[PATCH 0/6] ALSA: firewire: simplify symbol space for local linkage

[PATCH 0/6] ALSA: firewire: simplify symbol space for local linkage

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi,

This patchset is just for code improvements, without adding features.

Modules in ALSA firewire stack have some implementations for operation
structures which sound subsystem defines. All of them are referred just by
each local function to register corresponding operations. In this case, it's
better to put them into the function local so that symbol space in local
linkage of translation unit is kept to be simple.

[PATCH 6/6] ALSA: firewire-tascam: simplify symbol space for local linkage

[Takashi Sakamoto]

This module has some implementations for operation structures which sound
subsystem defines. All of them are referred just by each local function to
register corresponding operations. In this case, it's better to put them
into the function local so that symbol space in local linkage of
translation unit is kept to be simple.

This commit moves such symbols to function local.

Do we see any merit in the resultant binaries by these changes?
I'm not against this kind of code changes, but just wondered.
That is, it's not totally clear what you takes as really "better" in
your context.


thanks,

Takashi

Mmm, sorry but my explanation is wrong. I managed to describe the reason 
in an aspect of local linkage, but an aim of this patchset is irrelevant 
to it.

The aim is for identifier space of each translation unit. The merit can 
be described in two points:
  - For readers
   - readers have no concern about where the identifier is referred.
     It's just inner the including function.
  - For identifier space of the file
   - developers are free from name conflict for further work.

If no objections against the aim, I'll resubmit this patchset with 
proper commit comments.


Thanks
