Subject: Minor optimization in parse_subsystem_tracepoint_event
Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2009 13:25:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200912061825.nB6IPUa1023306@hs20-bc2-1.build.redhat.com> (raw)
Uses of strcat are almost always signs that someone is too lazy to think
about the code a bit more carefully. One always has to know about the
lengths of the strings involved to avoid buffer overflows.
This is one case where the size of the object code for me is reduced by
38 bytes. The code should also be faster, especially if flags is non-NULL.
