What is "__attribute__()" in kernel code
Hi all, I was wondering what __attribute__ does in the kernel code? I found several definitions but couldnot come to one conclusion.. __releases(x) is defined in compiler.h. What does this mean?? # define __releases(x) __attribute__((context(x,1,0))) Thanking you -- With regards, Sandeep Kumar Anantapalli,
