The goal of this series is to fix the problem present in sparse when a bitfield in an uninitialized automatic variable is first set then read-back. In this case the bitfield itself is initialized but not the remaining of the structure/word and sparse was not smart enough to handle it. This is for testing only and the patches are not meant to be applied on the main tree becasue it need the new SSA construction to handle the undefined vars correctly. (two other simplifications is also needed to make the generated code a no-op as it should be but not yet implemented). The whole code is available in the git repository at: git://github.com/lucvoo/sparse.git fix-loading-partialy-defined-bitfields ---------------------------------------------------------------- Luc Van Oostenryck (3): new helper: def_opcode() change loading of bitfields simplify ((A & M') | B ) & M when M' & M == 0 linearize.c | 15 +++++++----- simplify.c | 61 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ validation/bitfield-size.c | 6 +++-- 3 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- 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
