We may also want a user-asm symlink pointing to user-$ARCH. If <linux/foo.h> wants a definition from <user-$ARCH/foo.h> then it has to include <asm/foo.h> which includes <user-$ARCH/foo.h>. If asm/foo.h is empty other than the include, then it'd be nice to delete it and have <linux/foo.h> include <user-asm/foo.h> directly. > (c) Where a user header file requires something from another header file > (such as a type), that file should include a suitable user header file > directly: > > [include/user-i386/termio.h] > ... > #include <user/types.h> > ... It's occasionally been on my mind that the transition from linux -> asm should be one way and that asm files should not include linux files. I'm not sure this is necessarily a worthy goal, but it seems worth mentioning. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
