Hi, I think I'm seeing a bug in the sparse preprocessor. I've reduced it to the following test case. ---------------------- /* If the macro has arguments, prepend them with a comma. */ #define ARGS_APPEND(...) , ## __VA_ARGS__ #define __ARG17(_0, _1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, _8, _9, _10, _11, _12, \ _13, _14, _15, _16, _17, ...) _17 /* Return 1 if the macro has arguments, 0 otherwise. */ #define HAS_ARGS(...) __ARG17(0, ## __VA_ARGS__, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, \ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0) /* Macros for passing inline asm constraints as macro arguments */ #define ARGS(args...) args #define OUTPUTS ARGS #define INPUTS ARGS #define CLOBBERS ARGS #define __CLOBBERS_APPEND_0(...) #define __CLOBBERS_APPEND_1(...) , __VA_ARGS__ #define __CLOBBERS_APPEND(has_args, ...) \ __CLOBBERS_APPEND_ ## has_args (__VA_ARGS__) #define _CLOBBERS_APPEND(has_args, ...) \ __CLOBBERS_APPEND(has_args, __VA_ARGS__) /* If the macro has arguments, prepend them with a colon. */ #define CLOBBERS_APPEND(...) \ _CLOBBERS_APPEND(HAS_ARGS(__VA_ARGS__), __VA_ARGS__) void foo() { ARGS_APPEND() CLOBBERS_APPEND() } ---------------------- $ gcc -c -o test.o test.c -E; cat test.o # 1 "test.c" # 1 "<built-in>" # 1 "<command-line>" # 31 "<command-line>" # 1 "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h" 1 3 4 # 32 "<command-line>" 2 # 1 "test.c" # 31 "test.c" void foo() { } $ sparse -c -o test.o test.c -E void foo() { , , } Notice that sparse incorrectly inserts a comma for both macros when they have zero arguments. -- Josh -- 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
