[ Just want to clarify your comment. ]
Admittedly, this is an (ugly) workaround to avoid compile errors.
E.g. when code is written like this in the function:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI))
size = max(size, sizeof(struct rt_sigframe_x32));
and compile with CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=n, got such a message:
"invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct
sigframe_ia32’"
While the coding-style doc [1] seems to mention this:
"However, this approach still allows the C compiler to see the
code inside the block, and check it for correctness (syntax,
types, symbol references, etc). Thus, you still have to use an
#ifdef if the code inside the block references symbols that
will not exist if the condition is not met.”
In general, putting #ifdef in a C file is advised to avoid. I wonder
whether it is okay to include #ifdef in the C file in this case.
Thanks,
