Subject: Alpha: replacing "extern inline"
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 01:54:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060820235438.GY7813@stusta.de> (raw)
I want to get rid of all "extern inline" in the kernel.
Why?
"extern inline" generates a warning with -Wmissing-prototypes and I'm
currently working on getting the kernel cleaned up for adding this to
the CFLAGS since it will help us to avoid a nasty class of runtime
errors.
"extern inline" was required at the times when
__attribute__((always_inline)) wasn't avalable.
Nowadays, we use "static inline", and if there are places that really
need a forced inline, we use "static __always_inline".
Can someone tell me which of the Alpha "static inline"'s need for some
reason an __always_inline?
And a related question:
Does the never defined __IO_EXTERN_INLINE still have any purpose?
