- * The implementation uses gcc's reluctance to create a negative array, but gcc

* BUILD_BUG - break compile if used.
The kernel can only be compiled with an optimization option (-O2, -Os, or the currently proposed -Og). Hence, __OPTIMIZE__ is always defined in the kernel source. The fallback for -O0 case is just hypothetical and pointless. Moreover, commit 0bb95f80a38f ("Makefile: Globally enable VLA warning") enabled -Wvla warning. The use of variable length arrays is banned.
