Subject: [PATCH 03/10] atomic.h : i386 type safety fix
Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2007 14:17:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11712214681364-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11712214684187-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>

atomic.h : i386 type safety fix

This patch removes an explicit cast to an integer type for the result returned
by cmpxchg. It is not per se a problem on the i386 architecture, because
sizeof(int) == sizeof(long), but whenever this code is cut'n'pasted to a
different architecture (which happened at least for x86_64), it would simply
accept passing an atomic64_t value as parameter to cmpxchg, xchg and
add_unless, having 64 bits inputs casted to 32 bits.
