Or that the function is buggy. :) I'm tempted to say that we should probably die() when read_tree_recursive fails. This should only happen if we fail to parse the tree, or if our callback (save_files_dirs here) returns failure, and the latter looks like it never happens. > Since the debug output has been removed and the caller isn't > checking the return value there is no reason to keep calulating > and returning a value. Agreed, and I'm happy to see dead code go. Minor nit: s/calulating/calculating/ in your commit message. -Peff
