Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 777 Lines: 28 Hello all, The following files contain: #define STATIC static arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c arch/cris/boot/compressed/misc.c arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c arch/sh/boot/compressed/misc.c arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/misc.c drivers/net/irda/donauboe.c drivers/scsi/53c700.c drivers/scsi/NCR_D700.c drivers/scsi/advansys.c fs/xfs/linux/xfs_linux.h init/do_mounts.c Is this macro really needed (for some reason that escapes me), or can we remove this macro? It seems to serve as to 'hide' a common keyword.
