Subject: compiler.h: introduce TYPEOF_UNQUAL() macro
Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2024 21:45:17 +0100
Define TYPEOF_UNQUAL() to use __typeof_unqual__() as typeof operator when
available, to return unqualified type of the expression.
Current version of sparse doesn't know anything about __typeof_unqual__()
operator. Avoid the usage of __typeof_unqual__() when sparse checking is
active to prevent sparse errors with unknowing keyword.
