#183 open-wm-tools-9.4.6 has conflicting macro with current linux kernel

[Arthur Nascimento]

Hi,

The file lib/include/vm_assert.h, lines 285 to 292, redefines a macro that was introduced in linux kernel 3.13 in include/linux/printk.h: DEPRECATED.

I noticed that the macro is not used in any other place on open-vm-tools code, so removing the mentioned lines makes the compilation continue and does not break anything, apparently.

Since the linux kernel's macro is not going away any time soon, I suggest that either open-vm-tool's macro is removed or renamed, otherwise it will be impossible to compile with newer linux headers.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this issue. DEPRECATED macro will be removed in next update of open-vm-tools.

Could you please check this with latest release of open-vm-tools 9.10.2?
