Re: [PATCH] progress.c: avoid use of dynamic-sized array

Hi,

On Sun, 8 Jun 2008, Boyd Lynn Gerber wrote:

Dynamically sized arrays are gcc and C99 construct.  Using them hurts
portability to older compilers, although using them is nice in this case
it is not desirable.  This patch removes the only use of the construct
in stop_progress_msg(); the function is about writing out a single line
of a message, and the existing callers of this function feed messages
of only bounded size anyway, so use of dynamic array is simply overkill.

Do you really want to have your mail signature in the commit message, 
particularly because...

[...]

 	clear_progress_signal();
 	free(progress->throughput);

You repeat it at the end of the mail anyway?

The patch looks fine to me, though.
