It looks like we advance "entry" here, not "buf", and then iterate over "buf". But I think that makes the later logic weird: if (entry != buf + i && entry[0] != '#') because if there is a BOM, we end up with "entry > buf + i", which I think this code isn't expecting. I'm not sure it does anything bad, but I think it might be simpler as just: /* save away the "real" copy for later, as we do now */ el->filebuf = buf; /* * now pretend as if the BOM was not there at all by advancing * the pointer and shrinking the size */ skip_utf8_bom(&buf, &size); /* * and now we do our usual magic with "entry" */ entry = buf; for (i = 0; i < size; i++) ... -Peff -- 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
