It'd also be possible to make genksyms just a filter which takes the preprocessed input as a filter, generates the module symbol checksums and outputs the preprocessed code with the right versions added. OTOH, that'd mean that my trick of using the linker to add the checksums would become obsolete again, though it's sooo cute ;) --Kai - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
