Why is change of ASSEMBLER?


Hi, Zack,

Can you tell me when you made

1998-05-28 00:53  Zack Weinberg  <zack@rabi.phys.columbia.edu>

	* include/libc-symbols.h: Use __ASSEMBLER__ test macro not ASSEMBLER.
have you thought how it was used and where it was defined? When you
made such a change, something would be broken. When you make changes
like that, you should do

# find . -type f -exec grep ASSEMBLER {} /etc/passwd \;

before making any changes. You should exam the output and list all
the places you have to change. After you are done, double check if
the changes are correct. Otherwise, you will create new bugs, some
of which, like this one, is not very easy to figure out.

Can you please fix it?

Thanks.
