Subject: [PATCH next 02/14] kbuild: Add W=c for additional compile time checks
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:57:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121145731.3623-3-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260121145731.3623-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Some compile time checks significantly bloat the pre-processor output
(particularly when the get nested).
Since the checks aren't really needed on every compilation enable with
W=c (adds -DKBUILD_EXTRA_WARNc) so the checks can be enabled per-build.
Make W=1 imply W=c so the build-bot includes the checks.
As well as reducing the bloat from existing checks (like those in
GENMASK() and FIELD_PREP()) it lets additional checks be added
while there are still 'false positives' without breaking normal builds.
