Hmmm, if I looked at this a few years down the road, I'll most likely end up wondering if there was a clever reason to word it like that, and simply shutting up compiler warnings would be low on my list of suspects :) I think I'll just go for this instead: > UINTN PmCmd; > UINTN Pmba; > UINTN PmRegMisc; > // // suppress uninitialized use gcc warning // > PmCmd = 0; > Pmba = 0; > PmRegMisc = 0; > if it's still an option :) Thanks, --Gabriel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
