When trying to use sparse on some low-level userspace code, I ran into the following error: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:381:11: error: unable to open 'asm/socket.h' It looks like that file lives in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/socket.h , and gcc has /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu in its default include path. This relates to Debian's multiarch efforts, moving such headers to paths which include the architecture to allow simultaneous installation of the headers for multiple architectures. I don't know how gcc ends up with that directory in its include path, but sparse needs to follow suit to compile any code which includes these architecture-specific headers. I've CCed the Debian GCC maintainers and multiarch developers, in the hopes of getting some additional details that might help resolve this problem. - Josh Triplett -- 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
