So, as a question of include-file naming, does "sys/" imply that it's tied to the system kernel in some sense? I mean, why would this imply "queue.h", while the earlier macros imply "sys/queue.h"? (I'm just wondering. Certainly the changes seem fine to me. But if I'm using the older macros in some userland program, should I reference <queue.h> or <sys/queue.h>? ) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
