Hi Linux kings!

I had to extend the task_struct structure in the kernel (in sched.h) for some measurements. First I thought this won't so difficult: I append a new component at the end of the structure (an integer) and adapt the INIT_TASK definition by inserting a ,0 at the end.

While compiling the kernel I got the following errors:

init_task.c:24: parse error before ','
init_task.c:24: warning: missing braces around initializer after 'init_task_union.task.sigmask.lock'
init_task.c:24: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after 'init_task_union.task.sigmask.lock'
gcc: internal compiler error...

Are there some more modifications needed???

Used Kernel: 2.1.109 on Intel Pentium 133

Thanx for helping me

marc
