In Linux kernel, we get that message 2 times (in x86_64 allmodconfig): ../fs/exofs/ore_raid.c:95:64: warning: division by zero ../fs/exofs/ore_raid.c:116:36: warning: division by zero when dividing by variable sizeof_a1pa, where that is: const unsigned sizeof__a1pa = sizeof(_aab->__a1pa[0]); which is in this struct: struct _alloc_all_bytes { struct __alloc_stripe_pages_2d { struct __stripe_pages_2d sp2d; struct __1_page_stripe _1p_stripes[pages_in_unit]; } __asp2d; struct __alloc_1p_arrays { struct page *pages[group_width]; struct page *scribble[group_width]; char page_is_read[data_devs]; } __a1pa[pages_in_unit]; } *_aab; where 'pages_in_unit' is a function parameter. So, yes, it could have a value of zero. Is the warning message considered correct or useful as is? If so, OK, no problem. Although I would rather see something more like: warning: variable length array on stack thanks, -- ~Randy -- 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
