quoth Richard A. O'Keefe, ...
(This actually strikes me as a flaw in Mac OS X: `typedef unsigned long tcflag_t;' should have been `typedef uint32_t tcflag_t;' because there's no _reason_ for the field size to change this way.)
True, it's crazy to have structures changing size like that when the effective size of each field is fixed per standard.
For what it's worth, this like many other things was inherited from FreeBSD. (See /usr/include/sys/_termios.h therein, which I chased down from /usr/include/termios.h.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
