Subject: Re: [patch 07/26] Add INIT_ARRAY() to kernel.h (updated)
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 15:54:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080124205434.GC31333@Krystal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0801242137020.12676@fbirervta.pbzchgretzou.qr>
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);
Changelog :
- [len] -> []
- Remove whitespaces.
- Fixed Jan's suggestion which was not checkpatch.pl-safe.
