You --being the maintainer-- could of course change the names to
something more sensible...

...A struct could be used to reduce the number of pushes/pops.
(This would add a level of indirection to references though...)

``procdata->raw_string'' and ``procdata->munged_string''?

OTOH, one could use global variables and dispense with parameters /and/
indirect references. (If you aren't planning on ever having a multi-
threaded locate, this might speed things up some more...)


L8r, HAN2005,

Buzz.

BTW: Why don't you allow ``locate -b string''?

BTW2: Why don't you document ``locate -S'' (with an ``itemx'')?

BTW3: sed -i -e 's/ filly/ fully/' doc/find.texi

BTW4: Although I like the source comment (about adding visit_exists
late), I don;t think I deserve the credit for this. The info/man text
about --existing seem (to me) to express an intent to do it this way.

BTW5: Could you mail me (PM OK) some info about GNU copyright-
assignments/disclaimers? I have more mods, not all as small as the last
ones. (Sorry to bother you about this, but searching the web seems to
indicate you _are_ the person to ask.)
