Important thing to note is depending on padding, alignment, and position of field it probably won’t save any space. Also for internal unpacked structures it really makes little sense to save a few bytes of data. Don’t read into that packed structures are good.. they usually aren’t :) - Matt >> >> Signed-off-by: Amir Mahdi Ghorbanian <indigoomega...@gmail.com> >> --- > > There was some discussion on this at Outreachy list: > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/outreachy-kernel/xpQAl-Gn8HA/yqcQRG_qBgAJ > > I think unless you post some statistics about 'conserving' space, > it is unlikely that maintainers will apply it. > > This idea was originally given by Linus and that thread of discussion > is worth reading too. > >> drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7192.h | 14 +++++++------- >> 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7192.h >> b/drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7192.h >> index 7433a43..7d3e62f 100644 >> --- a/drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7192.h >> +++ b/drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7192.h >> @@ -35,13 +35,13 @@ struct ad7192_platform_data { >> u16 vref_mv; >> u8 clock_source_sel; >> u32 ext_clk_hz; >> - bool refin2_en; >> - bool rej60_en; >> - bool sinc3_en; >> - bool chop_en; >> - bool buf_en; >> - bool unipolar_en; >> - bool burnout_curr_en; >> + unsigned int refin2_en : 1; >> + unsigned int rej60_en : 1; >> + unsigned int sinc3_en : 1; >> + unsigned int chop_en : 1; >> + unsigned int buf_en : 1; >> + unsigned int unipolar_en : 1; >> + unsigned int burnout_curr_en : 1; >> }; >> >> #endif /* IIO_ADC_AD7192_H_ */ >> -- >> 2.7.4 >> > > Goodluck! > > -- > Himanshu Jha > Undergraduate Student > Department of Electronics & Communication > Guru Tegh Bahadur Institute of Technology _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
