Since dev->ifindex is int and we have many assignments between can_ifindex and dev->ifindex it would not make sense to define can_ifindex as a short int. Also in user space, ifindex is int, e.g. in struct ifreq. This would cause implicit truncating type casts from int to short int (some compilers warn about this, haven't tried GCC for a long time) or require many explicit type casts. urs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
