Replacing chunks of code with Macro-generated code?

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

 



Hi,

I'm currently doing some cleanup in drivers/staging/bcm. In the file

    drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c

there is a function (namingly DumpCmControlPacket()), which uses the
BCM_DEBUG_PRINT macro _a lot_. The first four parameters are the same
for _every_ usage of the macro, so there would be the possibility to
cover the usage of the BCM_DEBUG_PRINT macro with another macro which
sets the first parameters per default.

Something like

    BCM_DEBUG_ADAPTER_DUMP(str,args...) \
        do { BCM_DEBUG_PRINT(/*etc*/); } while(0)

would be possible. But is this good coding style in manner of kernel
style?

The current state is just WALL_OF_TEXT-like. If you scroll over the
file, there are 500 lines just macro after macro. So I guess it would
be worth cleaning it up.

What do you thing?
