FWIW it seems to me the trie code is very stable, there doesn't seem to be any big changes in a long time. > > I want only one data structure which does the job well, and we have > that now. I don't see any good way to slim the trie code down. Do you? It's just inherently complex. Yes on many systems it's a good thing, and the complexity is justified, but on the tiny systems the bloat and code size just hurts. If we can't get the bloat down these users will just desert us to lwip ... -Andi -- a...@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
