In record_author_date() & parse_gpg_output(), the callers of starts_with() not just want to know if the string starts with the prefix, but also can benefit from knowing the string that follows the prefix. By using skip_prefix(), we can do both at the same time.

This is in respect to GSoC microproject #10. In record_author_date(), extra and useless calls to strlen due to using starts_with() were removed by using skip_prefix(). Extra variable "ident_line" was used as "buf" is used in for loop update check. Other usages of starts_with() in the same file can be found with, $ grep -n starts_with commit.c 1116: else if (starts_with(line, gpg_sig_header) && 1196: if (starts_with(buf, sigcheck_gpg_status[i].check + 1)) { The starts_with() in line 1116 was left as it is, as strlen values were pre computed as global variables, and replacing may hamper the clarity. The starts_with() in line 1196 was replaced as it abstracts way the skip_prefix part by directly using the function. Also skip_prefix() is inline when compared to starts_with(). --- commit.c | 14 ++++++-------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/commit.c b/commit.c index 6bf4fe0..d37675c 100644 --- a/commit.c +++ b/commit.c @@ -548,7 +548,7 @@ define_commit_slab(author_date_slab, unsigned long); static void record_author_date(struct author_date_slab *author_date, struct commit *commit) { - const char *buf, *line_end; + const char *buf, *line_end, *ident_line; char *buffer = NULL; struct ident_split ident; char *date_end; @@ -566,14 +566,14 @@ static void record_author_date(struct author_date_slab *author_date, buf; buf = line_end + 1) { line_end = strchrnul(buf, '\n'); - if (!starts_with(buf, "author ")) { + ident_line = skip_prefix(buf, "author "); + if (!ident_line) { if (!line_end[0] || line_end[1] == '\n') return; /* end of header */ continue; } if (split_ident_line(&ident, - buf + strlen("author "), - line_end - (buf + strlen("author "))) || + ident_line, line_end - ident_line) || !ident.date_begin || !ident.date_end) goto fail_exit; /* malformed "author" line */ break; @@ -1193,10 +1193,8 @@ static void parse_gpg_output(struct signature_check *sigc) for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(sigcheck_gpg_status); i++) { const char *found, *next; - if (starts_with(buf, sigcheck_gpg_status[i].check + 1)) { - /* At the very beginning of the buffer */ - found = buf + strlen(sigcheck_gpg_status[i].check + 1); - } else { + found = skip_prefix(buf, sigcheck_gpg_status[i].check + 1); + if(!found) { found = strstr(buf, sigcheck_gpg_status[i].check); if (!found) continue; -- 1.9.0 -- 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
