Hi, you are right. PFA a patch for unit tests i added that can maybe go in when fold moves from pending??, the main intention is to discuss what i was unable to communicate(limitation on my part), i added a comment too so if anyone can cross check , that would be helpful ________________________________ From: Samuel Holland <sam...@sholland.org> Sent: Monday, August 27, 2018 10:28 PM To: haroon maqsood; toybox@lists.landley.net Subject: Re: [Toybox] [PENDING] [fold.c] [Question]
