From f653398c86a1c104f0992bd788dd4bb065449be4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Andr=C3=A9=20Goddard=20Rosa?= Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:01:04 -0800 Subject: string: factorize skip_spaces and export it to be generally available MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On the following sentence: while (*s && isspace(*s)) s++; If *s == 0, isspace() evaluates to ((_ctype[*s] & 0x20) != 0), which evaluates to ((0x08 & 0x20) != 0) which equals to 0 as well. If *s == 1, we depend on isspace() result anyway. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space", so remove this check. Also, *s != 0 is most common case (non-null string). Fixed const return as noticed by Jan Engelhardt and James Bottomley. Fixed unnecessary extra cast on strstrip() as noticed by Jan Engelhardt.
