hmmm... interesting The discussion is mostly about improvements to existing algorithms such as error checking and correction and encryption. So, it leads me to ask if there are any such problems in the DSP field that could be addressed with it? Please, please don't let it be DRM :P Seems like m

Hi Martin, Can I pick your brain on how this works? My biggest question is why to use the typedef__u32__attribute__ line inside an inline function. Don't you only have to do this once? If so, wouldn't you place that line outside the function? On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 7:39 AM, Martin Homuth-Rosem
