The names are rather counter-intuitive. "ll" sounds like "long long", so why does it opearte on *unsigned* 64-bit? Ditto for "long_log2()". Perhaps they should be log2_u32(), log2_u64(), etc. Even better if someone can come up with the right pre-processor magic using sizeof/typeof so that you could just use "log2(any type)" -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
