Re: [PATCH 01/18] trace: Allow <linux/tracepoint.h> to createempty tracepoints
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Mar 22 2010 - 21:06:59 EST
And I thought I was nasty with the CPP macros ;-)
Added Mathieu to the Cc since he's the one that wrote the original
tracepoint code.

This is a really lame comment. There should be almost as much comments
as code when doing CPP trickery like this.

Hmm, We can have tracepoints in a header. Would this still work if a
header with a tracepoint was not converted but it was included in a file
that was. Of course I haven't seen the other patches yet so I don't yet
know what a conversion looks like.
