You wanna talk newbies, look at the Linux kernel code. Something as simple as namei() had to be split nito umpteen pieces, each of which is less organized than the next. The comments appear to have been written by children and are peppered with "in joke"-style wisecracks that only point to their authors' immaturity and lack of technical seniority. NEVER have I seen more disorganized code. Funny, the CAPTCHA word to enter was "exhumed." This sad sack replacement for namei() looks like it was exhumed from God-knows-where. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
