Hi Fabio and Julia, Thank you very much for looking at my changes. On Thu, 2021-10-28 at 13:21 +0200, Fabio M. De Francesco wrote:
Hi Karolina, I think you are using redundant parentheses in "* (data ++)" but understand that those increments and dereferences are equivalent to "* data ++" (according to the C precedence rules).
Yes, I added them on purpose to improve readability (+ that's also my preference anyway)
While we are at it, please notice that Maintainers of different subsystems may see this topic from a different point of view and that they might very well ask you for removing those redundant parentheses.
I understand, thanks for letting me know. On Thu, 2021-10-28 at 13:32 +0200, Julia Lawall wrote:
Would it be better as data[i] ? Could there be a better name than "data"? Perhaps "table"?
Hmm, now when I'm thinking about, it indeed looks like a better option. I would even say that `data` (or `table`/`init_table`) can be only used in the AL7320 case and we can go with `al2230_init_table` for AL2230. The line would be 61 characters long, way below the limit. What do you think? Many thanks, Karolina
