Can I submit simple patches like this to the primary ML?

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

 



This is a simple patch that initializes a function with NULL to avoid some
compiler warnings. In such cases should I proceed as a normal patch or it is
better to send to another ML like to one for trivial patches?

Thanks,

Explicit initializes do_reloc function with NULL. Later the function is
either proper initialized of an error issued.
