Tracking down the offending initializer was definitely a pain.
Compound literals with designated initializers would make this macro
(and a number of others) easier to understand and more type-safe:
#define IA_CSS_DEFAULT_ISP_MEM_PARAMS \
- { { { { 0, 0 } } } }
+ (struct ia_css_isp_param_host_segments) { \
+ .params = { { \
+ (struct ia_css_host_data) { \
+ .address = NULL, \
+ .size = 0 \
+ } \
+ } } \
+ }
Unfortunately this default value is one end of a chain of default values
used to initialize members of default values of enclosing structs where
the outermost values are used to initialize some static variables:
static enum ia_css_err
init_pipe_defaults(enum ia_css_pipe_mode mode,
struct ia_css_pipe *pipe,
bool copy_pipe)
{
static struct ia_css_pipe default_pipe = IA_CSS_DEFAULT_PIPE;
static struct ia_css_preview_settings prev = IA_CSS_DEFAULT_PREVIEW_SETTINGS;
static struct ia_css_capture_settings capt = IA_CSS_DEFAULT_CAPTURE_SETTINGS;
static struct ia_css_video_settings video = IA_CSS_DEFAULT_VIDEO_SETTINGS;
static struct ia_css_yuvpp_settings yuvpp = IA_CSS_DEFAULT_YUVPP_SETTINGS;
if (pipe == NULL) {
IA_CSS_ERROR("NULL pipe parameter");
return IA_CSS_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENTS;
}
/* Initialize pipe to pre-defined defaults */
*pipe = default_pipe;
/* TODO: JB should not be needed, but temporary backward reference */
switch (mode) {
case IA_CSS_PIPE_MODE_PREVIEW:
pipe->mode = IA_CSS_PIPE_ID_PREVIEW;
pipe->pipe_settings.preview = prev;
break;
case IA_CSS_PIPE_MODE_CAPTURE:
if (copy_pipe) {
pipe->mode = IA_CSS_PIPE_ID_COPY;
} else {
pipe->mode = IA_CSS_PIPE_ID_CAPTURE;
}
pipe->pipe_settings.capture = capt;
break;
case IA_CSS_PIPE_MODE_VIDEO:
pipe->mode = IA_CSS_PIPE_ID_VIDEO;
pipe->pipe_settings.video = video;
break;
case IA_CSS_PIPE_MODE_ACC:
pipe->mode = IA_CSS_PIPE_ID_ACC;
break;
case IA_CSS_PIPE_MODE_COPY:
pipe->mode = IA_CSS_PIPE_ID_CAPTURE;
break;
case IA_CSS_PIPE_MODE_YUVPP:
pipe->mode = IA_CSS_PIPE_ID_YUVPP;
pipe->pipe_settings.yuvpp = yuvpp;
break;
default:
return IA_CSS_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENTS;
}
return IA_CSS_SUCCESS;
}
and GCC's limited support for using compound literals to initialize
static variables doesn't stretch this far.
I'm not convinced, however, that those variables actually achieve very
much. If I change the code to assign the defaults directly, the problem
goes away:

Does this seem reasonable or am I barking up the wrong tree?
