Let's start to kill all those utterly silly if (x == true) and if (x == false) into if (x) and if (!x) and pospone the type decision. Adding a bool type only makes sense if we have any kind of static typechecking that no one ever assign an invalid type to it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
