From c5e631cf65f4d6875efcd571275436f2964a8b48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:51:05 -0700 Subject: ARRAY_SIZE: check for type We can use a gcc extension to ensure that ARRAY_SIZE() is handed an array, not a pointer. This is especially important when code is changed from a fixed array to a pointer. I assume the Intel compiler doesn't support __builtin_types_compatible_p.
