oh, I agree. My only point is that if the *only* argument against bitfields is that they're inefficient (insert vague hand-waving) then people will happily decide to live with that inefficiency. I'm all for macros that are both efficient *and* abstract away the risk of getting open-coding wrong. - z - 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/
