You didn't quite follow the discussion. I used bytes on V1, and we are not 100% sure its safe on all arches. unsigned long is guaranteed to be safe. We absolutely rely on this. Better use more bytes on a socket (with no impact on real memory use), than spending hours to debug some strange issues. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
