When the list is empty, stqh_last points at stqh_first (which means it

I think it would be much better to remove all of the platform-specific
asm statements from gensetdefs and put them into a header
. Gensetdefs would then emit an include of that
header to get the needed definitions.
This isn't very high on my personal p
spute that point, but it is worth mentioning that POSIX
specifically guarantees that st_dev and st_ino "taken together
uniquely identify the file within the system." So it is OK for
applications to rely on that.

enough so that this

For CVSup I plan to experiment with using a small farm of disk I/O
subprocesses (processes, not threads), communicating with the master
process via shared memory and/or pipes. Without trying it, I can't
on in Unix between "slow"
I/O devices and "fast" ones. Disks are "fast" ones, and the process
always blocks until the full I/O has completed.
This is not some kind of brokenness particular to FreeBSD; it's the
way Unix has always behaved.

I think the approach is reasonable, but it shouldn't go into the
