Description
For the driver
linux-3.12-rc1.tar.xz 32_7a drivers/media/v4l2-core/videodev.ko ldv_main0_sequence_infinite_withcheck_stateful
CIF produces the code
static inline long unsigned int free_initmem_default(int poison)
{
char __init_begin[];
# 1350 "include/linux/mm.h"
char __init_end[];
# 1352 "include/linux/mm.h"
return free_reserved_area ( ( void *) & __init_begin , ( void *) & __init_end , poison ,
# 1353 "include/linux/mm.h"
( char *) "unused kernel" );
}
which leads to the error
include/linux/mm.h:1350:8: error: array size missing in ‘__init_begin’ include/linux/mm.h:1350:8: error: array size missing in ‘__init_end’
original code:
extern char __init_begin[], __init_end[];

- Status changed from New to Open
Turned out to be a compiler warning that is ignored by our main verifiers.

Now this issue occurs in the generated code
extern char __init_begin[];
extern char __init_end[];
static inline long unsigned int free_initmem_default(int poison)
{
char __init_begin[];
char __init_end[];
return free_reserved_area ( ( void *) & __init_begin , ( void *) & __init_end , poison ,
( char *) "unused kernel" );
}
The array without size can not be allocated on the stack

I didn't catch, where the issue was before?

As I can see with a fresh look it is the same issue as before.
GCC reports the error, but CIL and CPAchecker frontends skip the issue.
