Re: [PATCH] use %p for pointers


%p will do no such thing in the kernel. As for the difference... %x
might happen to work on some architectures (where sizeof(void
*)==sizeof(int)),
but it's not portable _and_ not right. %p is proper C for that...

Ah I see your point, but then again, %lx could have been used. Unless
there is some arch where sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *).

It's really too bad gcc bitches about %#p, because that's arguably The Right
Thing.

ack. Make a bug report perhaps?
