[PATCH 1/3] Kconfig: disable PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES for compile testing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This can easily double the time for compiling a driver but does not
provide any benefit for the compile tester, so it's better left disabled.

In addition, any 'inline' function that is not also 'static' and that
contains an 'if' causes a warning like

include/linux/string.h:212:2: note: in expansion of macro 'if'
  if (strscpy(p, q, p_size < q_size ? p_size : q_size) < 0)
  ^~
include/linux/compiler.h:162:4: warning: '______f' is static but declared in inline function 'strcpy' which is not static

without this patch, and I could not come up with a nice fix for that.
In combination with my patch to always enable 'CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST'
during 'randconfig' builds, we can at least hide these warnings for
most users.
