Dear Jerry Van Baren,
In message 4AA6C913.7000004@ge.com you wrote:
I'd just like to add that you also never know if SZ_1M is 1024*1024 or 1000*1000.
I do like this (from the email link): (31 * 1024 * 1024). And it appears not to give Wolfgang indigestion :)
It is probably the preferred form in many cases, line length permitting :-) "31 << 20" is a bit shorter, but it's just a personal
s/3// ;-)
No. I intended to state that "31 << 20" is a bit shorter than "(31 * 1024 * 1024)".
With your substitution, it would also be much less :-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
