Subject: lots of code could be simplified by using ARRAY_SIZE()
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 14:58:33 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0612131450270.5979@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
there are numerous places throughout the source tree that apparently
calculate the size of an array using the construct
"sizeof(fubar)/sizeof(fubar[0])". see for yourself:
$ grep -Er "sizeof\((.*)\) ?/ ?sizeof\(\1\[0\]\)" *
but we already have, from "include/linux/kernel.h":
#define ARRAY_SIZE(x) (sizeof(x) / sizeof((x)[0]))
a simple script to make the appropriate cleanup, given the directory
name as an argument:
================== cut ================
#!/bin/sh
DIR=$1
for f in $(grep -Erl "sizeof\((.*)\) ?/ ?sizeof\(\1\[0\]\)" ${DIR}) ;
do
echo "Fixing $f ..."
perl -pi -e "s|sizeof\((.*)\) ?/ ?sizeof\(\1\[0\]\)|ARRAY_SIZE\(\1\)|" $f
done
=======================================
of course, the file must (eventually) include linux/kernel.h but one
would think that applies to the majority of the source tree, no?
just a thought.
