Hello,
I have some questions about device number extension. In Linux kernel 2.6, device number will be extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature in kernel 2.6. I find that "gpm-1.19.3" uses structure dev_t and operates the device number as 16-bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. gpm-root.c line 49: #ifdef HAVE_SYS_SYSMACROS_H #include <sys/sysmacros.h> #else #define major(dev) (((unsigned) (dev))>>8) #define minor(dev) ((dev)&0xff) #endif This is a backup for lost of system defined macro major and minor, but all of these operations look dev_t as 16 bits instead of 32 bits, so they will call problem when actually use them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since I didn't find any information about this aspect in homepage of this package, I wonder whether the latest version has completed the device number extension? If not, will it be completed in the future? And when? Looking forward to answering. --------------------------------------------------
