It is in my series as well. I applied this patch to the current spares git code and reran my test and now we have two warnings: CHECK fs/ntfs/file.c fs/ntfs/file.c:2241:5: warning: incorrect type in argument 8 (different signedness) fs/ntfs/file.c:2241:5: expected int [signed] ( [signed] [usertype] get_block )( ... ) fs/ntfs/file.c:2241:5: got int [signed] ( static [toplevel] *<noident> )( ... ) include/linux/fs.h:1791:14: warning: incorrect type in argument 8 (different signedness) include/linux/fs.h:1791:14: expected int [signed] ( [signed] [usertype] get_block )( ... ) include/linux/fs.h:1791:14: got int [signed] ( *get_block )( ... ) Best regards, Anton > > Chris > > Index: sparse/symbol.h > =================================================================== > --- sparse.orig/symbol.h 2007-02-04 23:46:07.000000000 -0800 > +++ sparse/symbol.h 2007-02-05 12:18:30.000000000 -0800 > @@ -191,6 +191,7 @@ struct symbol { > #define MOD_SIZE (MOD_CHAR | MOD_SHORT | MOD_LONG | MOD_LONGLONG) > #define MOD_IGNORE (MOD_TOPLEVEL | MOD_STORAGE | MOD_ADDRESSABLE | \ > MOD_ASSIGNED | MOD_USERTYPE | MOD_FORCE | MOD_ACCESSED | MOD_EXPLICITLY_SIGNED) > +#define MOD_PTRINHERIT (MOD_VOLATILE | MOD_CONST | MOD_NODEREF | MOD_STORAGE) > > > /* Current parsing/evaluation function */ > Index: sparse/evaluate.c > =================================================================== > --- sparse.orig/evaluate.c 2007-02-04 00:47:46.000000000 -0800 > +++ sparse/evaluate.c 2007-02-05 12:20:08.000000000 -0800 > @@ -1282,7 +1282,7 @@ static void examine_fn_arguments(struct > else > ptr->ctype.base_type = arg; > ptr->ctype.as |= s->ctype.as; > - ptr->ctype.modifiers |= s->ctype.modifiers; > + ptr->ctype.modifiers |= s->ctype.modifiers & MOD_PTRINHERIT; > > s->ctype.base_type = ptr; > s->ctype.as = 0; > @@ -1313,8 +1313,6 @@ static struct symbol *convert_to_as_mod( > return sym; > } > > -#define MOD_PTRINHERIT (MOD_VOLATILE | MOD_CONST | MOD_NODEREF | MOD_STORAGE) > - > static struct symbol *create_pointer(struct expression *expr, struct symbol *sym, int degenerate) > { > struct symbol *node = alloc_symbol(expr->pos, SYM_NODE); > > -- Anton Altaparmakov <aia21 at cam.ac.uk> (replace at with @) Unix Support, Computing Service, University of Cambridge, CB2 3QH, UK Linux NTFS maintainer, http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
