I always thought the Right Way to do this would be implement it in GCC, so that you can do things like: __some_magic__(PORT_ADDR) |= 0x80; which is much more beatufil than either of: outb (PORT_ADDR, inb (PORT_ADDR) | 0x80); outb (inb (PORT_ADDR) | 0x80, PORT_ADDR); don't you think? (now if someone is bored and takes my suggestion to gcc-patches, that'd make my day...) -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
