Subject: regarding synchronization code
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 18:56:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTikhWVuL18zRcPTu2TcEQrv8Bpr4O0eafNsPgNjt@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I am encountering alot macros in the code. I did not understand what
those macro means.
Can anyone explain them and the use of them putting them like that.
"unlikely"
"always_inline" -- defined at the signature of the function.
"inline" -- I know inline keyword in compiler is used to place the
code in to the caller function at the time of compiler, but why
declared as macro
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Sri.
