Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0702030243350.23432@CPE00045a9c397f-CM001225dbafb6> Date: Sat, 3 Feb 2007 02:49:34 -0500 (EST) From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@...dspring.com> To: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: a quick survey: "FIELD_SIZEOF" or "MEMBER_SIZE"? pardon the interruption but, once upon a time, we were discussing cleaning up code to use the kernel.h-defined macro "FIELD_SIZEOF". some folks suggested that the macro name itself was kind of awkward as it didn't fit the pattern of "ARRAY_SIZE" defined in that same header file. because of a name clash, "FIELD_SIZE" is not available, but there was a suggestion of, uh, "MEMBER_SIZE". :-) so, really, those are the two viable choices -- stick with the current name of FIELD_SIZEOF, or switch to MEMBER_SIZE. switching is not a big deal since no one (at least, no one in the current tree) uses FIELD_SIZEOF as it is, so it's not as if it would be a disruptive change in the slightest. opinions? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
