BTW, the whole splitting can be done in a singe loop a-la while (c = s++) { if (c == '(') lvl++; else if (c == ')') lvl--; else if (c == '|' && lvl == 0) /* insert newline and indent */ /* output c */ } No need to seek back and forth in the string. > - expr_gstr_print(sym->rev_dep.expr, r); > - str_append(r, "\n"); > + rev_dep_gstr_print(sym->rev_dep.expr, r); ... and a cleaner fix would be to patch the printer, instead of generating a string representation and converting it.
