about ppc <asm/string.h>

about ppc <asm/string.h>

[HappyPhot]

Hi,

  Under linux kernel, the file /include/linux/string.h will include 
<asm/string.h>.
  But I didn't found "string.h" under "asm-ppc", my asm is link to asm-ppc
(CPU is ppc). This makes me compile some code failed.
  (kernel version 2.6.x)

  Anybody knows about this ? Why there is no string.h under "asm-ppc" 
directory.

thanks a lot,
/Phot

Hi!

There's no string.h in include/asm-ppc because this is one of the  
header files that has been merged between 32 and 64-bit powerpc.  It  
now lives in include/asm-powerpc with all the other merged headers.  
Only headers specific to 32-bit ppc have been left in include/asm- 
ppc.  For a kernel build with ARCH=ppc, the build uses headers from  
both include/asm-ppc and include/asm-powerpc.  This is accomplished  
through the use of a temporary include directory that is created in  
the arch dir.  Check out arch/ppc/Makefile for details.

Cheers,
-Becky
