Re: [PATCH][RFC] err.h: silence sparse warning: dereference of noderef expression

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Nothing shows up for me on x86_64, allmodconfig, linux-next from 10 of
June. My sparse has been compiled from sources.

$ make fs/locks.o C=2 CHECK="/home/vosipov/bin/sparse"
  CHK     include/config/kernel.release
  CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHECK   scripts/mod/empty.c
  CHECK   fs/locks.c

$ sparse —version
v0.5.0

$ which sparse
/home/vosipov/bin/sparse

Regards,
Vitaly
