It is not necessary to check if value != NULL before calling 'parse_lldiff_command' as there is already a check inside this function. By the way this patch also improves the existing check inside 'parse_lldiff_command' by using: return config_error_nonbool(var); instead of: return error("%s: lacks value", var); Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- diff.c | 11 +++-------- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) This patch series can be applied on "master" on top of my "diff.c: strdup -> xstrdup" patch.
