What does that have to do with anything? Adding fuptr()/suptr() has no consequences for supporting or not supporting different memory models with different pointer sizes. The functions are defined to operate on native (kernel PoV) pointers. Any non- native (kernel PoV) ABI has a non-native ABI handler that does all the mapping, converting and copying bits from userland to kernel and vice versa. And I can't believe I actually wasted my time telling you this when you only have to use your head instead of your keyboard. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel_at_xcllnt.netReceived on Fri Jul 25 2003 - 23:24:55 UTC
