As you mention, This is my bad for wrong plcae .. Sorry

Right, at the first write, I declare this with static.
But forgetting when changing more....

Thanks.

Thanks for catching this.
I'll change.

Not sure why we'd be including time.h here?

This is a non-static variable so won't have a defined default value...

Unrelated whitespace change.

...this will only set mtefar_support if the hwcap is present, leaving it

undefined if not.  If you just make this



        mtefar_support = hwcap3 & HWCAP3_MTE_FAR



that should avoid the issue.
