Description thakis 2012-06-29 14:36:35 UTC
A very recent clang says:

../../third_party/mesa/MesaLib/src/glsl/ir.h:992:18:error: assigning member variable to itself [-Werror,-Wself-assign-memvar]
      this->loop = loop;
                 ^

Here's the whole constructor:

   ir_loop_jump(jump_mode mode)
   {
      this->ir_type = ir_type_loop_jump;
      this->mode = mode;
      this->loop = loop;
   }

From what I can tell, that line can just be deleted.

    glsl: Remove unused ir_loop_jump::loop pointer.
    
    Commit 0c005bd7 intended to make ir_loop_jump::mode public, but also
    accidentally added a new pointer to the enclosing loop.  Furthermore, it
    tried to initialize the new field by adding "this->loop = loop;" to the
    constructor, but since there is no loop parameter, this only initialized
    the field to itself---so it will likely be a garbage pointer.
    
    A lot of code, such as lower_jumps, allocates new loop jumps without
    setting this field appropriately, so any uses would probably just crash.
    
    Thankfully, there were none, so we can just delete the field.
