[PATCH] ath9k: initialize arrays at compile time

[PATCH] ath9k: initialize arrays at compile time

[trix]

From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

Early clearing of arrays with
memset(array, 0, size);
is equivilent to initializing the array in its decl with
array[size] = { 0 };

Since compile time is preferred over runtime,
convert the memsets to initializations.

This is true. (typo of equivalent btw)

But this is not.

These aren't static but are stack declarations so these can not
be "initialized at compile time".

Both are zeroed at runtime, perhaps with different instructions.
Sometimes with smaller code, sometimes larger.
Sometimes faster, sometimes not.

Anyway, I think the patch is good, but the commit description is not.

should this not be array[size] = { }; ?!

If I recall correctly { 0 } will only set the first element of the 
struct/array to 0 and leave random data in all others elements

An initializer always initializes the _whole_ object.

The subject is also wrong, all initializers are executed at run time
(automatic variables cannot be initialized at compile time).

No.  The patch is fine.

Though generally the newer code in the kernel uses

	type dec[size] = {};

to initialize stack arrays.

array stack declarations not using 0

$ git grep -P '^\t(?:\w++\s*){1,2}\[\s*\w+\s*\]\s*=\s*\{\s*\};' -- '*.c' | wc -l
213

array stack declarations using 0

$ git grep -P '^\t(?:\w++\s*){1,2}\[\s*\w+\s*\]\s*=\s*\{\s*0\s*\};' -- '*.c' | wc -l
776

Refer to the c standard section on initialization 6.7.8 subsections 19 and 21

19

The initialization shall occur in initializer list order, each initializer provided for a
particular subobject overriding any previously listed initializer for the same subobject
all subobjects that are not initialized explicitly shall be initialized implicitly the same as
objects that have static storage duration.

...

21

If there are fewer initializers in a brace-enclosed list than there are elements or members
of an aggregate, or fewer characters in a string literal used to initialize an array of known
size than there are elements in the array, the remainder of the aggregate shall be
initialized implicitly the same as objects that have static storage duration.

For a two dimensional array that needs to be {{0}} (or {}).
And, since there is only one definitions of 'coeff' it can
be static!
(Currently on 96 bytes - si not a real problem on-stack.)

Although I just failed to find the lock that stops
concurrent execution on multiple cpu.

Cf the discussion in the replies, please resubmit with empty
initialisers ({}), and fix up the commit message.

Joe,

Thanks for providing these sections for c reference !

I will update the commit log and replace { 0 } with { }
