Yeah, obviously this is restricted to the signed-integer case. My point was just that you could have the compiler figure out which variant to pick for loff_t automatically. > "let's not play tricks with function types at all". I think I agree. The real (but harder) fix for the wasted space issue would be to get the toolchain to automatically combine functions that end up compiling into identical assembly. -Mitch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
