Hi Johannes, I am unsure here, but I looked at Steven's commit removing it: 2c92ca849fcc6ee7d0c358e9959abc9f58661aea I was wondering if a variadic macro makes sense: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Variadic-Macros.html I don't know much about how they are used in kernel and searched the kernel's src and came across your commit here: 568db7fd27fad183d186742dc7ae6ca211ba51ff You introduced the IWL_FW_CHECK macro for the iwlwifi driver which seems to handle additional logging parameters well. Could we modify __assign_str to handle variadic inputs? For example: #define __assign_str(dst, ...) __assign_str_helper(dst, ##__VA_ARGS__) The helper function could resolve the assignment based on the count/context of the arguments. Fwiw, I am still familiarizing myself with kernel conventions and backport-related modifications so perhaps this is a no-go. Figured I'd share my thoughts since I have been running `gentree.py` again... -- regards, brian witte
