It is defined in .h file and used in .c file. It is made so because defining static data variables in .h file is a bad style in general and in this case will result in build-time warnings in particular. Therefore definition of hda_preset_tables[] is moved to .c file. It looks like this: static const struct hda_codec_preset *const hda_preset_tables[] = { snd_hda_preset_realtek, snd_hda_preset_cmedia, snd_hda_preset_analog, snd_hda_preset_sigmatel, snd_hda_preset_si3054, snd_hda_preset_atihdmi, snd_hda_preset_conexant, snd_hda_preset_via, NULL }; I want to make it easier for people to add new snd_hda_preset_XXX. I don't want them to be forced to add it in hda_patch.h first, and then go to hda_codec.c and add it there too. Therefore I turned this list into a #define which sits in hda_patch.h: #define SND_HDA_PRESETS \ snd_hda_preset_realtek, \ snd_hda_preset_cmedia, \ snd_hda_preset_analog, \ snd_hda_preset_sigmatel, \ snd_hda_preset_si3054, \ snd_hda_preset_atihdmi, \ snd_hda_preset_conexant, \ snd_hda_preset_via Now if you want to add yet another snd_hda_preset_XXX, you don't need to touch hda_codec.c. Original code was achieving the same by cheating: it has static const struct hda_codec_preset *hda_preset_tables[] = {...} in hda_patch.h. -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
