[PATCH v17 1/3] arch: provide better documentation for the arch-specific SA_* flags

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

 



Instead of documenting the arch-specific flag values in a comment at
the top where they may be easily overlooked, document them in comments
inline with the definitions in numerical order so that it is clear
why specific values must be chosen for new generic flags and to reduce
the likelihood of conflicts between generic and arch-specific flags.
