I guess we'd prefer to avoid that, because it incurs an extra memmove() of the data. Similarly, I'd think this could share code with the non-gentle form (which should be able to just call this and die() if returns an error). Though sometimes the va_list transformation makes that awkward. -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
