Nicolas Palix (in CC) did a bit of work on this recently using Coccinelle, but the problem is that simply removing the typedef is not enough, one has to come up with a name that is within the spirit of the names used in Linux, or perhaps recognize that the structure in question already exists in a more general form in the kernel an thus the declaration should be removed completely. Someone else made a dedicated tool using a dictionary of the old and new names that at least partially addresses these problems. Nicolas knows who that person is. julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
