Re: Best place to ask this question: error with compiler.h whenswitching from 2.6.32 to 2.6.36

[Bruno PrÃmont]

Hi,

You should post the corresponding code in my_module.c around line 24
(preferably a link to the whole code of your external module).

The error alone won't help too much as probably it's happening more or
less deep inside macros, thus the whole parameters to the macro are
required to understand.
