Hi everyone,
My apologies if this has already been reported in some capacity, I
searched the mailing list and patchwork but I didn't see anything.
With GCC 8.1.0, I am starting to see the following warnings from
Kconfig:
CC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
LEX scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
In file included from scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c:2496:
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c: In function ‘conf_write’:

I am not sure if this is a false positive or not, otherwise I would have
sent a patch. I tested on the latest linux-next with Masahiro's for-next
branch, currently at commit 57282f7da50c ("Merge branch 'kconfig' into
for-next").
Thanks!
Nathan
