objtool: Allow nested externs to enable BUILD_BUG()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently BUILD_BUG() macro is expanded to smth like the following:
   do {
           extern void __compiletime_assert_0(void)
                   __attribute__((error("BUILD_BUG failed")));
           if (!(!(1)))
                   __compiletime_assert_0();
   } while (0);

If used in a function body this obviously would produce build errors
with -Wnested-externs and -Werror.

Build objtool with -Wno-nested-externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage.
