REFTABLE_CALLOC_ARRAY(table_locks, last - first + 1); - for (i = first; i <= last; i++) { - stack_filename(&table_name, st, reader_name(st->readers[i])); + for (i = last + 1; i > first; i--) { + stack_filename(&table_name, st, reader_name(st->readers[i - 1]));I might be missing something, but why not set `i = last` and `i >= first`? It looks like everywhere we reference `i` we subtract one anyways. Since `last` is already at the starting index, it seems it would be a bit more straightforward.You are missing the case where `first == 0`. With `first = 0`, `i >= first` would be truish when `i == 0` and thus we would continue to loop. We then execute `i--`, wrap around, and still have `i >= first`. Thus, an endless loop is born :)
Ah, thanks for explaining! This version of the patch series looks good to me. -Justin
