From 6cf4ecf5c51d735433b3348ad055187536b1b4b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasily Gorbik Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2020 14:25:23 +0200 Subject: perf build: Allow nested externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage Currently BUILD_BUG() macro is expanded to smth like the following: do { extern void __compiletime_assert_0(void) __attribute__((error("BUILD_BUG failed"))); if (!(!(1))) __compiletime_assert_0(); } while (0); If used in a function body this obviously would produce build errors with -Wnested-externs and -Werror. To enable BUILD_BUG() usage in tools/arch/x86/lib/insn.c which perf includes in intel-pt-decoder, build perf without -Wnested-externs.
