[Kernel-janitors] [[email protected]: Re: 2.6.1-mm4]
This is something interesting to have in the TODO list... It requires a new gcc version to test tho. Andrew was using a cvs snapshot gcc, perhaps this started happening from 2.6 on, notice that one has to compile _and_ try to load the módule.
Patterns, perhaps this happens elsewhere... :)

hmm, cute.
Yes.
It worked.
I thought of this, but why this and not the other parameters ? Compiler bug ?
Presumably, recent gcc's remove the variable altogether and just expand the constant inline. When the central module code checks for the parameter's existence in the module's symbol table it errors out.

Sorry... I mean from gcc 3.3.* onwards.
