During parsing, Sparse recognizes the attribute 'packed' but this
attribute is otherwise ignored for several reasons:
1) the attribute in 'struct __attr { ... }' is wrongly handled as
belonging to the whole declaration but it should belong to the type,
2) the attribute in 'struct <name> { ... } __attr;' is simply ignored,
3) the layout of packed bitfields need special care.
This series contains 2 parts:
1) handling of type attributes
2) correct layout of packed structs, including packed bitfields.
This series is also available for review and testing at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse-dev.git packed-v2
Changes since v1:
* fix layout of packed bitfields
Luc Van Oostenryck (16):
add testcases for dubious enum values
add testcases for exotic enum values
add testcases for enum attributes
add testcases for type attributes
add testcases for packed structures
add testcases for packed bitfields
apply_ctype: use self-explanatory argument name
apply_ctype: reverse the order of arguments
apply_ctype: move up its declaration
struct-attr: prepare to handle attributes at the end of struct definitions (1)
struct-attr: prepare to handle attributes at the end of struct definitions (2)
struct-attr: prepare to handle attributes at the end of struct definitions (3)
struct-attr: fix type attribute like 'struct __attr { ... }'
struct-attr: fix: do not ignore struct/union/enum type attributes
packed: no out-of-bound access of packed bitfields
packed: add support for __packed struct
