Re: [LTP] [PATCH] Add new testcases for ext4 new features

[Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz>]

Hi!
Here comes just a few comments of some parts of the code (sorry for commenting
old patch, the original mail just got stuck, thus resending).

Global variables should be declared as static, otherwise compiler losts track
of unused global variables and doesn't warn you about them.

This is just easier and cleaner with defining field of strings (char *) and
looping trough them. Eg:

#define NPARAMS 4

const char *params[NPARAMS] = {"chmod", "chown", "read", "write"};

for (i = 0; i < NPARAMS; i++)
        if (!strcmp(argv[1], params[i})
                break;

Now you have number of selected param in variable i, so traditionall switch()
could be used. Or if called functions have similar type, array of pointers to
them is even easier.

const void (*(func[NPARAMS])(void) = {test_chmod, test_chown, ...};

Hmm, man 3 free says "if ptr is NULL, no operation is performed"

> +     } while (0)                             \

Macro in lowercase is usually considered to be bad practise.
