The patch titled tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was tree-wide-convert-open-calls-to-remove-spaces-to-skip_spaces-lib-function.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function From: André Goddard Rosa <andre.goddard@xxxxxxxxx> Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading spaces from strings all over the tree. It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide: text data bss dec hex filename 64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE) 64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER) Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space". Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below, and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files: drivers/leds/led-class.c drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c drivers/video/output.c @@ expression str; @@ ( // ignore skip_spaces cases while (*str && isspace(*str)) { \(str++;\|++str;\) } | - *str && isspace(*str) ) Signed-off-by: André Goddard Rosa <andre.goddard@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "H.
