Ok, so allow me to drag this line a bit further, and this will interest Dallas probably as well: Can we make a combined effort, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and Darwin/Mac OS X to target getting rid of this in our respective CURRENT/development trees? Which items can we identify to tackle in this effort? - Get rid of __P() macros in source files - Use proper ANSI prototypes, this flows from the point above what else? Are there any choking points? As far as I can see we all have compilers which should not give any problems with this. What would be the timeframe in which we want to accomplish this? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven / asmodai / Kita no Mono / xMach coreteam asmodai@[wxs.nl|xmach.org], finger asmodai@ninth-circle.org http://www.softweyr.com/asmodai/ We've laid together in the sun before the mind-rape has begun...
