[patch] riptide: clean up while loop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If getpaths() returned an odd number this would be a buffer under-run and an 
endless loop.  It turns out that getpaths() can only return even numbers, but 
let's make it easy for people auditing code.  With the new code you don't 
need to look at getpaths().

This silences a smatch warning.
