Here is a small test case for this problem:
====== ioc-typecheck.c ======
extern unsigned int __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC;
#define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) \
((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) && \
sizeof(t) < (1 << 14)) ? \
sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC)
#define TEST_IOCTL (50 | (_IOC_TYPECHECK(unsigned) << 8))
static unsigned iocnrs[] = {
[TEST_IOCTL & 0xff] = 1,
};
/*
* check-name: correct handling of _IOC_TYPECHECK
*
* check-error-start
* check-error-end
*/
====== ioc-typecheck.c ======
Running sparse over this gives:
error: bad integer constant expression
