Modifying or not probably has little to do with why we may want to do this change. Here, we are trying to see which commands that appear in the main_cmds table do not appear in the all_strategy[] table. The way we do so is by iterating over the main_cmds table, and for each of the command, if it is found in the all_strategy[] table. If there is one, then found bit is set. If there isn't, then found bit is left clear. After looping over all_strategy[] table, we act upon the value of the found bit. So, as soon as we find one match in all_strategy[] table and flip the found bit on, in the loop we never clear the bit. So it does make sense to break out of that inner loop once we find a single match. Once we find a match, there is no point to try finding the second match in the inner loop. Break out of the loop once we find the first match. would be a more appropriate explanation. > builtin/merge.c | 7 +++++-- > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/builtin/merge.c b/builtin/merge.c > index 0f093f2a4f2..5ab0feb47b6 100644 > --- a/builtin/merge.c > +++ b/builtin/merge.c > @@ -189,9 +189,12 @@ static struct strategy *get_strategy(const char *name) > int j, found = 0; > struct cmdname *ent = main_cmds.names[i]; > for (j = 0; j < ARRAY_SIZE(all_strategy); j++) > - if (!strncmp(ent->name, all_strategy[j].name, ent->len) > - && !all_strategy[j].name[ent->len]) > + if (!strncmp(ent->name, all_strategy[j].name, > + ent->len) && > + !all_strategy[j].name[ent->len]) { > found = 1; > + break; > + } The above is not wrong per-se, but we can do the same with less damage to the code, e.g. builtin/merge.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git c/builtin/merge.c w/builtin/merge.c index dd474371a2..2437aae6bc 100644 --- c/builtin/merge.c +++ w/builtin/merge.c @@ -188,7 +188,7 @@ static struct strategy *get_strategy(const char *name) for (i = 0; i < main_cmds.cnt; i++) { int j, found = 0; struct cmdname *ent = main_cmds.names[i]; - for (j = 0; j < ARRAY_SIZE(all_strategy); j++) + for (j = 0; !found && j < ARRAY_SIZE(all_strategy); j++) if (!strncmp(ent->name, all_strategy[j].name, ent->len) && !all_strategy[j].name[ent->len]) found = 1; I've mentioned it before, but could you please drop the Rose <83477269+AtariDreams@users.noreply.github.com> address from the Cc: list?
