Subject: What's this __dummy in asm-cris/bitops.h?
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 20:56:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47697761.1090702@anagramm.de> (raw)

Hello,

while looking for some assembly out of order / optimization stuff
for something else, I found some strange code in
.../linux/include/asm-cris/bitops.h:22


/*
* Some hacks to defeat gcc over-optimizations..
*/
struct __dummy { unsigned long a[100]; };
#define ADDR (*(struct __dummy *) addr)
#define CONST_ADDR (*(const struct __dummy *) addr)


CONST_ADDR is never used in the kernel.
Maybe some -cris people could have a look.

Thanks,
