| |
Hi,
I have a piece of code where I have two constants defined as follows:
static const unsigned long polling_interval_sec = 1; static const unsigned long polling_interval_ns = 0;
Now, it's clear to me that I want these two values to have the keywords const and static. I could use a #define here, but const static seemed cleaner to me.
When I run checkpatch.pl across this code, I get this error:
ERROR: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL.
I think the problem here is that another case is needed for "static const" that does allow 0.
What do you think?
Thanks for your consideration,
- Corey
