Anyway, anonymous unions are supported in icc 9.2+, clang 3.1+ and of course gcc. However, I'll remove this in the next version of this series. > It is fine to use comp_mask to indicate all the fields, no need for > the weird mask1, lets not over complicate things for users. I don't think that's the right thing to do. According to my understanding, the prefix of the extension verb is fully compatible with the old structure. Afterwards, comp_mask has a bit for every new field. mask1 is a new field that indicates which of the "old" values the user is interested in. If we want to be strict with the extension verbs definition, lets keep it all the way. > >> struct verbs_context { >> /* "grows up" - new fields go here */ >> + int (*drv_query_port_ex)(struct ibv_context *context, uint8_t port_num, >> + struct ibv_port_attr_ex *port_attr); >> + int (*lib_query_port_ex)(struct ibv_context *context, uint8_t port_num, >> + struct ibv_port_attr_ex *port_attr); >> struct ibv_ah * (*drv_ibv_create_ah_ex)(struct ibv_pd *pd, >> struct ibv_ah_attr_ex *attr); >> int (*drv_ibv_destroy_flow) (struct ibv_flow *flow); > > I'm not sure what Roland decided to merge, but I am surprised to see > drv_ elements here.
