Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Add __nonstring annotations for unterminated strings
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 09:59:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250312165922.work.963-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.
Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117178 [1]

I wanted to send this as the fix from the "Linux perspective", but
I know ACPICA is separate upstream, and likely the fixes will come
from there. To that end, I've proposed these changes uptream as well:
