Subject: [patch 04/24] Add INIT_ARRAY() to kernel.h
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:54:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071221015723.765639544@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071221015438.433195466@polymtl.ca

[-- Attachment #1: declare-array.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 968 bytes --]

Add initialization of an array, which needs brackets that would pollute kernel
code, to kernel.h. It is used to declare arguments passed as function parameters
such as:
text_poke(addr, INIT_ARRAY(unsigned char, 0xf0, len), len);
