Hello there, I just tried to compile Linux kernel 2.6.20.7 with the GNU C compiler 4.3 snapshot 20070420.
It said drivers/w1/w1.c: In function 'w1_slave_read_id': drivers/w1/w1.c:118: error: cannot take address of bit-field 'family' drivers/w1/w1.c:118: error: cannot take address of bit-field 'family' drivers/w1/w1.c:118: error: cannot take address of bit-field 'family' drivers/w1/w1.c:118: error: cannot take address of bit-field 'family' drivers/w1/w1.c:118: error: cannot take address of bit-field 'family' drivers/w1/w1.c:118: error: cannot take address of bit-field 'family' The code compiled fine under snapshot 20070406 and gcc 4.1.2 and it looks fine to me.
