On 32-bit x86, a long is 32 bits but the alignment > requirement of __be64 is also 32 bit. All except x86-32 do, it is in fact the odd man out with respect to this issue. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
