Subject: Warnings on global symbols accessed only from assembly code
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 02:00:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100212000052.GA6837@laptop> (raw)

Hi,

Is there a way to let sparse avoid emitting warnings like:

   symbol 'X' was not declared. Should it be static?

for global methods that are only accessed from assembly files?

The reason is that a declaration for such methods - which are usually
bootstrap ones - can given the false impression of being used by some
C code 'somewhere'.

Unfortunately the current `-Wno-decl' solution is a bit extreme: it
turns off a very useful sparse feature (by design).

Thanks,
