Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci-core: fix "declaration does not declare anything" error
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:10:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814051032.261320-1-dmarlin@redhat.com> (raw)

A recent build attempt, using gcc-14.4 on RHEL-10, produced the
following errors:

In file included from ./include/net/bluetooth/hci_core.h:35,
                 from net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:39:
./include/net/bluetooth/hci.h:1476:34: error: declaration does not
declare anything [-Werror]
  1476 |         struct hci_std_codecs_hdr;
       |                                  ^
./include/net/bluetooth/hci.h:1477:17: error: flexible array member in a
struct with no named members
  1477 |         __u8    codec[];
       |                 ^~~~~

./include/net/bluetooth/hci.h:1516:37: error: declaration does not
declare anything [-Werror]
  1516 |         struct hci_std_codecs_v2_hdr;
       |                                     ^
./include/net/bluetooth/hci.h:1517:33: error: flexible array member in a
struct with no named members
  1517 |         struct hci_std_codec_v2 codec[];
       |                                 ^~~~~

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Adding a variable name (e.g., 'num') to each of the above struct definitions
avoids the error without changing the layout of the struct.

Fixes: a0cff16d0f6e ("Bluetooth: hci.h: Avoid a couple -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings")
