Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: bcm2835: constify gpio_chip structure
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 13:03:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170711180339.GA17806@embeddedgus> (raw)
This structure is only used to copy into other structure, so declare
it as const.
This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... };
@ok@
identifier r.i;
expression e;
position p;
@@
e = i@p;
@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct gpio_chip e;
@@
e@i@p
@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r.i;
@@
static
+const
struct gpio_chip i = { ... };
In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size
and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output
of the size command, before and after the code change:
before:
