Can we do all the computation around previous count in the caller, so that this function only takes reroll_count and previous_count that are both "const char *", and then the body will just be: if (!reroll_count) strbuf_addstr(sb, generic); else if (previous_count) strbuf_addf(sb, rerolled, previous_count); return sb->buf; That way, the callers do not have to prepare two different rerolled template and switch between them based on "is_integer". In other words, they need to care "is_integer" already, so making them responsible for preparing "previous_count" always usable by this function would be a reasonable way to partition the tasks between this callee and the caller. That way, this function do not even need to know about "is_integer" bit. > + if (previous_count && !reroll_count) > + usage(_("previous-count can only used when reroll-count is used")); > + if (reroll_count) { > struct strbuf sprefix = STRBUF_INIT; > - strbuf_addf(&sprefix, "%s v%d", > + char ch; > + size_t i = 0 , reroll_count_len = strlen(reroll_count); > + > + for (; i != reroll_count_len; i++) { > + ch = reroll_count[i]; > + if(!isdigit(ch)) > + break; > + } > + reroll_count_is_integer = i == reroll_count_len ? 1 : 0; Do not reinvent integer parsing. In our codebase, it is far more common (and it is less error prone) to do something like this: char *endp; count = strtoul(reroll_count_string, &endp, 10); if (*endp) { /* followed by non-digit: not an integer */ is_integer = 0; } else { is_integer = 1; if (0 < count) previous_count_string = xstrfmt("%d", count - 1); } And then, you can move the "if previous is there and count is not specified" check after this block, to make sure that a non-integer reroll count is always accompanied by a previous count, for example. > + strbuf_addf(&sprefix, "%s v%s", > rev.subject_prefix, reroll_count); > rev.reroll_count = reroll_count; > rev.subject_prefix = strbuf_detach(&sprefix, NULL); > @@ -2079,8 +2095,9 @@ int cmd_format_patch(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > rev.idiff_oid1 = &idiff_prev.oid[idiff_prev.nr - 1]; > rev.idiff_oid2 = get_commit_tree_oid(list[0]); > rev.idiff_title = diff_title(&idiff_title, reroll_count, > - _("Interdiff:"), > - _("Interdiff against v%d:")); > + reroll_count_is_integer, previous_count, _("Interdiff:"), > + reroll_count_is_integer ? _("Interdiff against v%d:") : > + _("Interdiff against v%s:")); I've touched the calling convention into diff_title() function earlier. > @@ -2098,8 +2115,9 @@ int cmd_format_patch(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > rev.rdiff2 = rdiff2.buf; > rev.creation_factor = creation_factor; > rev.rdiff_title = diff_title(&rdiff_title, reroll_count, > - _("Range-diff:"), > - _("Range-diff against v%d:")); > + reroll_count_is_integer, previous_count, _("Range-diff:"), > + reroll_count_is_integer ? _("Range-diff against v%d:") : > + _("Range-diff against v%s:")); Ditto.
