[PATCH] sparc: Move va_end() before exit
Posted by liujing 1 year ago
This patch makes a minor adjustment by moving the va_end call before
exit. Since the exit() function terminates the program, any code
after exit(1) is unreachable thus notexecuted. Placing va_end before
exit ensures that the va_list is properly cleaned up.

Please use exit() rather than exit also here. As it is the calls you are
swapping order of and not an implementation perhaps phrase it "Call
va_end()..." or "Move va_end() call..." or something like that. Please
also indicate where this change is happening, not just in sparc.

Please also describe how you found this.
