[patch 02/19] mutex subsystem, add typecheck_fn(type, function)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Chuck Ebbert <[email protected]>

add typecheck_fn(type, function) to do type-checking of function
pointers.

Modified-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>

(made it typeof() based, instead of typedef based.)
