On some architectures -- this is a porting issue, and not a clean binary distinction. ASSUMES_32_BIT or some other "32 bit" name would probably better capture this particular issue. Even better might be to get the compiler to catch the most obvious mistakes and use #define decorations to override the compiler's determination (you'd need two of these, because the compiler can get this wrong in two different ways). -- Raul - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
