Linus, please apply, Rusty. -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell. Name: Centralize token pasting and generation of unique IDs Author: Rusty Russell Status: Tested on 2.5.70-bk13 D: Add __cat(a,b) to implement token pasting to stringify.h. To D: generate unique names, __unique_id(stem) is implemented (it'd be D: nice to have a gcc extension to give a unique identifier). Change D: module.h to use them. --- trivial-2.5.74-bk4/include/linux/module.h.orig 2003-07-07 17:36:52.000000000 +1000 +++ trivial-2.5.74-bk4/include/linux/module.h 2003-07-07 17:36:52.000000000 +1000 @@ -55,10 +55,8 @@ unsigned long value); #ifdef MODULE -#define ___module_cat(a,b) __mod_ ## a ## b -#define __module_cat(a,b) ___module_cat(a,b) #define __MODULE_INFO(tag, name, info) \ -static const char __module_cat(name,__LINE__)[] \ +static const char __unique_id(name)[] \ __attribute__((section(".modinfo"),unused)) = __stringify(tag) "=" info #define MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(gtype,name) \ --- trivial-2.5.74-bk4/include/linux/stringify.h.orig 2003-07-07 17:36:52.000000000 +1000 +++ trivial-2.5.74-bk4/include/linux/stringify.h 2003-07-07 17:36:52.000000000 +1000 @@ -9,4 +9,11 @@ #define __stringify_1(x) #x #define __stringify(x) __stringify_1(x) +/* Paste two tokens together. */ +#define ___cat(a,b) a ## b +#define __cat(a,b) ___cat(a,b) + +/* Try to give a unique identifier: this comes close, iff used as static. */ +#define __unique_id(stem) \ + __cat(__cat(__uniq,stem),__cat(__LINE__,KBUILD_BASENAME)) #endif /* !__LINUX_STRINGIFY_H */ -- What is this? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/trivial/ Don't blame me: the Monkey is driving File: Rusty Russell : [PATCH] __cat and __unique_id in stringify.h
