(daddr_t)((unsigned long long)(bytes) >> DEV_BSHIFT) \ : (daddr_t)((unsigned long)(bytes) >> DEV_BSHIFT)) which shows how to do this in a macro, which is orthogonal to any name you may choose. I can also bikeshed function vs macro :) Warner _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
