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

 



From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>

ACPICA commit 0787fda3b224a78369e26ac6046658beb2b64c12

Clarify error when an attempt is made to evaluate things like
devices, events, etc. -- these objects have no data and cannot
be "evaluated".
