I'm seeing this, too. Also for sh7785lcr_defconfig.

I'm not seeing this one, but I am getting this one instead:

The easiest fix for the latter is to disable CONFIG_WERROR.
Unfortunately I don't know a simple solution to get rid of the warning.

I did some research and it seems that what the macro _INT_ARRAY() does with "sizeof(a)/sizeof(*a)"
is a commonly used way to calculate array sizes and the kernel has even its own macro for that
called ARRAY_SIZE() which Linus asks people to use here [1].

So, I replaced _INTC_ARRAY() with ARRAY_SIZE() (see below), however the kernel's own ARRAY_SIZE()
macro triggers the same compiler warning. I'm CC'ing Michael Karcher who has more knowledge on
writing proper C code than me and maybe an idea how to fix this warning.

Thanks,
Adrian

The issue is that some of the parameters are not arrays, but
NULL. E.g.:

arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh2/setup-sh7619.c:static
DECLARE_INTC_DESC(intc_desc, "sh7619", vectors, NULL,
arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh2/setup-sh7619.c-                   NULL,
prio_registers, NULL);

Isn't this supposed to be caught by this check:

	a, __same_type(a, NULL)

?

Yeah, but gcc thinks it is smarter than us...
Probably it drops the test, assuming UB cannot happen.

Hmm, sounds like a GGC bug to me then. Not sure how to fix this then.

I don't see a clear bug at this point. We are talking about the C expression

   __same_type((void*)0, (void*)0)? 0 : sizeof((void*)0)/sizeof(*((void*0))

This expression is valid (assuming __same_type works, which is a GCC 
extension), and should return 0. As of now, I have no indication that 
this expression does not return 0. Also, it is true that this expression 
contains the suspicious pattern "sizeof(void*)/sizeof(void)", which is 
does not calculate the size of any array. GCC is free to emit as much 
warnings is it wants for any kind of expressions. From a C standard 
point of view, it's just a "quality of implementation" issue, and an 
implementation that emits useless warnings is of low quality, but not 
non-conforming.

In this case, we requested that gcc refuses to compile if it emits any 
kind of warning, which instructs gcc to reject programs that would be 
valid according to the C standard, but are deemed to be "likely incorrect".

I suggest to file a bug against gcc complaining about a "spurious 
warning", and using "-Werror -Wno-error-sizeof-pointer-div" until gcc is 
adapted to not emit the warning about the pointer division if the result 
is not used.

   Michael Karcher

*(void*) is type "void" which does not have a size.

The problem is gcc "optimizing out" an earlier type check, the same way it
"optimizes out" checks for signed integer math overflowing, or "optimizes out" a
comparison to pointers from two different local variables from different
function calls trying to calculate the amount of stack used, or "optimizes out"
using char *x = (char *)1; as a flag value and then doing "if (!(x-1)) because
it can "never happen"...

Remember when gcc got rewritten in c++ starting in 2007?

Historically the main marketing push of C++ was that it contains the whole of C
and therefore MUST be just as good a language, the same way a mud pie contains
an entire glass of water and therefore MUST be just as good a beverage. Anything
C can do that C++ _can't_ do is seen as an existential threat by C++ developers.
They've worked dilligently to "fix" C not being a giant pile of "undefined
behavior" the way C++ is for 15 years now.

I have... opinions on this.

(__same_type is a kernel macro, it expands to something with
__builtin_compatible_type()).

It has size 1, in GCC, so that you can do arithmetic on pointers to
void.  This is a long-standing and very widely used GCC extension.

"""
6.24 Arithmetic on 'void'- and Function-Pointers
================================================

In GNU C, addition and subtraction operations are supported on pointers
to 'void' and on pointers to functions.  This is done by treating the
size of a 'void' or of a function as 1.

 A consequence of this is that 'sizeof' is also allowed on 'void' and on
function types, and returns 1.

 The option '-Wpointer-arith' requests a warning if these extensions are
used.

Are you saying something in the kernel code here is invalid code?
Because your other examples are.

Like here.  And no, this is not allowed by -fno-strict-aliasing.

Yeah.  If the first operand of a conditional operator is non-zero, the
second operand is not evaluated, and if the first is zero, the third
operand is not evaluated.  It is better if we do not warn about
something we do not evaluate.  In cases like here where it is clear at
compile time which branch is taken, that shouldn't be too hard.

Can someone please file a GCC PR?  With reduced testcase preferably.

It's not a bug.
All the operands of the conditional operator have to be valid.
It might be that the optimiser can discard one, but that happens
much later on.
Even the operands of choose_expr() have to be valid - but can
have different types.

I'm not sure what the code is trying to do or why it is failing.
Was it a fail in userspace - where the option to allow sizeof (void)
isn't allowed.

FWIW you can check for a compile-time NULL (or 0) with:
#define is_null(x) (sizeof *(0 : (void *)(x) ? (int *)0) != 1)

Although that is a compile-time error for non-NULL unless
'void *' arithmetic is allowed.

Could you post a kernel patch for that? I would be happy to test it on my
SH-7785CLR board. Also, I'm going to file a bug report against GCC.

I used the following variant and it fixes the issue for me:

diff --git a/arch/sh/Makefile b/arch/sh/Makefile

If you agree, can you post a patch to LKML so we can unbreak the SH build for CONFIG_WERROR?

Can you take a look at fixing the DML stack size here up?
