I think you mean /\b(?:$all_barriers)\s*\(/ as 'all_barriers' will be: mb|wmb|rmb|smp_mb|smp_wmb|smp_rmb and putting that into your suggestion results in: /\bmb|wmb|rmb|smp_mb|smp_wmb|smp_rmb\s*\(/ which is clearly wrong - the \b only applies to 'mb' and the \s*\( only applies to smp_rmb. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
