From 8c87df457cb58fe75b9b893007917cf8095660a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:43:52 -0700 Subject: BUILD_BUG_ON(): fix it and a couple of bogus uses of it gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the condition isn't really constant now also need fixing. Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.
