This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
it 1138 times (:-() in casts and a few more times in declarations.
This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
don't go away when the kernel is compiled with -O.
The functions are backed up by extern versions in cd9660_util.c,
but these versions are disabled by `#ifdef __notanymore__'. They
could have been enabled by using `#if defined(__notanymore__) ||
!defined(__OPTIMIZE__)' but then I would have had to check that
they still work. The correct way to handle all this is to replace
`extern inline' by `EXTERN_INLINE' and define `EXTERN_INLINE' as
`extern inline' in most modules and as empty in one module.
(original "High Sierra") CD format. I've already implemented this for
1.1.5.1 (and posted to -hackers), but didn't get any response to it.
Perhaps i'm the only one who has such an old CD lying around...
Everything is done empirically, but i had three of them around (from
different vendors), so there's a high probability that i've got it
right. :)
device block which was stopping symbolic links working.
cd9660_readdir was incorrectly casting a pointer to the d_namlen field of a
struct dirent to a (u_short*) which caused the directory entries "." and ".."
to read incorrectly.
