This is supposed to be a FAQ ... "Thou shalt NOT use floating point in the kernel!" Generally speaking, doing your math in floating-point is for cases where you really need it, and fixed point, or integer approximations are not good enough. > Also qsort is not supported in kernel, Is there any method to sort > integers in kernel??? Kernel is not userspace with standard libc available to it. Now, what exactly are you aiming at ? > Regards, > Chandra /Matti Aarnio - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
