That would make as much sense. In all fairness, C and C++ are two different languages, whereas the files in question are all the same language, so this analogy isn't quite correct. However, given tab-completion, I think we can get away with using .s and .S. Also, only converting the assembly files that actually need .S because they #include headers will save on repo bloat as fewer files will need to be copied. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
