I think I disagree with this reasoning. If I'm reading your code and I see, say, list_for_each_entry_safe(), I can be pretty confident that your loop works correctly. If you write your own for loop, then I have to check that you actually got the linked list walking right. - R. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
