From 1fcccbac89f5bbc5e41aa72086960059fce372da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daisuke HATAYAMA Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 13:44:07 -0800 Subject: elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes #ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in order to reduce a range of modification. This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.
