Hi! ----
Are there any objections that I move <stdbool.h> to <sys/stdbool.h> (and create a new <stdbool.h> which sources <sys/stdbool.h>) that (new) kernel code can use the new C99 datatype |bool| ([1]) ? Note that I do not intent do replace |boolean_t| in existing code, only allow that new stuff (optionally) can use this C99 feature... [1]=Note that |bool| differs from the traditional kernel-land |boolean_t| datatype that it is smaller (e.g. |sizeof(boolean_t)==sizeof(int)| vs. |sizeof(bool)==1|) and optionally allows the compiler to do better optimisations on this datatype (since it is allowed to assume that it only contains |true| and |false| as values instead of the full range from |INT_MIN|-|INT_MAX| for |boolean_t| (since this enum is treated as |int| by value-range optimisations)) and usually reduces the size of executables (e.g. partially cleaning-up libast's boolean usage with |bool| reduces the size of libast.so.1 from 1177272 bytes to 1094488 bytes). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
