Subject: [RFA] ARI fix: avoid assignment in if clause in xcoffread.c
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:42:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000901cbfe97$9ed7f120$dc87d360$@muller@ics-cnrs.unistra.fr> (raw)

  If I understand the code correctly, this patch
should have no effect, the only thing that could have is
an unnecessary call to strchr.
  The other alternative would be to 
do a
+       if (*name == ':')
+         retrun NULL;
+	  pp = (char *) strchr (name, ':');
+	  if (pp == NULL)
would that be better?
Or this the patch below OK?
