Should not the second argument to apr_brigade_create be named "bucket_alloc", rather than "list".
It was supposed to mean "freelist". It got its name before we came up with a name for the bucket allocator (cleverly named bucket_alloc).
In other words, sure, go ahead, rename it.
The mnemonic b is widely used for both buckets and brigades.
Buckets and brigades both have a field named "list", but one is a doubly linked list and the other is one of the many flavors of heap.
It's impossible to change the name of the field in buckets to something else because that's a public interface.
Right?
Just maybe, it could it be argued that the list field in buckets is so very unlikely to be toy'd with by anything upstream, it could change.
#define list bucket_alloc /* ;-) */
