tools/build: tweak unused value workaround
Clang has -Wself-assign enabled by default under -Wall, which always gets -Werror'ed on this file, causing sync-compare-and-swap to be disabled by default. The generally-accepted way to spell "this value is intentionally unused," is casting it to `void`. This is accepted by both GCC and Clang with -Wall enabled: https://godbolt.org/z/qqZ9r3 Signed-off-by: George Burgess IV <gbiv@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200414195638.156123-1-gbiv@google.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
