> But don't use type void *. There are problems using type void * with certain architctures (AVR I think) that was fixed by created wdparm_t. Please continue to use wdparm_t. The argument was originally a uint32_t. I was changed to a union with commit b8f3bd857be74ff78e01d961afbaedfbf17814ed because there are many architectures where sizeof(void *) < sizeof(uint32_t), MCS51, ez80, etc. So void * is insufficient for passing a uint32_t. This was changed again to the current wdparm_t form with commit 3adcae8ffbf247f1038bbb3b8281ea811799031e because there were issues in passing a union with certain compilers (SDCC at the time). So, please don't consider using void * instead of wdparm_t. You will definitely break things! ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
