If, for some reason I calculate by hand the pointer address and call this macro like: ND_NLMSG_R_LEN(nlh + sizeof(*nlh)), then it would expand like nlh + sizeof(*nlh)->nlmsg_len - ND_IFINDEX_LEN which looks wrong in my pov, no?
Please, let me know if I misunderstood anything. Thanks _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
