Can you remove the camel-case here please?



That's code I just moved around... Will do, sir.


Can't do that, sorry. The global symbol "BootFile" has been defined 
somewhere else and it's used all over the place.

Do you need to do this if you eventually later figure out you have no
apply()
callback and you did this for no reason?


You mean calling process_var()? It's two separate things.

One, filter out the variables that were not asked to be processed, if
there were any (call to process_var())
Two, check whether the new value is acceptable and/or apply it (call
apply())
You could have none, either, or both.

Or else, if you mean moving the e.key = name, e.data = value
assignments, you're right, they should be moved down (but in that case
it would be because the apply function fails, not because it's not
present -- default case is always successful).


Hhmm... sorry, the assignments need to stay where they are.
Values in e.key and e.data are used by hsearch_r() within the if statement.

Ah, it just came to me.

On the other hand, I have this strange feeling lib/hashtable.c is so modified 
for uboot it can't be used (in a generic way) for any other storage than env 
... 
or am I wrong?

WD, can you comment please?

Why ask, if you already know the answer? :-)

I'm not a big fan either, seemed like the easiest approach at the time.
The idea was to keep the hastable (struct hsearch_data) as decoupled as
possible from the environment (env_htab which is, in fact, the only
instance of struct hsearch_data).

What if the function pointer was stored within the hastable itself?
Sort of a virtual method.
This way we get rid of the typedef and the function pointer as a
parameter altogether.
The callback parameter then just becomes a boolean value (meaning,
do/don't call the callback function stored within the hashtable itself).
I like that much better. What do you think?


Don't we always use only one (this callback) function?


Yes, but only because env is the only hashtable present.
Is that a yes or a no, then?


Do we expect any more hashtables in the near future ?


I don't think so. Anyway I would rather avoid calling functions 
belonging to the environment domain from the hastable domain directly.
For that matter, we have a single "struct hsearch_data" instance in the 
whole project, but we keep passing it around as an argument to the 
hashtable functions.

Gerlando

Do you need to do this if you eventually later figure out you have no apply()
callback and you did this for no reason?


You mean calling process_var()? It's two separate things.

One, filter out the variables that were not asked to be processed, if 
there were any (call to process_var())
Two, check whether the new value is acceptable and/or apply it (call 
apply())

You could have none, either, or both.

Or else, if you mean moving the e.key = name, e.data = value 
assignments, you're right, they should be moved down (but in that case 
it would be because the apply function fails, not because it's not 
present -- default case is always successful).

What I meant was that it seems like it you could put more characters
on each line, and then would take up less vertical space. You could
also use the doxygen @param formal to make it quicker for people to
read.

Packaging up a lot of zero arguments to a function does chew up code space.

ARMv7. Ideally if your feature is optional it shouldn't add much size
when it is turned off.

Please use proper indentation for it, even if it exceeds the line

yeah, it seems like these new params are only used when 
CONFIG_CMD_DEFAULTENV_VARS is defined.  which means for most people i think, 
this is unused bloat :(.  i wonder if we can do better somehow without having

What is vars? Is it a NULL terminated list of string pointers? Please
document. But actually you already have function comments in the C
file so I think you should either add your comments there or (better
in my view but I may be alone) move the comments to the header file.

blank line here. Can part of this function be #ifdefed to reduce code
size when the feature is not required?
