It would be nice if there were some way to change "struct > mutex" into "struct semaphore", but I dunno any ways of doing this with > gpp. I can make the change so that everything works and there are no conficts with non-struct names. It will remove a lot of #if stuff. There will be no problems or potential problems with the existing code. The only problem would be if someone later tried to create an identifier named just 'mutex', and also created one named 'semaphore' which shared scope with the 'mutex' one. Then they'd have to compile that on a pre-mutex kernel. Not that dangerous I think. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
