I have commit your test case with a bit more test case regarding function pointer assign. The change is in chrisl repository reveiw-pure-attr branch: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git/log/?h=review-pure-attr I purpose this fix for it. It can pass your test case. This patch limit the pure attribute to functions. The pure bit should not be a modifier in the first place. But that is a much bigger change. Can you please help me test and review the change?
