Re: [PATCH] 2.4.21-rc1 pointless IDE noise reduction

Hi !

Well, although I usually don't like these endless coding-style threads, why
don't you simply use this common form ? :

    return !!(foo & MASK);

I found that the compilers like it much and easily emit conditionnal set
instructions. Eg, on x86, this should be something like :

   testl MASK, foo
   setnz retcode

Cheers,
Willy
