That violates Linus's rule that application code must not include kernel headers directly. I agree with that rule, as do all the major kernel developers. The application code is wrong. Applications must not rely on accessing the "current" kernel headers. Applications must not assume that the booted kernel matches the headers the application was compiled with. You must cope with version skew between kernel and user space. _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
