http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14328 Summary: Consistent the size type. New logic to use. Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Kernel Version: 2.6.30.9 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: vik@xxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No It is possible to do consistent the sizeof(). Just the size type be unsigned. Next is sample: unsigned long *p,*p2,length; p=some_value; p2=p; length=sizeof(type_or_lvalue); p+=length; if(p<p2) catch_overrun... *p=some_value2; However the error codes is negative so it is hard to accept big size. Are the race of system calls and kernel subroutines is different? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
