What is this other problem that you've fixed? What was wrong with the
ntohl() call that was there before? (kmdb issue?)
My x86 nightly had a linker error with ntohl() for kmdb, while sparc
build went through. Thats why I had to introduce the macros.
I got successful builds for both now.
OK. I think a better direction here would be to make sure that the
[hn]to[nh][ls] functions (or macros) are available inside of the mdb
API, since this is unlikely to be the only user, but I guess this is
fine for now. If you could rename the macro to something that makes
it easier to find in the future (such as "ip_ntohl"), that'd probably
help.
Yes, that's right. I will rename the macro for now.
Thanks
