We also need to a find a better way to get rid of the inclusion of C source files. I understand why Dave did it, but it's been quite some time since those patches were committed - e.g. 7e75bc0f9006e995a0fa25f0a285addc3d5fd5cb - and no progress has been made to fix that up. Probably Clang's link-time optimization would help a lot on that, but Clang still needs quite some work to be usable for us, so we need something else. Any ideas ?
To me it always seemed like it's a bug in/lack of feature of Kbuild. Would making Kbuild allow building module from separate .o files be a problem? Also, at one point in time I had an idea of a framework in which each individual composite function would be a separate module. I haven't thought it through though so it's probably not such a great idea after all. ;) -- Best regards, _ _ .o. | Liege of Serenely Enlightened Majesty of o' \,=./ `o ..o | Computer Science, Michal "mina86" Nazarewicz (o o) ooo +-----<email/xmpp: mnazarewicz@xxxxxxxxxx>-----ooO--(_)--Ooo-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
