Sparse v0.6.3 is now out. The source code can be found at its usual repository: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git v0.6.3 The tarballs can be found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/dist/ Many thanks to people who have contributed to the 201 patches of this release: Alexey Gladkov, Ilya Maximets, Uwe Kleine-König, Ramsay Jones, Oleg Nesterov, Peter Zijlstra, Linus Torvalds, Davidson Francis, Valentin Schneider, Herbert Xu, Ard Biesheuvel and the kernel test robot. Special thanks to Ramsay Jones for testing the pre-release. Release notes for v0.6.3 ------------------------ Bug fixes: * fix missing inlining of _Generic expression * fix evaluation error with assignment of qualified arrays * delay 'empty character constant' warning to phase 5 * simplify & fix parsing of array declarators * accept whitespace after option -U * teach dissect about _Generic * reset locale after gtk_init() to workaround problems with strtold() * fix linearization of shift-assign * force to 0 expressions which are erroneously non-constant * fix evaluate_ptr_add() when sizeof(offset) != sizeof(pointer) * fix access to defining instruction in simplify_unop() * fix evaluation of pointer to bool conversions * fix usual conversion of integers * fix null pointer deref on return expression with invalid type New features: * add support for arch specific asm constraints * add memory asm constraint for PPC & S390 * prepend diagnostics with source's path and include chain * add support for h8300, microblaze, nds32, openrisc, sh & xtensa * add support for '-march=....' and use it for riscv * add an option to specify the OS: --os=$OS * add predefines for OS identification * add predefines for __INT_LEAST${N}_TYPE__ & __INT_FAST${N}_TYPE__ * document the sparse's extensions * sindex/semind: allow indexing outside the project tree * rename tool 'sindex' to 'semind' * add builtin support for __sync_{bool,val}_compare_and_swap() * add support for wide strings * union-cast: teach sparse about union casts * add support for a new instruction: OP_FMADD * add various warnings for dangerous usage of flexible array members * add builtin support for __builtin_ia32_pause() Misc changes: * cleanup the handling of options flags * avoid multiple warnings when inlining undeclared calls * small fixes for alpha, arm, nios2, ppc, sparc & x86 * add missing predefines for endianness on arm, arm64, mips * add various missing arch-specific predefines * add the predefines '__cdecl', ... on cygwin * warn on empty assignments & initializations * reorganize the keyword parsing table * the message in _Static_assert() is now optional (C2x) * small fixes & improvement to the [online] documentation * allow [*] in array declarators * do not accept comma expressions in array declarator * simplify parsing of attributes & storage class * bad-shift: wait dead code elimination to warn about bad shifts * fix is_scalar_type(): fouled types are scalars too * better support for linearization of builtins * remove definition of removed OP_{AND,OR}_BOOL
