In-Reply-To: <1102155752.1018.7.camel@desktop.cunninghams> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: ncunningham@linuxmail.org Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: The sizeof() is always of 32bits or 4bytes on x86 Architecture, and you can say that it is actually the virtual address size of the Architecture. And unsigned long is actually what I understand is the size which a single architecture can address in a single atempt, like roughly you can say that in x86 architecture long can be accesses in single cycle. By defination, they can be not equal to each other but practically it is same ......... Thanks and Regards, Fawad __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
