2016-09-29remove unnecessary check before QSORTLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+18
Add a semantic patch for removing checks similar to the one that QSORT already does internally and apply it to the code base. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-09-29add QSORTLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+19
Add the macro QSORT, a convenient wrapper for qsort(3) that infers the size of the array elements and supports the convention of initializing empty arrays with a NULL pointer, which we use in some places. Calling qsort(3) directly with a NULL pointer is undefined -- even with an element count of zero -- and allows the compiler to optimize away any following NULL checks. Using the macro avoids such surprises. Add a semantic patch as well to demonstrate the macro's usage and to automate the transformation of trivial cases.
