As long as they don't cause problems, I'm a big fan of "let developers make their own choices". I think that uint32_t and friends are totally useless in the kernel, but while I have strong opinions, I try to not force those opinions on others too much. Quite frankly, it's unlikely to cause problems in practice. Having strong opinions and enjoying the occasional flame war is one thing. Trying to rail against other people who don't share those opinions and force them to change their code is a totally different thing. [ It has absolutely nothing to do with me being lazy. Oh, no. I'm not lazy. Much better to attribute it to some lofty goal like "live and let live". If the two just _happen_ to co-incide, all the better ;-] Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
