Gcc seems to be smart enough to do contant folding on string
subscripts, so you don't need to change any of the printk()s.
Here is what I mean:
#include <stdio.h>
#define actual_printk printf
#define KERN_ERR "<3>" /* error conditions */
#define KERN_WARNING "<4>" /* warning conditions */
#define KERN_NOTICE "<5>" /* normal but significant condition */
#define printk(str, ...) \
do { \
if ((str)[0] != '<' || (str)[1] < '5') \
actual_printk((str), __VA_ARGS__); \
} while(0);
int main(void)
{
printk(KERN_ERR "error %d\n", 1);
printk(KERN_WARNING "warning %d\n", 2);
printk(KERN_NOTICE "notice %d\n", 3);
printk("no level %d\n", 4);
return 0;
}
