Subject: [patch 3/3] d80211: silence sparse warning: bad constant expression
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 10:03:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061009170345.GC27239@devicescape.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20061009170159.804032000@devicescape.com
[-- Attachment #1: sparse.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1081 bytes --]
Sparse does not figure out that algs[] isn't really a variable length array.
The message is:
net/d80211/ieee80211_sta.c:934:12: error: bad constant expression
This switches algs[] to be obviously a constant array, and derives the value of
num_algs algs[]. The code is correct and equivalent with or without this
change.
