:> > Bullshit. You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. :> :> I don't know that you screwed up in your quest to fix a warning? Gee, :> forgive me for sounding suprised, but: :> :> "Matt, you screwed up with your fix that tried to fix a -Wall warning". :> The fix was wrong. Wrong. Wrong. If you don't understand it, don't :> fix it and leave the warning. The warning is there for a reason, and :> making it go away because it bothers you is *WRONG* WRONG *WRONG*. : :Please disregard previous email asking what the bug was.. :-) : :-Archie : :___________________________________________________________________________ :Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com The eisa code was already broken, just not badly enough to crash the machine instantly. I comitted a fix that was essentially what I believed the author meant to do, but the code still didn't look right so I also brought it up on the lists and kept it dog-ear'd. How Mr. ignoromous Nate could construe this to mean that I was trying to brush something under the rug is beyond me. As I said to Julian, I probably shouldn't have made the committ, but the fact is that I not only left the module on my hotlist, I also immediately brought the potential problem to the attention of the entire list and thence, when reminded, onto the scsi list as well -- the problem was NOT being ignored or brushed under the rug. It had NOTHING whatsoever to do with cleaning up a compiler warning. As mistakes go, this was a pretty minor one. Only an idiot would come to a different conclusion. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
