Really? Too bad, I loved the explicit conversions to bool. This is a matter of code style, not correctness, so usually I wouldn't care much. But I went to read MISRA-C to figure out if there are any differences from that point of view. From Rule 10.3, it looks like it is not compliant, because they say that: bool_t bla = 0; is not MISRA-C compliant. While: int c = 1; bool_t bla = c == 0; is compliant. So, if I read this right: return !!ret //compliant return ret; //not compliant I am not 100% sure though. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
