The below looks like normal code but the last export symbol gets the
warning,
WARNING:EXPORT_SYMBOL: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follw its
function/variable
#16: FILE: kernel/acct.c:70:
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(test_export); /* Error ! */
It seems to have to do with the comments at the end of the line. The
first two examples don't have warnings because I removed the comments on
different lines. comments on the variable and export symbol lines gets
the error tho.
(warning may not be a proper patch)
