Subject: mips: math-emu: Fix compilation error ieee754.c


ieee754dp has bitfield member in struct without name. And this
cause compilation error. This patch removes struct in ieee754dp
declaration. So compilation error is fixed.

What gcc version are you using?

make arch/mips/math-emu/ieee754.o for mips defconfig triggers the
following on linux-next 30 times:

I'm using gcc 4.5.1 for mips. The patch makes all members part of the
union so it's probably not what you want to fix it, though.

There's more recent breakage like this, e.g.:

mm/page_io.c: In function '__swap_writepage':
mm/page_io.c:277: error: unknown field 'bvec' specified in initializer
mm/page_io.c:278: warning: excess elements in struct initializer
mm/page_io.c:278: warning: (near initialization for 'from')

introduced with "bio_vec-backed iov_iter" (GCC 4.1.2 here). We still in
principle support GCC versions back to 3.2:

$ grep 'Gnu C' Documentation/Changes
o Gnu C 3.2 # gcc --version
$

so either this breakage has to be cleaned up or the requirement for the
minimum GCC version revisited.

This is a semi-standard language extension BTW, citing from the GCC
manual:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Extensions to the C Language Family
*************************************

GNU C provides several language features not found in ISO standard C.
(The `-pedantic' option directs GCC to print a warning message if any
of these features is used.) To test for the availability of these
features in conditional compilation, check for a predefined macro
`__GNUC__', which is always defined under GCC.

6.59 Unnamed struct/union fields within structs/unions
======================================================

As permitted by ISO C11 and for compatibility with other compilers, GCC
allows you to define a structure or union that contains, as fields,
structures and unions without names.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- note the term "permitted" rather than "required".

We do make use of a few GCC language extensions, most notably inline
assembly, however in this case we merely save a couple of characters here
and there and this is IMO not worth breaking people's development
environments.
