No, #undefs may be barely tolerable in .c files but they are not acceptable in core subsystem interfaces. If you do that you will never know what version of BIT patricular module is using. > Your > patch with: > +#define BIT(nr) (1UL << (nr)) > +#define LLBIT(nr) (1ULL << (nr)) > +#define BITWRAP(nr) (1UL << ((nr) % BITS_PER_LONG)) > in bitops.h made me believe the #undef in input.h was just a temporarily > thing. No. There is no "my patch". You are confusing me with Milind Choudhary. I am saying that IMO input's BIT definition should be adequate for 99% of potential users and that I would be OK with moving said BIT definition from input.h to bitops.h and maybe supplementing it with LLBIT. I am also saying that I do not want BITWRAP, BITSWAP (what swap btw?) nor BIT(x % BITS_PER_LONG) in input drivers. -- Dmitry
