[PATCH] parameter: strip leading and trailing whitespaces

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

 



My initial bug was the following: I set the
global.boot.default="boot1 boot2 " and executed the 'boot' command. If
both targets are not bootable barebox starts to execute the boot scripts
found under /env/boot. This is because of the command/boot.c
implementation and the leading whitespace. Without the whitespace only
the two desired boot targets are tried.

IMHO leading and trailing whitespaces are error-prone in many cases. If
someone wants to concatenate strings he/she should add spaces on
purpose. So I fixed the bug above globally by always stripping leading
and trailing whitespaces.
