Subject: [PATCH v3][next] acpi: nfit: intel: avoid multiple -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:52:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aEneid7gdAZr1_kR@kspp> (raw)
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Refactor multiple structs that contain flexible-array members in the
middle by replacing them with unions.
These changes preserve the memory layout while effectively adjusting
it so that the flexible-array member is always treated as the last
member.
With these changes, fix a dozen instances of the following type of
warning:
drivers/acpi/nfit/intel.c:692:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavoars@kernel.org>
---
Changes in v3:
- Use union instead of DEFINE_RAW_FLEX().
Changes in v2:
- Use DEFINE_RAW_FLEX() instead of __struct_group().
