I'll readily admit that I had the exact same reaction when I first saw this construct. >From an objective code-readability standpoint it's probably a bad idiom. While it is definitely concise, the syntax gives no hint as to its intent, and it's often unnecessary. This and the dozen other instances of !! in our code should probably be eliminated or replaced with a macro. TO_BOOLEAN, perhaps? _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
