Please be consistent. You have SLEEPING, so I would use SLEEP instead of SLP. Also, I would use CLEAR instead of CLR. Personally I don't want to have to use Caps Lock to write kernel code and I find the kernel shouting at me about thread states to be a bit much (I don't see why just using == to check a thread state is all that hard). Just please at least be consistent if you are going to uglify things. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
