[PATCH v10 1/4] string-list: add string_list initializer helper function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The string-list API has STRING_LIST_INIT_* macros to be used
to define variables with initializers, but lacks functions
to initialise an uninitialized piece of memory to be used as
a string-list at the run-time.
Introduce `string_list_init()` function for that.
