From e2138cf1e6088f12ffa874e87cc8f4b198378635 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:39:28 +0100 Subject: linker_lists.h: drop never used ll_start, ll_end macros These macros have AFAICT never been used at all. It's also far from clear what purpose it could serve - for one thing, what _type would one pass, other than void perhaps? The example using "struct my_sub_cmd" seems misplaced, as how could one know that the first linker list consists of those, and moreover, how would one know how many there are? The linker list concept is fragile enough on its own, there is no need to have unused functionality lying around that may or may not bitrot and certainly will confuse readers of linker_lists.h.
