From 843f517667845595694aec4d52fd4f6bd4c1a20f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chancellor Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2020 20:10:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib/dynamic_debug.c: use address-of operator on section symbols commit 8306b057a85ec07482da5d4b99d5c0b47af69be1 upstream. Clang warns: ../lib/dynamic_debug.c:1034:24: warning: array comparison always evaluates to false [-Wtautological-compare] if (__start___verbose == __stop___verbose) { ^ 1 warning generated. These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and does not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld or gcc/ld (tested with diff + objdump -Dr).
