Review: Abstain I might not be able to review this fully before next month, sorry. I did take a look at the byte order conversion however (which I commented on before) and it looks good. One remark: > === modified file 'libcore/builder.c' > --- libcore/builder.c 2012-05-12 10:21:32 +0000 > +++ libcore/builder.c 2012-07-07 13:54:21 +0000 > @@ -1556,6 +1611,68 @@ > + // host to network byte order transform > + convert_byte_order(list_content, item_count, item_size, true); ... > + /* network to host byte order transform */ > + convert_byte_order(buffer, actual_count, item_size, false); There are at least two ways to make such code more self-documenting, and thus get rid of the comments: - Introduce constants for the boolean switches, e.g. enum cbo_flags { CBO_HTON = true, CBO_NTOH = false } - Write wrapper functions that pass true or false -- https://code.launchpad.net/~hipl-core/hipl/hipv2-modularization/+merge/113825 Your team HIPL core team is subscribed to branch lp:hipl.
