I think I see what you're trying to do here. Use result_base as a
"marker" or the base value?
But I'd say it makes the code harder to follow. It looks like this:
result_base = NULL;
result = NULL;
result_base = result
lock()
for ...
/* search logic */
unlock()
if (result == result_base)
ifp = result
else
ifp = NULL
return NULL
This would be a lot simpler, and functionally equivalent:
result = NULL
lock()
for ...
/* search logic */
unlock()
return result
Right?
