The big advantage of if (FOO) instead of #if FOO is that you always get to compile test all configurations (even if the code it later eliminated by the compiled). That's a pretty big deal as the number of configuration settings go up. But sure, it isn't a black/white thing. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
