Hi,
When -Wextra is used, gcc emits many warnings about an empty 'if' or
'else' body, like this:
../fs/posix_acl.c: In function ‘get_acl’:
../fs/posix_acl.c:127:22: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’
statement [-Wempty-body]
/* fall through */ ;
^
To quieten these warnings, add a new macro "do_empty()".
I originally wanted to use do_nothing(), but that's already in use.
It would sorta be nice if "fallthrough" could be coerced for this
instead of using something like do_empty().
Or should we just use "{}" in place of ";"?
This causes some odd coding style issue IMO. E.g., see this change:
original:
if (cmpxchg(p, ACL_NOT_CACHED, sentinel) != ACL_NOT_CACHED)
/* fall through */ ;
with new macro:
if (cmpxchg(p, ACL_NOT_CACHED, sentinel) != ACL_NOT_CACHED)
do_empty(); /* fall through */
using {}:
if (cmpxchg(p, ACL_NOT_CACHED, sentinel) != ACL_NOT_CACHED)
{} /* fall through */
or
{ /* fall through */ }
or even
if (cmpxchg(p, ACL_NOT_CACHED, sentinel) != ACL_NOT_CACHED) {
/* fall through */ }
or
if (cmpxchg(p, ACL_NOT_CACHED, sentinel) != ACL_NOT_CACHED) {
} /* fall through */
