Quite frankly I'm not interested in the consensus at this point. You and others have brought up several justifications for the way you want to do it, and I've systematically pointed out that they're all wrong. "Consensus" doesn't mean something is right, it just means it's the least objectionable option, which is a terrible way to run a railroad. Chris was right that there is absolutely no question that not having to dereference the variable is faster. How much faster really isn't the point. Every little bit helps, especially on embedded/slower systems. So just relax, stop trying to make this a pissing contest, and focus your attention on something useful, like fixing openbgpd and TCP_SIGNATURE. :) Doug -- You can observe a lot just by watching. -- Yogi Berra Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
