[RFC PATCH 1/9] kernel.h: add do_empty() macro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add the do_empty() macro to silence gcc warnings about an empty body
following an "if" statement when -Wextra is used.

However, for debug printk calls that are being disabled, use either
no_printk() or pr_debug() [and optionally dynamic printk debugging]
instead.
