Blame the code, not your eyes. The use of the term 'hit' is what
makes this loop confusing. It gives the impression that 'hit' gets
set once, after the first newline is /hit/.
It would be much easier to read if it was written like this:
int last_char_was_nl = 0;
for (i = len - 1; i > 0; i--) {
this_char_is_nl = (buf[i] == '\n');
if (last_char_was_nl && this_char_is_nl)
break;
last_char_was_nl = this_char_is_nl;
}
I'll slide this in when I resubmit this series with your suggestions.
