Subject[patch] u64 casts
FromAlbert Cahalan <>
Date27 Feb 2004 15:58:42 -0500
Casts are considered harmful, because they bypass
type checking, but how do you print a u64 value?
You cast it to "unsigned long long" like this:

  printk("%llu\n", (unsigned long long)foo);

Well, this is silly and ugly. As x86-64 has shown,
even a 64-bit port can use "long long" for 64-bit
values. This patch changes all other 64-bit ports.
It now becomes possible to avoid adding new casts
all over the place; existing ones may be removed
if so desired.
