gcc NULL strings passed from ternary operators in kernel modules

[Jeffrey Merkey]

interesting case with gcc.  The following code example:

printk("%s\n", (value & 1) "set": "clear");

will evaluate to NULL unless the ":" character has a space after
static string declaration.

this version

printk("%s\n", (value & 1) "set" : "clear");

works.

go figure.   Looks like gcc assumes this case is a C++ construct of
some sort and
evaluates it to NULL.
