I don't like that. It means the user can't invoke sparse directly. > > or is it easier to teach sparse about the architecture stuff? First of all. It is not very trivial to teach sparse about the architecture stuff. To my mind, we need to move all the cgcc logic into sparse. For this case, I think it is easier to teach the sparse validation code to use cgcc on those back end testing. Most validation don't need to include system header file at all so it does not have this problem. How about this patch? I know my patch is white space damaged in email. Git branch is at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git/log/?h=llvm-cgcc Please let me know if that fix your problem. It pass check on my local machine running x86_64. I don't have ppc64 to test with.
