Yeah, this one should be exempt from our ternary operator rule. The idea behin the rule is to avoid complicated (or even composed) expressions with a ternary operator. However, this is not the case and in fact, ternary operator makes the code more readable. And we already use this pattern for formatting other booleans, indeed. We may switch to virTristateBool but one can argue that FLC is not really tristate, it's either present or not; there's no _ABSENT state. On the other hand, we may assign _ABSENT special meaning - the structure was just allocated and does not hold decisive answer for FLC presence. So let me switch to virTristateBool. BTW: I've discussed with Yang that I'll fix up these patches and resend. Is that agreement still on? Michal
