Personally I'm on Matts side.. it makes it a lot safer re; allowing the compiler to check things if we have a union for the common cases.. if you do have your own module that needs to use the void * then fine, you can still use it but this makes debugging easier (gdb can followw teh links easier) and reduces likelyhood of errors. > > -- > -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] > 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," > start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.' > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
