When "CONFIG_BUG=n", it will report many related warnings (for me, CONFIG_BUG need be as architecture specific config feature, not a generic config feature -- most architectures always enable it). So for common generic users, we can assume it will always have effect. > Since the metag compiler is stuck on an old version (gcc 4.2.4), which > is wrong to warn in this case, and newer versions of gcc don't appear to > warn about it anyway (I just checked with gcc 4.7.2 x86_64), I have no > objection to this warning remaining in the metag build. > Do you try "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W" with gcc 4.7.2? I guess it will report the warning too, I don't feel the compiler is smart enough (except it lets the long function zswap_get_swap_cache_page really inline) :-) Thanks. -- Chen Gang Open, share, and attitude like air, water and life which God blessed -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
