successfully.
If you look at where gb_loopback_stats_attrs() is called, it's
used only at outer scope, in "drivers/staging/greybus/loopback.c".
Adding do { ... } while() at outer scope is nonsensical.
#define gb_loopback_attr(field, type) \ static ssize_t field##_show(struct device *dev, \Why did you only change one if you thought this was a valid change?1. As per my C background, I think no other macros in the above source code file need to be enclosed in a do - while loop.
gb_loopback_stats_attrs() must *not* be enclosed in a do..while loop.
2. I am writing the patch because of the Eudyptula Challenge, and I have to fix "one coding style problem" in any of the files in drivers/staging/. The above one was one of them.
I support the challenge. But you need to be sure your fix actually works, and in particular (in this case) that it compiles correctly. -Alex
