From ae021d87911da4328157273df24779892cb51277 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 15:47:50 -0400 Subject: use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string. Like: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = atoi(v); continue; } Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- alias.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'alias.c') diff --git a/alias.c b/alias.c index 5efc3d6986..758c867149 100644 --- a/alias.c +++ b/alias.c @@ -5,7 +5,8 @@ static char *alias_val; static int alias_lookup_cb(const char *k, const char *v, void *cb) { - if (starts_with(k, "alias.") && !strcmp(k + 6, alias_key)) { + const char *name; + if (skip_prefix(k, "alias.", &name) && !strcmp(name, alias_key)) { if (!v) return config_error_nonbool(k); alias_val = xstrdup(v); -- cgit v1.2.3
