questions about code

[Carlos Montiers]

Hello. Very thanks so much for this library.
I learning a lot reading the code. And I want use this library for a project.

I have a question?
in bsafe.c what are redundant assignments like this?:

char * strcat (char dst, const char src) {
dst = dst;
src = src;

I'm curious about it. For me it are unnecesary, for sure it have a purpose.

Also I found some evaluations repited in bstrlib.c:

line 1783, 1784, 1831, 1832, 1869, 1870:
repited expression: b->mlen <= 0

Also, this project have a repository for get the last version in development?.

Carlos.

These are to shut up the compiler warnings that parameters are not being used. In Visual C++ there is a way to do this by omitting the parameter name in the implementation arguments, but gcc doesn't like this. So the method used, is the one that works on all compilers without issue.

The Better String Library is basically stable at this point, so there have been no updates to it for a while. The latest code you see here, is in fact, the latest available version as of this moment.

Though the redundant b->mlen <= 0 are good catches. I may do an update for this. Thanks for the heads up.
