What would be the point in leaving it in? No point. It just junks things up. I usually remove 'register' on any module I'm working on directly, but unless we have a mandate to clean up the source base it wouldn't be proper to remove it gratuitously, making porting work harder. Besides, most of those register keywords came from the original VAX-oriented source-base. They plain and simply do not apply, even if the compiler actually did something with them. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
