That's hardly going to be measurable compared to the file I/O and malloc/realloc stuff - Especially when you see that create_list is only used on conffiles, E.G. files of typically only a few lines, and it's only called twice doing an install/remove. My bet is that most of the time will be spent on file I/O, decompression and running pre/postinst scripts. Robert> IMHO, not worth the saved bytes to torture the logic that way. I disagree. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
