[PATCH v1 12/19] ACPICA: Introduce ACPI_NONSTRING

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

 



From: Kees Cook <kees@xxxxxxxxxx>

ACPICA commit 878823ca20f1987cba0c9d4c1056be0d117ea4fe

In order to distinguish character arrays from C Strings (i.e. strings with
a terminating NUL character), add support for the "nonstring" attribute
provided by GCC. (A better name might be "ACPI_NONCSTRING", but that's
the attribute name, so stick to the existing naming convention.)

GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization will warn about truncation
of the NUL byte for string initializers unless the destination is marked
with "nonstring". Prepare for applying this attribute to the project.
