[PATCH v1 12/19] ACPICA: Introduce ACPI_NONSTRING
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Fri Apr 25 2025 - 15:35:33 EST
From: Kees Cook <kees@xxxxxxxxxx>
ACPICA commit 878823ca20f1987cba0c9d4c1056be0d117ea4fe
In order to distinguish character arrays from C Strings (i.e. strings with
a terminating NUL character), add support for the "nonstring" attribute
provided by GCC. (A better name might be "ACPI_NONCSTRING", but that's
the attribute name, so stick to the existing naming convention.)
GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization will warn about truncation
of the NUL byte for string initializers unless the destination is marked
with "nonstring". Prepare for applying this attribute to the project.
