To: arch@freebsd.org Subject: HEADS UP: caddr_t sweep From: Dag-Erling Smorgrav Date: 16 Mar 2002 04:24:31 +0100 Message-ID: Lines: 12 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0808 (Gnus v5.8.8) Emacs/21.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm preparing a sweep that will remove incorrect caddr_t casts in copy{in,out,str,instr}(), bcopy() and bzero() calls in the kernel. This will affect 650 to 700 lines of code, leaving approximately 2,000 lines of code containing caddr_t casts, most of which are probably equally bogus but will take more work to eradicate. This will probably cause merge conflicts for some of you. I apologize for the inconvenience.
