Well, the above has two bugs that sparse could notice _independently_ of variable-sized arrays: - assignment outside of a function - variable size array that isn't an automatic variable (strictly speaking, that's not even a variable size - it's a constant 2, just with a non-constant expression - maybe you misread the "=" as an "==") Linus - 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
