[PATCH 2/2] compiler.h: fix C++ uninitialized const issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



C++ does not like the union { typeof(x) __val; char __c[1]; } __u
construct for const types:
 error: uninitialized const member in
 'union atomic_read(const atomic_t*)::<anonymous>'
Address this by creating a C++ version of READ_ONCE where this union is
initialized: union { void _u(){}; typeof(x) __val; char __c[1]; } __u={0}

To please gcc 6.3.0 also add in a _u(){} as default ctor.

This makes C++ happy enough to build.
