From 26b95137d673d8d6a9a124d433d968e18298f4ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2018 15:27:17 -0700 Subject: proc: skip branch in /proc/*/* lookup Code is structured like this: for ( ... p < last; p++) { if (memcmp == 0) break; } if (p >= last) ERROR OK gcc doesn't see that if if lookup succeeds than post loop branch will never be taken and skip it.
