Well, this is just a simple C question about the code of Minix.

Can anybody tell me what does this instruccion means ?

" r = (rp - proc) - NR_TASKS  "

rp is a pointer to a structure of type proc and proc is the table of
procedures... =) I passed two days trying to figure out what does that
instruction mean and I am still in the dark... If somebody has the
patiente to answer this question I will be real happy for that.

Thanks

May
