Linux drivers are one of the few places where I support GCC-isms; the drivers must be compiled with GCC. And this is one of the few syntax extensions that is required. Using the "element: init," initialization is the only compatible syntax. One GCC-isms that I never use is "//" as a comment in C code (it's never required), and I avoid whole-structure initializers and dynamically sized arrays for stack automatics. -- Donald Becker becker@scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
