Thank you for taking care of that. After seeing that it needed to be in a header file, I was going to try doing it all as macros. I have a question about the commit though: shouldn't both functions be static if they are in a .h file? Otherwise, it could lead to naming conflicts. I suppose it's wrong to include the implementation file twice, but it still might be confusing if someone tries. Two ideas that come to mind are: * make both static and then have a trivial wrapper in checksum.c * export one or both functions, but use #ifndef CHECKSUM_IMPL_H to prevent redefinition > Also, we have the cut-point between checksum.c and bufpage.c at the > wrong place.
