(ie, use an alpanumeric code for each message, but preserve any formatting codes in each printk string) In the CE Linux Forum, we are always looking for ways to reduce kernel size. One way which we're using now eliminates all printks (which usually saves about 200k). However, it would be nice to be able to use minimal messages so that it was still possible to do debugging (using a lookup table for the messages if necessary), while still getting *some* size savings. If this is possible, I might take a look and actually provide the translation myself. (There are automatic size-reducing translations which don't hurt readability too much (like removing all the vowels), but it might be good to manually come up with the translations also.) Let me know what you think of this idea. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Electronics ============================= -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
