Subject: [PATCH 7/7] asm-generic: suppress sparse warning in ioctl.h
Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:33:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1207182818.5740.26.camel@brick> (raw)
1 ? 0 : x
is not valid in contexts where C requires integer constant expressions.
Index in static array initializer is one of those.
Instead of using a non-existant extern function, use 1/0 as the guard
expression to avoid using a gcc-ism. IOC_TYPECHECK gets pulled into
some static array initializations where this is not valid.
