Just fix the original variable so that it's not a million characters long. Using a shorter variable is good if it simplifies the code like so: struct foo *foo = &my->random_variable[INDEX].whatever; You've reduced 4 variable names and a butt load of punctuation down to just "foo" so that we don't have to look at it repeated over and over on every line. But if you're just using a temporary variable because the original variable name was poorly chosen, that's not the right thing. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
