Hi, I must miss something...
Looking at these prototypes unsigned long simple_strtoul(const char *cp, char **endp,unsigned int base) unsigned long long memparse (char *ptr, char **retptr) I'm really wondering why not all parameters are not all 'const'. None of these functions modify any pointer containts. And simple_strtoul() ends up doing sometghing like: if (endp) *endp = (char *)cp; Could anyone shed some light ? -- Francis - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
