Dear All ，Im new to linux kernel program, and found struct pointer is difficult to understand, that the struct s3c_i2sv2_info *i2s = snd_soc_dai_get_drvdata(cpu_dai) means,? why is use the struct pointer assgn another struct pointer??
static int s3c2412_i2s_hw_params(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, struct snd_pcm_hw_params *params, struct snd_soc_dai *cpu_dai) { struct s3c_i2sv2_info *i2s = snd_soc_dai_get_drvdata(cpu_dai); struct s3c_dma_params *dma_data; .................................................................... } _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
Have a look at a utility binary "cdecl". This will help you greatly. However, the statement above means, snd_soc... is a function which takes a argument which is a pointer and returns a pointer to struct s3c_.. Here the pointer i2s is declared and initialize. Else it will do nasty thing if you try to de-reference it. Thanks,
