Perhaps, but then there are other people that deserve credit. Stallman, Torvalds, Mantegazza, Yodakin, not forgetting Proctor, Shackleford, Kramer, and countless others (oh, and Bill Gates). > 2) Even through all the trolling, there are some grains of useful > information. (kind of like the idea that legends have some basis in fact) Whoa... You guys need to ease up on the coffee or what ever meds you are on ;-) Even although we are susposedly all speaking English, I sometimes wonder if them 'mericuns threw out all the best bits when they declared independance. > It would be nice if he'd start contributing (again) instead of trolling, > but that's his choice. I say "958 compile time errors", you say "we only see a few".What should be happening is a close look at what the warnings say, followed by some workflow.... e.g. "[MOD] Duplicate symbol yadda, yadda"... Hrmmm. those symbols are exported by modules X, Y, and P. But.... we bypass the symbol tables that the kernel manages by feeding pointers in to Wibble. So.... don't need to export those symbols, which means a few bytes are saved. OK, that's reduced the count, how can we clean up the rest.... Not everyone runs the same flavour of Linux, likewise, not everyone speaks the same flavour of English (hell, some of the guys round here need subtitles). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
