Only check for ',' explicitly and handle both ')' and '\0' in the else branch. strcspn() can only return ',', ')' and '\0' at this point so the new code is completely equivalent to what we had before. This also fixes following GCC warning: setup.c: In function ‘get_pathspec’: setup.c:207:8: warning: ‘nextat’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] setup.c:205:15: note: ‘nextat’ was declared here Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This removes the only warning that currently occurs when building the next branch.
