Will do.

Unfortunately, it does.

We have the following cases:
- compiling without module support, source file not including linux/module.h
-> !defined(CONFIG_MODULES) && !defined(THIS_MODULE)
-> compiling the expression (THIS_MODULE ? THIS_MODULE->name : __FILE__)
fails with undefined symbol THIS_MODULE
- compiling with module support, source file not including linux/module.h
-> defined(CONFIG_MODULES) && !defined(THIS_MODULE)
-> compiling the expression (THIS_MODULE ? THIS_MODULE->name : __FILE__)
fails with undefined symbol THIS_MODULE
- compiling without module support, source file including linux/module.h
-> !defined(CONFIG_MODULES) && defined(THIS_MODULE)
-> compiling the expression (THIS_MODULE ? THIS_MODULE->name : __FILE__)
fails because THIS_MODULE is defined as a NULL pointer to
struct module which in this case is an incomplete type (*sigh*)
- compiling with module support, source file including linux/module.h,
not compiling as a module
-> defined(CONFIG_MODULES) && defined(THIS_MODULE)
&& THIS_MODULE == ((struct module *)0)
-> compiling the expression (THIS_MODULE ? THIS_MODULE->name : __FILE__)
succeeds (hooray), but THIS_MODULE is a NULL pointer, though this
time the type it points to is at least completely defined
- compiling with module support, source file including linux/module.h,
compiling as a module
-> defined(CONFIG_MODULES) && defined(THIS_MODULE)
&& THIS_MODULE == &__this_module
-> compiling the expression (THIS_MODULE ? THIS_MODULE->name : __FILE__)
succeeds and THIS_MODULE can actualy be dereferenced
I would like the code to compile and run successfully in all these cases.
