Often we use "el" (or "elem") for elements of an iterable we are iterating on in a loop, and the name of the iterable does not have to be EsomethingLsomething, by the way. Because no existing use of "el" in this file is of that kind, I do not think this change introduces new confusion to the code. > Signed-off-by: Adam Spiers <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > dir.c | 10 +++++----- > dir.h | 4 ++-- > 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/dir.c b/dir.c > index c9f341a..57a5d11 100644 > --- a/dir.c > +++ b/dir.c > @@ -311,7 +311,7 @@ static int no_wildcard(const char *string) > } > > void add_exclude(const char *string, const char *base, > - int baselen, struct exclude_list *which) > + int baselen, struct exclude_list *el) > { > struct exclude *x; > size_t len; > @@ -346,8 +346,8 @@ void add_exclude(const char *string, const char *base, > x->nowildcardlen = simple_length(string); > if (*string == '*' && no_wildcard(string+1)) > x->flags |= EXC_FLAG_ENDSWITH; > - ALLOC_GROW(which->excludes, which->nr + 1, which->alloc); > - which->excludes[which->nr++] = x; > + ALLOC_GROW(el->excludes, el->nr + 1, el->alloc); > + el->excludes[el->nr++] = x; > } > > static void *read_skip_worktree_file_from_index(const char *path, size_t *size) > @@ -389,7 +389,7 @@ int add_excludes_from_file_to_list(const char *fname, > const char *base, > int baselen, > char **buf_p, > - struct exclude_list *which, > + struct exclude_list *el, > int check_index) > { > struct stat st; > @@ -436,7 +436,7 @@ int add_excludes_from_file_to_list(const char *fname, > if (buf[i] == '\n') { > if (entry != buf + i && entry[0] != '#') { > buf[i - (i && buf[i-1] == '\r')] = 0; > - add_exclude(entry, base, baselen, which); > + add_exclude(entry, base, baselen, el); > } > entry = buf + i + 1; > } > diff --git a/dir.h b/dir.h > index a226fbc..549a187 100644 > --- a/dir.h > +++ b/dir.h > @@ -117,10 +117,10 @@ extern int path_excluded(struct path_exclude_check *, const char *, int namelen, > > > extern int add_excludes_from_file_to_list(const char *fname, const char *base, int baselen, > - char **buf_p, struct exclude_list *which, int check_index); > + char **buf_p, struct exclude_list *el, int check_index); > extern void add_excludes_from_file(struct dir_struct *, const char *fname); > extern void add_exclude(const char *string, const char *base, > - int baselen, struct exclude_list *which); > + int baselen, struct exclude_list *el); > extern void free_excludes(struct exclude_list *el); > extern int file_exists(const char *); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
