| |
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?
