Commit 38d1124 (Fix error at anoymous unions, 2014-04-03) says: Ok, this fixes the warning, but we seem to still mess up the actual initializer. It looks like some later phase gets the offset wrong, so when we lay things out in memory, we'll put things at offset zero (which is right for your test-case, but not if there was something before that anonymous union). This is because in evaluate.c::convert_ident() the offset of a member of the inner union is set to the offset within the union, not the overall offset. Earlier, the correct offset has been calculated for check_designators() by find_identifier() so by setting the offset there we end up using the correct offset later on. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I'm pretty sure this is the wrong fix and I suspect it breaks some other scenarios like mixing designators and plain initializers, but I've run out of time to investigate this further and hopefully the correct patch will be obvious to someone who knows the code better... evaluate.c | 3 +-- validation/anon-union.c | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/evaluate.c b/evaluate.c index 7ce8c55..cb58ccc 100644 --- a/evaluate.c +++ b/evaluate.c @@ -2223,9 +2223,7 @@ static void convert_index(struct expression *e) static void convert_ident(struct expression *e) { struct expression *child = e->ident_expression; - struct symbol *sym = e->field; e->type = EXPR_POS; - e->init_offset = sym->offset; e->init_nr = 1; e->init_expr = child; } @@ -2328,6 +2326,7 @@ static struct expression *check_designators(struct expression *e, break; } e->field = e->ctype = ctype; + e->init_offset = offset; last = e; if (!e->ident_expression) { err = "invalid"; diff --git a/validation/anon-union.c b/validation/anon-union.c index 487f957..8670868 100644 --- a/validation/anon-union.c +++ b/validation/anon-union.c @@ -1,10 +1,11 @@ struct s { + int type; union { int val; }; }; -static struct s foo = { .val = 5, }; +static struct s foo = { .type = 42, .val = 5, }; /* * check-name: test anonymous union initializer */ -- 2.0.0.rc2.4.g1dc51c6 -- 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
