Thanks, that's *precisely* what I wanted to know. I will print your answer out and stick it in the textbook. I see that the example is confusing because it's essentially a reference to the kernel ABI, not the API. As a general rule, I infer that when C looks peculiar and I can't figure out what's going on from include/linux/*.h, I should consider l looking at GCC docs instead. This related question http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0912.0/02339.html is interesting although it looks like no one answered. --- Alison Chaiken (650) 279-5600 (cell) http://www.exerciseforthereader.org/ The only real deadline in life is the one where you actually die. -- Eliot D. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
