compiler.h: fix error in BUILD_BUG_ON() reporting
compiletime_assert() uses __LINE__ to create a unique function name. This means that if you have more than one BUILD_BUG_ON() in the same source line (which can happen if they appear e.g. in a macro), then the error message from the compiler might output the wrong condition. For this source file: #include <linux/build_bug.h> #define macro() \ BUILD_BUG_ON(1); \ BUILD_BUG_ON(0); void foo() { macro(); } gcc would output: ./include/linux/compiler.h:350:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_9' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: 0 _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__) However, it was not the BUILD_BUG_ON(0) that failed, so it should say 1 instead of 0. With this patch, we use __COUNTER__ instead of __LINE__, so each BUILD_BUG_ON() gets a different function name and the correct condition is printed: ./include/linux/compiler.h:350:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_0' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: 1 _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__) Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Santos <daniel.santos@pobox.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Cc: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200331112637.25047-1-vegard.nossum@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
