Subject: [PATCH] read-cache.c: fix a sparse warning
Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2018 00:29:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c92b2f25-315d-141b-8974-dd05d7fd2b9e@ramsayjones.plus.com> (raw)


At one time, the POSIX standard required the type used to represent
a thread handle (pthread_t) be an arithmetic type. This is no longer
the case, probably because different platforms used to regularly
ignore that requirement.  For example, on cygwin a pthread_t is a
pointer to a structure (a quite common choice), whereas on Linux it
is defined as an 'unsigned long int'.

On cygwin, but not on Linux, 'sparse' currently complains about an
initialiser used on a 'struct load_index_extensions' variable, whose
first field may be a pthread handle (if not compiled with NO_PTHREADS
set).

In order to fix the warning, move the (conditional) pthread field to
the end of the struct and change the initialiser to use a NULL, since
the new (unconditional) first field is a pointer type.

Hi Ben,

If you need to re-roll your 'bp/read-cache-parallel' branch, could you
please squash this into the relevant patch (commit a090af334,
"read-cache: load cache extensions on a worker thread", 2018-09-12).

Thanks.

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
