Subject: [PATCH] wifi: carl9170: Add __nonstring annotations for unterminated strings
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 15:23:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250310222339.work.654-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

When a character array without a terminating NUL character has a static
initializer, GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization will only
warn if the array lacks the "nonstring" attribute[1]. Mark the arrays
with __nonstring to and correctly identify the char array as "not a C
string" and thereby eliminate the warning.
