Sparse pre-release v0.6.1-rc1 is now out. It's a small release with just 32 patches. The source code can be found at its usual repository: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git v0.6.1-rc1 The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/dist/ Many thanks to Aurelien Aptel, Ramsay Jones and Uwe Kleine-König who contributed in patches, reviewing or testing. Most changes since the previous release (v0.6.0) are directly related to build & test problems detected on Debian thanks to Uwe Kleine-König. The shortlog is: Aurelien Aptel (1): is_null_pointer_constant(): replace magic constant by enum Luc Van Oostenryck (25): manpage: fix doc of '-Wcast-from-as' explain cause of 'incorrect type in conditional' testsuite: remove unneeded -m64 from command-line lib.c: move predefines out of handle_arch_m64_finalize() lib.c: move handle_arch_m64_finalize() to init_target() target.c: ignore -m64 on archs where int32_t is a long predefs: fix for MIPS system headers needing _MIPS_SZ{INT,LONG,PTR} predefs: add arch-specific predefines cgcc: teach cgcc about Hurd/GNU fix parallel install build: CHECKER is not needed, remove it build: always use '-Wall -Wwrite-strings' build: get rid of MAN1DIR testsuite: fix bad escaping of '[' & ']' cgcc: gendeps for -MM, -MD & -MMD too cgcc: -MF, -MQ & -MT need an argument evaluate: sizeof(bool) could be larger than sizeof(char) cgcc: define __APPLE_CC__ on OSX cgcc: -dumpmachine should be fetched with '$ccom' cgcc: add pseudo-archs for ppc64be/ppc64le cgcc: simpler handling of hard-float ARM cgcc: add support for x86-x32 cgcc: use strict & warnings display extra info for type errors in compare & conditional remove confusing intermediate 'where' in evaluate_assignment() Ramsay Jones (1): redecl: add test for attribute placement in function declarators Uwe Kleine-König (5): machine.h: Fix MACH_NATIVE on m68k Makefile: default to LD = CC validation: Add patterns FAIL, PASS, XPASS and XFAIL to test build: honor CFLAGS & friends from environment cgcc: favor using 'gcc -dumpmachine' to determine specifics Luc Van Oostenryck
