I don't have much of an opinion on any of the other stuff here, but I note that this is unsafe. I know we don't really care about non-64 bit these days, but we shouldn't be knowingly breaking it. Instead of ANDing with a fixed constant, shouldn't it be something like: intptr_t mask = ~1 >> 1; sentinel &= mask; -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
