So this is an opportunity to switch everything to a new member_sizeof(). What do people think of that and how does this impact the patch footprint? _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
