Hi all,
When i read the kernel codes, i always find the code comments with
/* XXX ..... */. The 'XXX' turns to be colourful. It is with croci.
I don't know the meaning of 'XXX'? Can anyone tell me?
Thanks in advance
Harry Wei

It is just a marker that there's still some work to do, like
FIXME, TODO, and HERE. Normally you set this marker
to be able to find all those places easily by a simple search.
The marker should at least be accompanied by an explanatory
text.

Hmmm.., i see. In this way, we can help to finish the jobs which
have not been accomplished.
Thanks
