[PATCH] arm: replace typeof() with __typeof__()
Posted by Elliott Mitchell 3 years, 1 month ago
typeof() is available in Xen's build environment, which uses Xen's
compiler.  As these headers are public, they need strict standards
conformance.  Only __typeof__() is officially standardized.

A compiler in standards conformance mode should report:

warning: implicit declaration of function 'typeof' is invalid in C99
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

(this has been observed with FreeBSD's kernel build environment)

s!arm!xen/public! in the subject seeing as two thirds of the
modifications are in non-ARM headers.

Acked-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>

This wants backporting as a build fix, so should be considered for 4.15
at this point.

I wonder why our header checks don't pick this up.  Do we need to throw
a -pedantic around?

That's a long-standing issue with the checking: For issues to be
found in macros, the macros would actually need to be used.

Thanks! I have committed the patch now.

This is key since only the hunk for xen/include/public/arch-arm.h was
found during a build.  The other two hunks were found while preparing to
submit this to the Xen Project since I checked for other occurrences of
typeof().  Had I not spent the time to look, the other three uses might
have generated 2-3 additional patches in the future.

Also notable the ARM portion was originally found more than 5 years ago
(between 4.2 and 4.6), so this had been lurking for a long time.

Gah!  Crucial little detail missing when rewriting the subject line.
Julien Grall's original patch/commit only did ARM, but when I checked I
found the other two and I did them too.

This came up since FreeBSD's kernel build uses Clang with
-std=iso9899:1999.  When I found FreeBSD was simply copying Xen's headers
it was clear this needed to be *here*.
