UAPI: ndctl: Fix g++-unsupported initialisation in headers 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. (2) g++ does not support "non-trivial" array initialisers fully yet. (3) Every file that calls this function will acquire a copy of names[]. The same goes for nvdimm_cmd_name(). Fix all three by converting to a switch statement where each case returns a string. That way if cmd is a constant, the compiler can trivially reduce it and, if not, the compiler can use a shared lookup table if it thinks that is more efficient. A better way would be to remove these functions and their arrays from the header entirely. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
