[PATCH 2/2] include: warn for inconsistent endian config definition

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

 



Display warning if CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is not defined on big endian
architecture and also warn if it defined on little endian architectures.

We have seen some generic code(for example code include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h)
uses CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to decide the endianess.

Here is the original discussion
