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 --- help.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'help.c') diff --git a/help.c b/help.c index b266b09320..b0f1a69721 100644 --- a/help.c +++ b/help.c @@ -251,11 +251,13 @@ static struct cmdnames aliases; static int git_unknown_cmd_config(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb) { + const char *p; + if (!strcmp(var, "help.autocorrect")) autocorrect = git_config_int(var,value); /* Also use aliases for command lookup */ - if (starts_with(var, "alias.")) - add_cmdname(&aliases, var + 6, strlen(var + 6)); + if (skip_prefix(var, "alias.", &p)) + add_cmdname(&aliases, p, strlen(p)); return git_default_config(var, value, cb); } -- cgit v1.2.3
