Can we stick to STR(PTR) for consistency please? Or __PA_ADDR in paccess.h. I have mixed feelings, the reason for __stringify being absent is the macro being generic and more recently added than pieces of code that use STR, e.g. unaligned.c that has been there since forever. And we do use __stringify in many other cases. On the other hand STR is short and sweet, unlike __stringify. So how about adding a macro like __STR_PTR that expands to __stringify(PTR) and converting all the places throughout our port (including ones currently using __UA_ADDR/__PA_ADDR) to use the new macro? Leonid's bug fix will need to go in first of course. Maciej
