That might be a more exact name.
"Closure" has all sorts of baggage for different people that I would rather not invoke. In particular the context/data/whatever structure does not contain any reference to the hook function, so in my book calling it a closure would be confusing; it's really only part of a closure, namely the set of associated free variables. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
