    What is this doing?

    What is this doing?

    #define BASE_ADDR (ADDR64(ORNAND_BASE_ADDR))

    Where as ADDR64 is a 16 bit hex number and ORNAND_BASE_ADDR is an 8 bit hex number.

    I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind putting a (hexnumber(hexnumber)) format.

    Thanks

    I don't understand exactly what ADDR64 and ORNAND_BASE_ADDR is.
    But the var(num) syntax can be used to initialize a variable with a given value.

    pretend ADDR64 is macro returning a 64bit value... and ORNAND_BASE_ADDR is defined as a 32 bit hex number

    Then it's a macro that takes a given value and casts it to a 64-bit value.
    BASE_ADDR is just a define of a given address that is cast to a 64-bit type.

    It's generally considered rude to bump your threads, especially after less than half an hour has passed.

    Only in C++.
