Currently sparse throws error each time at each unknown attributes. As GCC often creates new attributes, generaly for specific usages irrelevant to what sparse is used for. The errors from these not-yet-known attributes create needless noise and annoyance for no benefits. This series aims at reduce this noise by doing 3 things: * change the error to a warning * add a new flag to disable or enable warnings from those attributes * by default set this flag as disabled The first patch is independent of the others two. Luc Van Oostenryck (3): Warn on unknown attributes instead of throwing errors Add a new warning flag: '-Wunknown-attribute' By default disable the new warning flag '-Wunknown-attribute' lib.c | 2 ++ lib.h | 1 + parse.c | 3 ++- validation/Wunknown-attribute-def.c | 8 ++++++++ validation/Wunknown-attribute-no.c | 9 +++++++++ validation/Wunknown-attribute-yes.c | 10 ++++++++++ 6 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 validation/Wunknown-attribute-def.c create mode 100644 validation/Wunknown-attribute-no.c create mode 100644 validation/Wunknown-attribute-yes.c -- 2.10.1 -- 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
