At present the kernel has a private copy of unidef. So adjusting the
private copy for the needs of the kernels seems like a god plan.
We could even make it an extension so we do not break current
functionality.

which functionality ?  normalizing of whitespace or all these
linux-specific hacks ?  unifdef serves one specific function which is
stated in its manpage: remove preprocessor conditionals from code.

I would much more prefer this functionality to be integrated into unifdef.
There is no good reason to have two different preprocesisng methonds, one
being the sed based one and the other the unidef one.

A sinlge dedicated program that contian the sum of the functionality would
be faster too.

while you could try and make a claim against memory/cpu effeciency, i
fail to see how the first or last claims could possibly be backed up

but again, if you feel that strongly about it, you're certainly free
to post a patch

That was an attempt to support less sucking userspace in the kernel
development. More readable, more memory/cpu effective, more portable.

Right, that's why i've used '  *' sometimes.

if you want to make some micro optimization in the build install step,
sure ... but functionally, the difference is irrelevant considering
sed operates only on individual lines

no, there is no grouping marker anywhere, so the match always applies
to just the whitespace

a question that i think is really only relevant if it actually occurs
in the source code

so post a patch for inclusion ... not that it's been an actual problem
[yet] though

Matching at least one occurrence, right?

That may be. My games with strict POSIX sed syntax render busybox's sed
as crap for example. So, you never know.

OK, that means annotations and non ANSI 'inline' thing. Lets see.

[]

* [[:space:]] are more than tab and space isspace(3), is it more

substitute one or more ' __user '

with ' ', everywhere (flag 'g'). So, is it really needed that '\{' thing?

Is it allowed to use identifiers like '__attribute_const__foo' or
__attribute_const__[anything]? If it's not, last line is useless also.

>   -e "/^\#include /d"
whitespace is allowed   ^ here and is used for better readability
sometimes.
