Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix LIST_INSERT breakage
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2004 15:36:58 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040328233658.GA23295@linuxace.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20040328184053.GY7039@sunbeam.de.gnumonks.org>

LIST_INSERT takes a 'cmpfn' argument, and is used pre-change:

-	for (__i = (head)->next;				\
-	     !cmpfn((new), (typeof (new))__i) && __i != (head);	\
-	     __i = __i->next);					\

but not post-change:

+	list_for_each(__i, (head))				\
+		if ((new), (typeof (new))__i)			\  <---
+			break;					\

'if (cmpfn((new), ......' is probably what was intended?

But either way, it is unused and thus moot.
