From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:55:52 +0000 (-0400) Subject: flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an end X-Git-Url: http://git.alex.org.uk flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an end BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780546 commit 5d30b10bd68df007e7ae21e77d1e0ce184b53040 upstream. Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a different API than was coded up originally. This swaps over to the API that folks apparently need.
