Subject: Stupid luser question
Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 19:14:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200210011814.g91IEEY5007979@darkstar.example.net> (raw)
Just wondering, what is the purpose of the comment /* { */ which is found in various seemingly random places in the kernel:
# grep -F -r "/* { */" *
drivers/video/font_acorn_8x8.c:/* 7B */ 0x0C, 0x18, 0x18, 0x70, 0x18, 0x18, 0x0C, 0x00, /* { */
drivers/scsi/scsi_syms.c:#if defined(CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING) /* { */
drivers/scsi/scsi.c:#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING /* { */
drivers/scsi/scsi.c:#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#ifdef __KERNEL__ /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:#ifndef MPT_SCSI_USE_NEW_EH /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:#ifdef MPT_SCSI_USE_NEW_EH /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:#if 0 /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c:#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS /* { */
John.
