I wasn't saying that. However, I believe that the use of structures to represent hardware devices is abserd. All datasheets I have ever seen describe devices as a set of offsets from the start address.
The raw information is numeric. Why go to the pain of converting this to a compiler-based structure, and then get the compiler to convert it back to offsets again? It's not like you're using typechecking or any other features of a structure. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/aboutme.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ |
