This page covers everything we were confused about yesterday. And you are right - I read Love's 3rd edition as more ambiguous than wrong, but he does say the "head" node is not a member of the list, and that's more wrong than ambiguous. Morevover, the biggest problem with my first implementation was that I believed him. -- Arlie (Arlie Stephens arlie@xxxxxxxxxxxx) _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
