Re: [U-Boot] Question: is SZ_* going to be removed or not?

Dear Wolfgang Denk,

Dear Reinhard Meyer,

I heard rumors that the SZ_* defines are going to be outphased.

I's on my personal hate list, indeed.

If so, new submissions should not use them anymore, right?

Right.

OK, I can understand that for having a define for each of the 64 possible values (1<<0) .. (1<<63) can be annoying.

Will the preffered methods be xx << 10 for KiB xx << 20 for MiB xx << 30 for GiB and so on?

Or might we have a few macros like

#define KiB(x) ((x) << 10) #define MiB(x) ((x) << 20) and so on?

That would reduce all to about 6 defines.

Best Regards, Reinhard
