The first two patches are cleanups for things that popped up in the

The third patch is the one fixing the BZ.

For 1 and 2,
Reviewed-by: Leif Lindholm <leif.lindholm@linaro.org>

For 3, I see no issue with it, but I do feel tempted by Phil's input
of using explicit macros (obviating the need for specific comment).
I seem to recall back in the mists of time we considered something
similar. Vaguely. Am I misremembering, or did we disount that option?

Leif

Yes, I remember similarly.

Phil's current recommendation is what I would have preferred back then,
but it was rejected, as far as I recall. If I remember correctly, most
developers preferred naked NULLs / zeroes. I insisted on the comment as
a fallback / compromise, so that we'd have at least some visual cue.

I could be mis-remembering; we can restart that discussion if now the
macros are preferred.

I'm not even sure I wasn't one of the people opposed to it then.
But if I was, I would appear to have changed my mind.

I would be all for that.
However, I see no reason why we shouldn't document the current process
in the meantime, so for 3/3 also:

If my 2 cents are worth anything, that'd be preferred by some folks in
my team too. Although something shorter like "UNINITIALIZED_INT/PTR"
would be nicer, IMO. Both work of course.

Thanks everyone for the feedback thus far on this series. It looks like
I could go ahead and push the patches, minimally for bringing the CCSS
in closer sync with reality -- and then we could improve incrementally,
for example with macros.

But, before I push the set, I'd really like hear Mike's opinion too -- I
vaguely recall he was active in the original discussion. I wouldn't like
to back out the patches in case Mike rejected them retroactively.

I believe Mike will have a bit of an email backlog to process ;) so I'll
wait some more in this thread.

Thanks!

I also agree that the macros would be cleaner, easy to review, and
and fewer lines of code without the comment block.  If I objected
previously, then I have also changed my mind.  I agree we can go
ahead and push the series in its current form and continue the
discussion on the macros.
