They aren't indices in the traditional sense, they are simply unique ID's just like the filesystem UUIDs grub also supports. Their only purpose it to indicate uniqueness, nothing more. Since we have to allocate in-memory objects to remember the previously used paths anyways, it is just the most convenient thing to do to use the address of the object. Other disk drivers do this too, I'm not inventing anything nor doing anything strange here. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
