in the kernel, there are a lot of usages of __FILE__ this means that there are a lot of copies of fully rooted paths, including all the varying ~/src/linux prefixes used by individual builders. Id hazard a guess that something like __RELPATH_FILE__ would work in many cases and perhaps even be more readable (by reducing long strings) in the generated output Do the macros exist to cobble this together for compile-time ? Does it warrant a short name ? either to wrap __FILE__ uses or replace them ? _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
