To: kernelnewbies
why does calling pr_debug() with more than one argument cause a sparse
warning?
drivers/mmc/core/sdio_io.c:70:9: error: unknown field name in initializer
sdio_io.c:70:
pr_debug("SDIO: Enabling device %s...\n", sdio_func_id(func));
What can we do about this?
thanks,
Tobin.

'sdio_func_id()' is a macro defined here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h?id=refs/tags/v4.11-rc2 #define sdio_func_id(f) (dev_name(&(f)->dev)) The 'func' parameter passed into 'sdio_func_id()' is a pointer to 'struct device dev', which is a member of 'struct sdio_func' defined here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h?id=refs/tags/v4.11-rc2 Based on my understanding of the error message you got, the error must lie in code that initialises 'func' to a field name of a struct that isn't known at compile time. At this stage, I'm not sure how to identify the code where the faulty initialisation takes place. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

I fear I may have sent you both on a wild goose chase with the example that I chose. pr_debug() causes a sparse warning in many instances when the format string includes format specifiers. /* this is fine */ pr_debug("some info string"); /* this often causes Sparse warning */ pr_debug("string with specifier: %d", foo); A simple example can be seen by adding this function void foo(const char *baz) { pr_debug("cause Sparse warning - %s\n", baz); } To a random driver, and running `make C=2 M=drivers/staging/ks7010` drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_hostif.c:2702:9: error: unknown field name in initializer For more examples from the kernel tree, running: $ make -j9 C=2 M=drivers/staging 2>sparse.out gives many such cases, for example: drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-core.c:472:17: error: unknown field name in initialize drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/radio-bcm2048.c:2596:17: error: unknown field name in initializer drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_tty.c:1274:17: error: unknown field name in initializer Also dev_debug causes the same sparse warning at times, for example: drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c:352:17: error: unknown field name in initialize if (s->busy) { dev_dbg(dev->class_dev, "subdevice is busy, cannot resize buffer\n"); return -EBUSY; } And 2 more example instances of dev_debug: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/das16.c:578:25: error: unknown field name in initialize drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_tty.c:1274:17: error: unknown field name in initializer thanks, Tobin. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

The pr_debug() manpage, https://www.kernel.org/doc/local/pr_debug.txt, states that: Some files call pr_debug(), which is ordinarily an empty macro that discards its arguments at compile time. To enable debugging output, build the appropriate file with -DDEBUG by adding CFLAGS_[filename].o := -DDEBUG to the makefile. You did not mention whether you have compiling those modules with the DEBUG flag enabled, so, perhaps if you didn't, that could be the reason why you've been getting those errors. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
