I'm suggesting that we placate lint through whatever means necessary, but keep the existing signature and semantics of the macros. When we have more time, other things like having the macros check for malformed messages could be investigated. That work would need to include either collecting data demonstrating that adding those checks will still yield a stable DEBUG system, or fixing bugs so that the system remains stable. Only with the checks in-place would I feel comfortable changing the macros to return unsigned values, but even then I question the point, as I'm unaware of a pressing need to have a single mblk with 2^31 bytes of data. -- meem _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
