Huh. I prefer sizeof without parens, like I prefer return without parens.
It actually annoys me when I see someone write
return(0);
Because it's not a function (our language is too low-level to use continuation-passing style), it's magic syntax.
Sizeof likewise. I tend to use "p = malloc(sizeof *p)" a lot. It just reads more nicely, to my eyes, than "p = malloc(sizeof(*p))".
If I wanted my code to be cluttered with parens, I'd write it in Lots of Irritating Silly Parenthese.
Certainly, tha paren-less style is all over the kernel. It's heavily used in arch/x86/boot, for example.
I guess it's what you're used to. -- 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/
