Having to document not only my change, but all the rest of the source file as well may mean I spend way more work on this doc task than on the actual fix. And while I may well understand the area I meddled with, I may not easily understand the rest of the code, so this is twice hard and time consuming.

For example, seriously restricting the concept of a pointer simply forces the programmer to use a vector plus integer arithmetic to implement structures, pointer, etc. Good design and the absence of errors cannot be guaranteed by mere language features. - Bjarne Stroustrup, "The C++ Programming Language" _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
