It's a compiler problem. With gcc 3.3.5: drivers/ide/ide-cd.c: In function `cdrom_analyze_sense_data': drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:433: warning: `s' might be used uninitialized in this function Looks like the compiler's being stupid about my earlier patch which makes printk an inline (and it's the only thing in the tree to do so). gcc-snapshot doesn't complain. > /mjt > > >Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall > > > >Index: af/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c > >=================================================================== > >--- af.orig/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c 2005-04-01 11:17:37.000000000 -0800 > >+++ af/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c 2005-04-01 11:55:09.000000000 -0800 > >@@ -430,7 +430,7 @@ void cdrom_analyze_sense_data(ide_drive_ > > #if VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS > > { > > int i; > >- const char *s; > >+ const char *s = "bad sense key!"; > > char buf[80]; > > > > printk ("ATAPI device %s:\n", drive->name); > >@@ -445,8 +445,6 @@ void cdrom_analyze_sense_data(ide_drive_ > > > > if (sense->sense_key < ARY_LEN(sense_key_texts)) > > s = sense_key_texts[sense->sense_key]; > >- else > >- s = "bad sense key!"; > > > > printk("%s -- (Sense key=0x%02x)\n", s, sense->sense_key); > > > > -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time.
