[PATCH v2] Staging: nvec: Convert to_nvec_led from a macro to an inline function
Posted by Sumitra Sharma 1 year, 1 month ago
Convert to_nvec_led from a macro to a static inline function, to make the
relevant types apparent in the definition and to benefit from the type
checking performed by the compiler at call sites.

There is no need for a function, or a macro, for this, as it is only
used once.  Please just open-code it in the one place it is used
instead.

You need to compile test your changes.

Hi dan,

I am facing problems in creating modules and in compiling them.

Any help in this would be appreciated. Here is the link to the thread https://lore.kernel.org/outreachy/alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2303191336090.2867@hadrien/T/#t

Note that unless the code is under an ifdef for a module, you don't
specifically need the driver to be configured as for a module either.
Since you don't have the device, you aren't going to be able to test it
anyway.  So 'y' is fine.

If you're editing a .h file then you need to compile all the stuff which
includes it.  It's slightly complicated.  But if you're just editing a
.c file like here then what I do is I have use my Smatch script to try
compile it.

In Debian run:
apt-get install gcc make sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libdbd-sqlite3-perl libssl-dev libtry-tiny-perl
Or in Fedora run:
yum install gcc make sqlite3 sqlite-devel sqlite perl-DBD-SQLite openssl-devel perl-Try-Tiny

git clone https://github.com/error27/smatch.git
cd smatch
make

cd /path/to/kernel_src/
~/smatch/smatch_scripts/kchecker drivers/staging/nvec/nvec_paz00.c

Also I run Sparse on the file.
~/smatch/smatch_scripts/kchecker --sparse drivers/staging/nvec/nvec_paz00.c

When I'm patching a file, then I like to look at any other issues I
might want to fix and deal with that as well.

dan carpenter
