No, that's got to be unreachable() so that it works in all compilers,
(__builtin_unreachable is a gcc-4 ism).

It is also supported by clang.

OK, but it's not supported by gcc-3.  So gcc-3 would crap out seeing the
statement, which is why we have to wrapper it.
Sorry. I wasn't clear. It is not merely a gcc-4 ism; it is also 
supported by clang.


I'm not arguing it should be used. I understand (and agree with) your 
objection to its use since it isn't supported before gcc-4.



Got to say this still looks wrong.  If wrong_size_cmpxchg() cannot
return, the function should be annotated as such with __noreturn (like
panic()) so the unreachable() should be superfluous.

Okay. I can try that instead.

Great; This seems to work for me (but then my compiler doesn't see the
unreachable problem).

No, that's got to be unreachable() so that it works in all compilers,
(__builtin_unreachable is a gcc-4 ism).

It is also supported by clang.


Got to say this still looks wrong.  If wrong_size_cmpxchg() cannot
return, the function should be annotated as such with __noreturn (like
panic()) so the unreachable() should be superfluous.

Okay. I can try that instead.

Thanks,

Behan

  Fix uninitialized return code in default case in cmpxchg-local.h
 
  This patch fixes the code to prevent an uninitialized return value that is 
  detected
  when compiling with clang. The bug produces numerous warnings when 
  compiling the
  Linux kernel with clang.

OK, but it's not supported by gcc-3.  So gcc-3 would crap out seeing the
statement, which is why we have to wrapper it.

Great; This seems to work for me (but then my compiler doesn't see the
unreachable problem).
