How about instead of supporting int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64 and uint64 I'd just support 'number' type, which would be uint64_t. This shouldn't break transporting signed values and because I don't support basic types like int, long, etc. casting or conversion has to be done anyway. This would reduce number of supported types to: NV_TYPE_NULL NV_TYPE_BOOL NV_TYPE_NUMBER NV_TYPE_STRING NV_TYPE_NVLIST NV_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR NV_TYPE_BOOL_ARRAY NV_TYPE_NUMBER_ARRAY NV_TYPE_STRING_ARRAY NV_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY NV_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR_ARRAY So 11 types down from 25 types. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com FreeBSD committer http://www.FreeBSD.org Am I Evil?
