Subject: [PATCH 07/10] x86: fix duplicate extern declarations
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 04:14:13 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113001432.128201-8-safocl88@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113001432.128201-1-safocl88@gmail.com>
Compiling a kernel module with a C++ compiler results in a duplicate
echo ‘extern’ specifier error.
This occurs because the code contains , and
expands to when processed by a C++ compiler.
The specifier must be removed.
