With emacs, you have to iterate over each location. That is, with my devname example, I had to hit M^. then Ctrl^U M^. another 12 times before I got to the function name. It makes it absolutely worthless, that after two or three misses, I give up and just grep for it. I don't think there's a single emacs users that would not like this change. Thus, I'll make it for emacs only, and I think that will be a good compromise. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
