So that code is fine. Yes, it is working fine. I would rather think that structure is misleading than smart :-D. I prefer this: struct ocfs2_control_message_down { char tag[OCFS2_CONTROL_MESSAGE_OP_LEN + 1]; #define space1 tag[OCFS2_CONTROL_MESSAGE_OP_LEN] char uuid[OCFS2_TEXT_UUID_LEN + 1]; #define space2 uuid[OCFS2_TEXT_UUID_LEN] .... regards, wengang. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
