Subject: [PATCH] get rid of bcopy warning
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2003 11:36:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030813113635.3d3b71ce.shemminger@osdl.org> (raw)
Get rid of warning because internal definition of bcopy
conflicts with builtin. The warning is probably a bogus
bug of GCC 3.2.3, but the workaround is simple.
Almost no driver really uses bcopy anyway, and no code
uses the return value.
