Only works if the functions are "declared" everywhere; the stuff that's included in header files. A "definition" would be available at link time (except for inlined functions, in headers). Actual C functions. If indeed OF functions don't have declarations which are available on all platforms, that might be worth fixing to enable this approach to #ifdef elimination. - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
