X-Git-Tag: v0.4.1~4 X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.michael.orlitzky.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cb2ef6b2386de44200124904c7a03ce8512f3585;p=apply-default-acl.git src/libadacl.c: simplify the "." and ".." path handling. The initial fix for the path arguments "." and ".." was a little hacky, but necessary to get the test suite passing. Now the logic is a little cleaner, and both paths are handled in one special-case rather than two separate "if" statements. --- diff --git a/src/libadacl.c b/src/libadacl.c index 911e69a..8ff0c17 100644 --- a/src/libadacl.c +++ b/src/libadacl.c @@ -1004,24 +1004,18 @@ int apply_default_acl(const char* path, bool recursive) { } char* parent = dirname(dirname_path_copy); - /* Just kidding, if the path is ".", then dirname will do the wrong - * thing and give us "." as its parent, too.
