Hi,
Maybe I have slept in one of the programming lessons but I can't imagine what
this 'extern' in front of the function definition does. If I don't comment it
out this routine is left as a unreferenced symbol. I copied this example from
ncr5380.c.
extern __inline__ int wait_req_true(void)
{
int timeout = 25000;
while ...
Perhaps someone can help me make my brain working better?
TIA, Markus
