Such variable is initialized before being used, on every execution path throughout the function. The static has no benefit and, removing it reduces the code size. This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch: @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; In the following log you can see the difference in the code size. Also, there is a significant difference in the bss segment. This log is the output of the size command, before and after the code change: before: text data bss dec hex filename 27765 5656 320 33741 83cd drivers/media/i2c/s5k5baf.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 27733 5600 256 33589 8335 drivers/media/i2c/s5k5baf.o Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
