I think it is better for readability to leave it as it is; I have reviewed the complaints and these comparisons are in fact all safe (*). For example, consider: if (q->white_strength[ii] == 0.0) The array white_strength is initialized to 0. Then some of the fields are set to some numbers like 100.0 or 60.0. A field that was set to s.th. non-zero will always compare unequal to zero, whereas s.th. left unchanged will always compare equal to 0.0. Arend (*) With the exception 'if (white_score == black_score)' which only affects debugging output (and only marginally so). _______________________________________________ gnugo-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnugo-devel
