Subject: [PATCH] blackfin: allow allow usage of string functions in linux/string.h
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:50:28 +1030 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200903311250.28540.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <8bd0f97a0903301726j536da9aciaf9eb5e9a7afff5@mail.gmail.com>
In introducing a trivial "strstarts()" function in linux/string.h, we
hit the following error on blackfin:
file included from include/linux/bitmap.h:9,
from include/linux/nodemask.h:90,
from include/linux/mmzone.h:17,
from include/linux/gfp.h:5,
from include/linux/kmod.h:23,
from include/linux/module.h:14,
from arch/blackfin/lib/strncmp.c:14:
include/linux/string.h: In function 'strstarts':
include/linux/string.h:124: error: implicit declaration of function 'strncmp'
Because when including asm/string.h from arch/blackfin/lib/strncmp.c,
we don't declare the string op we are about to define, and
linux/string.h barfs.
The fix is to declare the function whose definition we steal via the
#define trick. I do this for all of them, so this won't bite us in
future.
