I DO understand the point of making them interchangable, but I think it's a false goal. If we wanted to make them intercangable we'd just have "QUEUE" and not 4 (was 5) different types. why not get rid of the 3 subset list types? BTW a macro name for the FOREACH termination test would be TAILQ_FOREACH_COMPLETED(&head, var) where &head would be completely ignored in most implementatios I think. It's enough to make one go and write one's own rather than using the macros, really... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
