Hi all,
today I tried to compile the iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss010824 for my walnut-like
custom board. But unfortunately it fails: (original make output below)
The reason seems to be that linux/inetdevice.h uses the inline function ffz()
to define another inline function inet_mask_len(). The ffz() function is
defined in the include file asm/bitops.h. But now there is some inconsistency
between the asm-i386/ and the asm-ppc/ directory: while the asm-i386/bitops.h
defines the ffz function for all includes, the asm-ppc/bitops.h restricts the
ffz function (and also some others) to kernel files (with #ifdef __KERNEL__).
I then tried to remove the #ifdef __KERNEL__ from the first significant line
of the asm-ppc/bitops.h file, but now the compiler complained about the missing
macro definition of PPC405_ERR77(). This one is defined in the asm-ppc/atomic.h
as well as in asm-ppc/ppc_asm.h, but - unfortunately - differently. (One has
double quotes, the other not.) The definition in atomic.h is only for kernel
files, but I moved it out of the #ifdef __KERNEL__ and could successfully
compile
iproute2.
But here are my questions:
Q: Is the ffz() function desgined to work in a user space application, too? If
yes, the file asm-ppc/bitops.h would need a change.
Q: Does it make any sense to define one single macro (PPC405_ERR77()) in
different
ways in different include files?
What is your opinion?
Kind regards,
Georg Klug
