[PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] selftests/bpf: Fix "expression result unused" warnings with icecc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



icecc is a compiler wrapper that distributes compile jobs over a build
farm [1]. It works by sending toolchain binaries and preprocessed
source code to remote machines.

Unfortunately using it with BPF selftests causes build failures due to
a clang bug [2]. The problem is that clang suppresses the
-Wunused-value warning if the unused expression comes from a macro
expansion. Since icecc compiles preprocessed source code, this
information is not available. This leads to -Wunused-value false
positives.

arena_spin_lock_slowpath() uses two macros that produce values and
ignores the results. Add (void) cast to explicitly indicate that this
is intentional and suppress the warning.

An alternative solution is to change the macros to not produce values.
This would work today, but in the future there may appear users who
need them. Another potential solution is to replace these macros with
functions. Unfortunately this would not work, because these macros
work with unknown types and control flow.
