From 9490991482a2091a828d997adbc088e24c310a4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:49:17 -0700 Subject: Add unitialized_var() macro for suppressing gcc warnings Introduce a macro for suppressing gcc from generating a warning about a probable uninitialized state of a variable. Example: - spinlock_t *ptl; + spinlock_t *uninitialized_var(ptl); Not a happy solution, but those warnings are obnoxious. - Using the usual pointlessly-set-it-to-zero approach wastes several bytes of text. - Using a macro means we can (hopefully) do something else if gcc changes cause the `x = x' hack to stop working - Using a macro means that people who are worried about hiding true bugs can easily turn it off.

This is especially important when code is changed from a fixed array to a pointer. I assume the Intel compiler doesn't support __builtin_types_compatible_p.
