It's one way, but it will increase fragmentation of memory. The other one as it seems to me is to name a new API properly, i.e. bitmap_size_to_bytes(). In such case you won't need renames to begin with. And then would be able to convert driver-by-driver in cases of duplicated code. I think that's what confused Yuri and I kinda agree that bitmap_size() should return bits, and not bytes. Also argument for pure bitmap_size() would be bitmap itself, but we have no way to detect the length of bitmap because we are using POD and not a specific data structure for it. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
