gcc-4.1.1 accepts this as valid code: struct __attribute__((__aligned__(16))) foo { int a; }; sparse doesn't like it: test.c:7:8: error: Trying to use reserved word '__attribute__' as identifier I'm not sure if this is a bug that people are interested in solving, as the more common form works in both gcc and sparse: struct foo { int a; } __attribute__((__aligned__(16))); Thanks, -- Daniel Drake Brontes Technologies, A 3M Company - 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
