Description

The linker successfully process this issues, but it causes problems for static analysis tools with linking several files as far as the input files contain different generated field names for the same struct type name.

For CPAchecker it looks like

Error: Parsing failed (Cannot access field ldv_7819 in struct lockref in file btmrvl_debugfs_o_i in line 13373: ( * dentry ) . d_lockref . ldv_7819 (full line is return ( unsigned int ) ( * dentry ) . d_lockref . ldv_7819 . ldv_7818 . count;)) (EclipseCParser.buildCFA, SEVERE)
