hi everyone. here are some c tips for the kernel.

[Jon Maser]

instead of running around doing stuff like adding pointer to pointer
functions to structs in the scheduler and pointing them at an
algorithm or adding global pointers and posting patches (but after i
read the source i will independently until i release code), i decided
to write some things id like in the kernel

but here are some tips c tips picked up

pointer functions to and to in data structures ie Struct **fs(bffs
handle) and messaging
data structures with lists as return types for functions for mp and messaging
data structures as return types and arguments of pointer functions
the linux global macro function (suggestion)
global structs, global pointers, global pointers to pointers (ie. you
can just access a kernel struct in a module without a macro or much of
one)
the linux c/python tutorial made in c
more gnu/programming languages

and it would be nice if someone wrote a fancy, universal debugger for
the kernel, something like, you can check loops and directly in
functions if compiled with a certain flag
