Subject: what's the purpose of SYMBOL_NAME()
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 12:57:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200106141657.MAA09198@mailhost.eng.mc.xerox.com> (raw)
I'm read Bovet's "Understand the Linux Kernel"
and looked at the assembly routine setup_idt...
I noticed the assembly has SYMBOL_NAME
(its all over the place).
This is define in include/linux/linkage.h
to just:
#define SYMBOL_NAME(X) X
(this wasn't in Bovet's book).
What's the purpose?
