Subject: hweight64
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 11:34:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040217103451.GA440@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)

Hi!

In kgdb patches you change prototype of hweight64. Why that change?

[This patch is reverse]

I do not see what it has to do with kgdb. Its true that result always
fits into int, but I'd be afraid of small sideeffects somewhere...
