If you want the first member foo (which is an integer) on both sides, you could simply write msg.error.err_type.foo == inttype.foo Both foo:s must be of type int, although the explicit casts won't give you any warnings if they aren't. If they really are, I think it's a compiler error if you don't get the same results (the casts are ok, and the address-of operator should force the C compiler to allocate the objects the way one would expect). But a const static declaration and no use of the address-of operator would give the compiler more freedom to not allocate storage for inttype in the usual way. /Niels _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
