I will definitely not object to the patch as the code is cleaner and less tricky.
You can add
Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
But I
still do not understand which part of the code is undefined and why. My
reading and understanding of the C specification is that
struct A {
int a;
int b;
};
struct A f = { .a = c = foo(c), .b = c};
as long as foo(c) doesn't have any side effects because because .a is
initialized before b and the assignment ordering will make sure that c
is initialized before a.
6.7.8 par 19 (ISO/IEC 9899)
19 The initialization shall occur in initializer list order, each
initializer provided for a particular subobject overriding any
previously listed initializer for the same subobject; all subobjects
that are not initialized explicitly shall be initialized implicitly
the same as objects that have static storage duration.
So is my understanding of the specification wrong or is this a bug in
-Wunsequenced in Clang?
