What's your point?
Don't diss fixups entirely: hitting an "expensive bodge" once in a while can be The Right Thing(tm). In some cases it's cheaper than testing multiple conditions on each iteration of a loop. Using fixups can also result in shorter code that is easier to audit for correctness and easier to maintain. (I'm thinking particularly of streaming data here). -Chris _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
