I meant just have the comments in the .tbl file, but not act on them. One way to do this would be to let the script ignore everything past the first '#' character in a line by passing it through 'sed -e "s:#.*$::"' or a similar step (there is probably a nicer way to do this with shell built-ins). > > I think this makes more sense, in particular on the other architectures > > that have different macro names in some cases.

E.g. on powerpc: 291 32 fstatat64 sys_fstatat64 sys_fstatat64 291 64 newfstatat newfstatat or (simplified) 291 32 fstatat64 sys_fstatat64 291 64 newfstatat newfstatat makes much more sense than 291 32 fstatat64 sys_fstatat64 291 64 newfstatat newfstatat sys_fstatat64 Arnd
