[PATCH 09/11] UAPI: ndctl: Fix g++-unsupported initialisation in headers

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Sep 05 2018 - 11:55:42 EST


The following code in the linux/ndctl header file:

static inline const char *nvdimm_bus_cmd_name(unsigned cmd)
{
static const char * const names[] = {
[ND_CMD_ARS_CAP] = "ars_cap",
[ND_CMD_ARS_START] = "ars_start",
[ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS] = "ars_status",
[ND_CMD_CLEAR_ERROR] = "clear_error",
[ND_CMD_CALL] = "cmd_call",
};

if (cmd < ARRAY_SIZE(names) && names[cmd])
return names[cmd];
return "unknown";
}

is broken in a number of ways:

(1) ARRAY_SIZE() is not generally defined. Fix this by defining a label
in the enum that indicates the number of commands.

(2) g++ does not support "non-trivial" array initialisers fully yet. Fix
this by defining the missing intermediate values.

(3) Every file that calls this function will acquire a copy of names[].

The same goes for nvdimm_cmd_name().

A better way would be to remove these functions and their arrays from the
header entirely.
