Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:44:45 +0300 From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...nel.org> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [2.6.27 patch] #error for gcc 4.1.{0,1} gcc 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 are known to miscompile the kernel: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27781 Usage of weak functions has become a common pattern in the kernel, and usages get added in each kernel version increasing the probability of bugs with each kernel release. This miscompilation of weak functions can result in subtle runtime errors. #error for gcc 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 to prevent users from running into this bug. Note: We already printed a #warning for gcc 4.1.0 due to a different bug.
