Any sparse's version since roughly mid-December should give the same result. If you're using an older version of sparse, please upgrade. Otherwise, please send me your config so that I can take a look at it. Best regards, -- Luc Van Oostenryck ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

It's fixed since a little while. So, just doing a clean build or removing all the deps (.*.d) should allow you to build sparse. I've verified the problem with asm and __inline in quota.h: it's autodetected by kconfig (CC_HAS_ASM_INLINE) so the exact config doesn't matter (only gcc's version does) but in all cases recent versions of sparse don't have a problem with it (an upstream version of `sparse --version` should return "v0.6.1-rc1-37-gd466a0281").

Well, personally, I simply use '{}'. GCC and sparse are happy with it but, IIRC, it's not allowed by the standard... > And what about the "namespace" warnings from the fscache (cache.o) > code that now show up?

This one is not from sparse, it's from modpost (see EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS). Cheers, -- Luc ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
