Subject: Differences in bitops argument types
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 23:23:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071101222305.GA28830@duck.suse.cz> (raw)
Hello,
I've just found out that operations like constant_test_bit() take pointer
of different types on different architectures. In particular, x86_64,
blackfin and frv take void * while i386, s390 and m68k take unsigned long
*. Is this intended difference? Wouldn't using void * everywhere be more
appropriate? Thanks for answer in advance.
