I absolutely, absolutely disagree on this. The problem with #ifdef proliferation is never any one patch. Each individual #ifdef is generally quite harmless in its own right. The problem is that after a mere 32 harmless individual #ifdef patches, each of which is fine when judged individually on its own merits, you suddenly have 4 billion build combinations to test. I'll give way on this issue the moment you build a quantum computer capable of compiling and testing all 4 billion code versions simultaneously. :) Michael _______________________________________________ gPXE mailing list [email protected] http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
