Subject: [PATCH] selftests:proc-empty-vm: Remove unused debug write callIn the function test_proc_pid_statm
Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2023 23:05:54 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231119050554.52096-1-angquan21@gmail.com> (raw)

From: angquan yu <angquan21@gmail.com>

In tools/testing/selftests/proc/proc-empty->because the return value of a write call was being ignored. This call was partof a conditional debugging block (if (0) { ... }), which meant it would neveractually execute.

This patch removes the unused debug write call. This cleanup resolves the compi>warning about ignoring the result of write declared with the warn_unused_resultattribute.

Removing this code also improves the clarity and maintainability ofthe function, as it eliminates a non-functional block of code.

This is original warning: proc-empty-vm.c: In function ‘test_proc_pid_statm’:proc-empty-vm.c:385:17: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’ declared with>385 |                 write(1, buf, rv);|
