Description Jan Pechanec 2007-10-30 05:20:58 AEDT

The RB_PROTOTYPE macro in usr/src/cmd/ssh/include/sys-tree.h has a backslash on the last line of the macro. This backslash is not needed, and it's a maintenance hazard. If somebody puts non-null text on the line following the macro, it will get sucked into the macro definition. This looks particularly easy to get tripped up by, because the last line of the macro is blank.
