Re: [ts-7000] problems in header files?????

\ means contine the current line one the next, removing it will break it, 
check there is no whitespace after the \ some compilers are fussy, but it 
ought to work, its fairly standard language feature.

it basically means treat the line like this, since #define has to be one 
contiguous line, which is what you'd have to do if you removed the \

#define local_bh_disable()  do { add_preempt_count(SOFTIRQ_OFFSET); 
barrier(); }  while (0)

you might have had had some cr/lf <> lf translation problems, i've seen that 
cause problems too, but otherwise i'm not sure why its not working.
