From 40f4b1f031a71dcf111f64a3c20ee0361b96d862 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 22:10:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iio: hid-sensor-accel-3d: Drop unnecessary static Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before use, on every possible execution path through the function. The static has no benefit, and dropping it reduces the code size. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @bad exists@ position p; identifier x; type T; @@ static T x@p; ... x = <+...x...+> @@ identifier x; expression e; type T; position p != bad.p; @@ -static T x@p; ... when != x when strict ?x = e; // The change in code size is indicates by the following output from the size command. before: text data bss dec hex filename 3879 512 8 4399 112f drivers/iio/accel/hid-sensor-accel-3d.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 3863 512 0 4375 1117 drivers/iio/accel/hid-sensor-accel-3d.o Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron --- drivers/iio/accel/hid-sensor-accel-3d.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/accel/hid-sensor-accel-3d.c b/drivers/iio/accel/hid-sensor-accel-3d.c index 43a6cb078193..2238a26aba63 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/accel/hid-sensor-accel-3d.c +++ b/drivers/iio/accel/hid-sensor-accel-3d.c @@ -347,7 +347,7 @@ static int accel_3d_parse_report(struct platform_device *pdev, static int hid_accel_3d_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) { int ret = 0; - static const char *name; + const char *name; struct iio_dev *indio_dev; struct accel_3d_state *accel_state; const struct iio_chan_spec *channel_spec; -- 2.11.0
