Subject: Guide on useful helpers
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2019 19:46:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8375db42-c871-e1e6-2b67-4067239c4e54@metux.net> (raw)

Hello folks,


do we already have some guide (or at least a list of) useful helpers
that can/should be used for more compact/maintainable code ?

I sometimes learn about those by accident (eg. watching at patches
floating around, comments on patches by other folks, reading existing
driver code, ...), but haven't found any guide/docs on that yet.

If there isn't any such guide yet, I'll volounteer for starting and
maintaining it.

Note: I certainly don't intent to duplicate (in-code) function
documentation, but instead some collection of useful tips, that can
be quickly read. Maybe it could be kinda FAQ list.
