hi all, i have seen many places in kernel where the variables specially the structures should be of fixed size independent of the architecture. i went through the definitions of them but dint get clearly (or frankly say ...dint get them even a bit) .
Linux (compiler actually) supports C99 fixed-width types such as 8, 16, 32, 64 bits. Just look through the include/linux/types.h and small example here: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.36/arch/powerpc/boot/types.h#L8
so ,can please someone help me to understand this??
thanks in advance for help........ -- ........................ MOHIT VERMA
