Sir,
- The struct bu_vls defines the char * before the string length. While
writing the import function for the annotation primitive, one has to
initialize(calloc) the char array to a corresponding size but the size is
defined later. I checked out the case for other primitives for other
structs as well. In every case the length is defined before the array,
hence the exact space is alloted(malloc or calloc). How to deal with this ?
Can the organisation of the vls_struct be changed?
- Currently there exists no directory for the annotations in
librt/primitives, hence no .patch . How should I submit the functions in
annotation.c for review?
