I’d rather question the necessity of adding a new variable just
to hold the “boolean.” Why not simply:
- if (sp = X_db_lookup(&db_symtabs[i], sym_name)) {
+ sp = X_db_lookup(&db_symtabs[i], sym_name);
+ if (sp) {
(Or perhaps sp != 0, or similar.)
PS. Even though I like it with just the extra parenthesis.
