e.g., linux kernel source code: init/do_mounts.c, line 23 is: int __initdata rd_doload; and sparse (snapshot of 2007-08-31) says: init/do_mounts.c:23:16: warning: symbol 'rd_doload' was not declared. Should it be static? thanks, -- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
