    compiler.h: avoid sparse errors in __compiletime_error_fallback() · 2c0d259e
    James Hogan 提交于
    Usually, BUG_ON and friends aren't even evaluated in sparse, but recently
    compiletime_assert_atomic_type() was added, and that now results in a
    sparse warning every time it is used.
    
    The reason turns out to be the temporary variable, after it sparse no
    longer considers the value to be a constant, and results in a warning and
    an error.  The error is the more annoying part of this as it suppresses
    any further warnings in the same file, hiding other problems.
    
    Unfortunately the condition cannot be simply expanded out to avoid the
    temporary variable since it breaks compiletime_assert on old versions of
    GCC such as GCC 4.2.4 which the latest metag compiler is based on.
    
    Therefore #ifndef __CHECKER__ out the __compiletime_error_fallback which
    uses the potentially negative size array to trigger a conditional compiler
    error, so that sparse doesn't see it.
