The return should probably be const char *. Indexing a string array with an enum is generally unsafe. I think it better to use a switch/case like: const char *ptlrpc_import_state_name(enum lustre_imp_state state) { switch (state) { case LUSTRE_IMP_CLOSED: return "CLOSED"; case LUSTRE_IMP_NEW: return "NEW"; case LUSTRE_IMP_DISCON: return "DISCONN"; case LUSTRE_IMP_CONNECTING: return "CONNECTING"; case LUSTRE_IMP_REPLAY: return "REPLAY"; case LUSTRE_IMP_REPLAY_LOCKS: return "REPLAY_LOCKS"; case LUSTRE_IMP_REPLAY_WAIT: return "REPLAY_WAIT"; case LUSTRE_IMP_RECOVER: return "RECOVER"; case LUSTRE_IMP_FULL: return "FULL"; case LUSTRE_IMP_EVICTED: return "EVICTED"; default: return "UNKNOWN"; } } _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
