Bug #7043
closedEMG generates a parameter with incompatible type
0%
Description
EMG generates a parameter of an incompatible type for a callback. This causes Weaver termination.
Drivers to reproduce:- 'drivers/staging/iio/accel/adis16220.ko';
- 'drivers/misc/ds1682.ko'.

The problem caused by providing variables with structure type with unknown structure name as a parameter which is expected to be provided as a typedef (which is the same structure actually). Seems that EMG should resolve such structure types back to typedefs and generate variables with the typedef names before providing them as parameters.
The issue does not happen often, so decreasing the priority to normal.

What is a problem here? Why struct name is nor suitable, while typedef to it is ok?

Cannot say exactly, Weaver (cif) fails and says that parameter has an incompatible type. At the same type expected typedef hides the same type which is used for the parameter by EMG. Maybe this is a strange behaviour of CIF or it is the case for structures without a name.

Those 21 drivers use incomplete types.

It seems that the branch was merged to master a long ago, but issues were not closed at that time.
