I have a doubt though, Can't we use a single expression separated by "|" here, instead of multiple lines? i.e., $x =~ s/__packed|__aligned|____cacheline_aligned_in_smp|____cacheline_aligned|__attribute__\s*\(\([a-z0-9,_\s\(\)]*\)\)\s*//; Probably we could do something similar for dump_function, i.e., - $prototype =~ s/^static +//; - $prototype =~ s/^extern +//; - $prototype =~ s/^asmlinkage +//; - $prototype =~ s/^inline +//; - $prototype =~ s/^__inline__ +//; - $prototype =~ s/^__inline +//; - $prototype =~ s/^__always_inline +//; - $prototype =~ s/^noinline +//; + $prototype =~ s/^(?:static|extern|asmlinkage|__?inline__?|__always_inline|noinline) +//; And so on for other regexps. What do you think? Thanks Aditya
