Just double checking, as switching from pre-increment to addition can change behavior: In both cases next_idx will have the same value after this line is executed, however validate_idx will not. Prediff start state: validate_idx == 0; Prediff stop state: validate_idx == 1; next_idx == 1; Postdiff start state: validate_idx == 0; Postdiff stop state: validate_idx == 0; next_idx == 1; And another round over at the other end: Prediff start state: validate_idx == 255; Prediff stop state: validate_idx == 256; next_idx == 0; Postdiff start state: validate_idx == 255; Postdiff stop state: validate_idx == 255; next_idx == 0; So, yes, validate_idx will only have a 255 in it in this last case, however the over-all behavior has changed: validate_idx isn't being incremented at all in this line. WARNING: I have NOT looked at the rest of the diff, only at this one line. Nor do I know if validate_idx should or shouldn't be incremented by this line of code. - Cron ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
