Subject: [PATCH] scripts/unifdef: avoid constexpr keyword

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

Starting with c23, 'constexpr' is a keyword in C like in C++ and cannot
be used as an identifier:

scripts/unifdef.c:206:25: error: 'constexpr' can only be used in variable declarations
206 | static bool constexpr; /* constant #if expression */
| ^
scripts/unifdef.c:880:13: error: expected identifier or '('
880 | constexpr = false;
| ^

Rename this instance to allow changing to C23 at some point in the future.

Fixes: d8379ab1dde3 ("unifdef: update to upstream revision 1.190")

So it is! Can you please incorporate the fixup patch below? Other than
that, LGTM.

PS. I've been reviewing some other details of C23 recently. According to
the Editor's Report https://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3221.htm
the working draft that is closest to the official C23 Draft International
Standard is https://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3220.pdf
(There were significant changes and fixes even quite late in the process
so don't rely on earlier versions - I encoutered a bug when I did!)

This can be a problem only for future kernels.
Is it worth adding Fixes?

Even if the kernel bumps to C23 at some point,
such a patch will not be backported.
