Subject: strcut casts unsigned long
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:17:29 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <965738.16877.qm@web57908.mail.re3.yahoo.com> (raw)

List,

I have C question on skbuff.h.
skb->_skb_dst is defined as unsigned long and dst_entry is struct.

Why strct dst_entry casts unsigned long skb->_skb_dst?

See below

static inline struct dst_entry *skb_dst(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	return (struct dst_entry *)skb->_skb_dst;
}

Appreciate any answer!
