Subject: [PATCH 3/3] shorten_unambiguous_ref(): tighten up pointer arithmetic
Date: Wed,  8 Jan 2014 15:43:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389192220-13913-4-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1389192220-13913-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

As long as we're being pathologically stingy with mallocs, we might as
well do the math right and save 6 (!) bytes.

Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

It is left to the reader to show how another 7 bytes could be saved
(11 bytes on a 64-bit architecture!)

It probably wouldn't kill performance to use a string_list here
instead.
