From: angquan yu <[email protected]> In tools/testing/selftests/proc/proc-empty->because the return value of a write call was being ignored. This call was partof a conditional debugging block (if (0) { ... }), which meant it would neveractually execute.
This patch removes the unused debug write call. This cleanup resolves the compi>warning about ignoring the result of write declared with the warn_unused_resultattribute. Removing this code also improves the clarity and maintainability ofthe function, as it eliminates a non-functional block of code. This is original warning: proc-empty-vm.c: In function ‘test_proc_pid_statm’:proc-empty-vm.c:385:17: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’ declared with>385 | write(1, buf, rv);| Signed-off-by: angquan yu <[email protected]> --- tools/testing/selftests/proc/proc-empty-vm.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/proc/proc-empty-vm.c b/tools/testing/selftests/proc/proc-empty-vm.c index 56198d4ca..74ef8627f 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/proc/proc-empty-vm.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/proc/proc-empty-vm.c @@ -382,7 +382,10 @@ static int test_proc_pid_statm(pid_t pid) assert(rv >= 0); assert(rv <= sizeof(buf)); if (0) { - write(1, buf, rv); + ssize_t written = write(1, buf, rv); + if (written == -1) { + perror("write failed /proc/${pid}"); + } } const char *p = buf; -- 2.39.2
