True enough. I personally do not mind any of the three variants
(including the original) and would rather not spend too much time
micro-optimizing this codepath, lest the next clever person starts
to turn the loop in for_each_loose_file_in_objdir() to a nested loop
that runs 16 times each to avoid copying the same leading byte again
and again ;-)
*evil grin*
Anyway, I agree that this patch is not worth spending much time on. I
still think the result is cleaner (perhaps due to my strbuf_addf
allergy), though it's longer and perhaps adding a twelfth variable makes
the function too complicated. The magic chomping variant is a clever
compromise -- but needs a comment to explain itself. So if you are
indifferent please just drop it.
Thanks,
René
