Hello! Sparse crashed when checking drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/gpio.c in Linux. I could reduce the crash to the following simple program: enum kind { GOOD }; static void foo(enum kind k) { } static void bar(int ok, int k) { foo(ok ? GOOD : k); } Here's the gdb trace: Starting program: /home/proski/bin/sparse kind.c kind.c:9:12: warning: mixing different enum types Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000004328bf in do_show_type (sym=0x3, name=0x7fffffffdda0) at show-parse.c:242 242 if (!sym || (sym->type != SYM_NODE && sym->type != SYM_ARRAY && (gdb) p sym $1 = (struct symbol *) 0x3 (gdb) up #1 0x0000000000432e95 in show_typename (sym=0x7ffff7f99190) at show-parse.c:379 379 do_show_type(sym, &name); (gdb) p sym $2 = (struct symbol *) 0x7ffff7f99190 (gdb) p *sym $3 = {type = SYM_ENUM, namespace = NS_NONE, used = 0 '\0', attr = 0 '\0', enum_member = 0 '\0', bound = 0 '\0', pos = {type = 42, stream = 0, newline = 0, whitespace = 0, pos = 0, line = 90177666, noexpand = 0}, endpos = {type = 9, stream = 0, newline = 0, whitespace = 0, pos = 0, line = 2012974384, noexpand = 1}, ident = 0x0, next_id = 0x7ffff7f99250, replace = 0x7ffff7fdaa20, scope = 0x0, {same_symbol = 0x0, next_subobject = 0x0}, op = 0x3, {{expansion = 0x901700082, arglist = 0x668380, used_in = 0x0}, {handler = 0x901700082, normal = 6718336}, {offset = 38678823042, bit_size = 6718336, bit_offset = 0, arg_count = 0, variadic = 0, initialized = 0, examined = 0, expanding = 0, evaluated = 0, string = 0, designated_init = 0, array_size = 0x0, ctype = {modifiers = 140737353844496, alignment = 140737353984512, contexts = 0x0, as = 0, base_type = 0x3}, arguments = 0x902400082, stmt = 0x668380, symbol_list = 0x0, inline_stmt = 0x7ffff7fb8c50, inline_symbol_list = 0x7ffff7fdaa60, initializer = 0x0, ep = 0x0, value = 3, definition = 0x905600082}}, { bb_target = 0x668380, aux = 0x668380, {kind = -128 '\200', visited = 1 '\1'}}, pseudo = 0x0} (gdb) sym->ctype.base_type is 0x3, so sym becomes 0x3 after the first iteration in do_show_type(). -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
