Quirky/weird C code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everyone,
 
  I am sorry that I have to ask such a simple question, but there are
many constructs in the linux kernel source code that are weird looking
and difficult to understand, but I guess they are used to make code
more efficient.  I know some of the weird constructs are due to GCC
extensions, but there are a bunch of others(can't remember right now)
that are legal C code(but the type of code you won't typically
encounter).  I'm pretty adept at C, but I want to learn this other
tricky/quirky side of C coding[so I can read kernel source more
'fluently' ;)]
 
  Anyone know of good books on this? Or websites?
 
Any help is appreciated:-)
