Subject: Re: [PATCH] Making it easy to add system calls
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2003 22:23:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E66BF21.4010608@pobox.com> (raw)

Your patch makes it impossible to tell at an easy glance which syscall
is which number. The current code makes it quite obvious which numbers
are assigned to which syscalls, and which syscall numbers are available
for use. We lose valuable information with this patch, even if it does
wind up to be functionally equivalent.
Jeff
