Perhaps your patch changes that calculus, dunno. Please discuss. This isn't about introducing "CONFIG_BUG=n" - this is about making a kernel with CONFIG_BUG=n build without producing tonnes and tonnes of warnings, as it does today. It makes building randconfig pretty useless to find what could be more important warnings. For example, this is a small extract from one such build log that randconfig decided to set CONFIG_BUG to n: fs/ext4/extents.c: In function 'ext4_inode_journal_mode': fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h:415:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c: In function 'ext4_inode_journal_mode': fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h:415:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/mballoc.c: In function 'ext4_inode_journal_mode': fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h:415:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/move_extent.c: In function 'ext4_inode_journal_mode': fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h:415:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/indirect.c: In function 'ext4_inode_journal_mode': fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h:415:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/inline.c: In function 'ext4_inode_journal_mode': fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h:415:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/acl.c: In function 'acl_by_type': include/linux/posix_acl.h:108:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/acl.c: In function 'ext4_get_acl': fs/ext4/acl.c:150:6: warning: 'name_index' may be used uninitialized in this funtion -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
