Commit e09d61c41b4fe (ovs-atomic: Remove atomic_uint64_t and atomic_int64_t.) removed these types to discourage using them, because they cannot be implemented efficiently on some 32-bit platforms. At the time I seem to recall that we suggested using ATOMIC(uint64_t) in situations where these types are both wanted and known to be supported. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
