Harder to do than you might think - it has to deal with the fact that 2.6.N might have a warning about 'used unintialized on line 430', and in 2.6.N+1 you get two warnings, one on line 420 and one on 440. Which one is new and which one just moved 10 lines up or down? Or did a patch fix the one on 430 and add 2 new ones? --==_Exmh_1162327980_3142P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFFR7escC3lWbTT17ARAiwMAJ4g4ykd8dXsQi6udiYCVFlTrHVcJACdH8lE N5O6OfQWD5lxF260agLj9NI= =g/jf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1162327980_3142P-- - 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/
