For example: https://godbolt.org/z/G54s5z If you change `typecheck(unsigned long, a)` and `typecheck(unsigned long, b)` in `time_after()` both to `1` (what `typecheck` would evaluate to), then the warning goes away. But a further simplification shows that GNU C statement expressions are not the problem: https://godbolt.org/z/KzCN8m I need to keep investigating, but there may be more we can do on the compiler side. It seems that another workaround that avoid default initialization is to just create another local for the temporary expression that provably initialized this_cpu, ie. diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_request.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_request.c index c2a5c48c7541..5b90b5c35c8b 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_request.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_request.c @@ -1028,8 +1028,9 @@ static unsigned long local_clock_us(unsigned int *cpu) static bool busywait_stop(unsigned long timeout, unsigned int cpu) { unsigned int this_cpu; + unsigned long local_clock = local_clock_us(&this_cpu); - if (time_after(local_clock_us(&this_cpu), timeout)) + if (time_after(local_clock, timeout)) return true; return this_cpu != cpu; -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
