You forgot to mention that there is 3., which is that you just closed the door for a new valid_atom[] that begins with substring "symref" which does not need to flip need_symref on, I think. You can check valid_atom[i].name with strcmp() to achieve what you are trying to do here, instead of checking used_atom[at].name, and I think that would be a cleaner way to avoid all three problems. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
