I'm just trying to read the source code, and I am having trouble in a few areas. For example, I am completely baffled by the number of macros that get called in some places. For example, in the semaphore code... just wondering why DECLARE_MUTEX (macro) calls DECLARE_SEMAPHORE_GENERIC (macro) calls SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER (macro) calls WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INITIALIZER (macro) and so on, and so on...

I apologize, but this was mistakenly sent to the wrong mailing list... I was complaining about some parts of the kernel that gcc 3.1 was having
trouble with, which upon reading I was having trouble with :).

Sorry for the pollution...
