When emerging alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc2
using gcc 3.4.3 as compiler,
I got the following error:

Previous versions of alsa driver don't work either.
Tried 1.0.8 rc1 and 1.0.7, neither will compile. The errors are varied.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge  alsa-driver
2.
3.

Actual Results:

Compile cleanly

kernel 2.6.10

[Comment 1 Emil Beinroth 2005-01-13 12:37:17 UTC]

Created attachment 48421 [details, diff]
replace inlined free_firmware by a macro

The inlined function free_firmware is using a function from the kernel-source
..
looks like this isn't possible with the new gcc.
Since free_firmware is just 2 lines long it should be easily replaced by a
macro.

[Comment 2 Eric Shattow 2005-03-06 11:15:14 UTC]

IIRC 'static inline' functions are invalid (and always have been?)

[Comment 3 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2005-05-13 21:22:23 UTC]

Newest alsa-driver in ~x86, 1.0.9_rc3, works with GCC 3.4.
