Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/3] powerpc/ps3: refactor strncpy usage attempt 2
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 21:19:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230811-strncpy-arch-powerpc-platforms-ps3-v1-2-301052a5663e@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230811-strncpy-arch-powerpc-platforms-ps3-v1-0-301052a5663e@google.com>
This approach tries to use `make_field` inside of `make_first_field`.
This comes with some weird implementation as to get the same result we
need to first subtract `index` from the `make_field` result whilst being
careful with order of operations. We then have to add index back.
The behavior should be the same but would love some comments on this.
Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>

Note: I swapped the position of the two methods so as to not have to
forward declare `make_field`. This results in a weird diff here.
