Hi guys,
I always test new ideas or learn about things by writing a little module
that does what I want to explore. But today I discovered that on a Red Hat
6.9 system (running test10-pre3 with everything correctly upgraded) I can
no longer compile a trivial skeleton hello.c unless I use the latest gcc
instead of kgcc (which I don't really want to use); any idea why?
(my /usr/include/linux of course pointd to the kernel src's
/usr/src/linux/include/linux and the same for asm). Maybe kgcc is told to
use the headers in some hardcoded _wrong_ location and so can't
understand __exit?
# cat hello.c
#define __KERNEL__
#define MODULE
#define __SMP__
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
static int __init test_init(void)
{
return 0;
}
static void __exit test_exit(void)
{
return;
}
module_init(test_init);
module_exit(test_exit);
# kgcc -Wall -O2 -g -c -o hello.o hello.c
