I think in other places we use `_ext` as a suffix. > diff --git a/string-list.h b/string-list.h > index 6c8650efde..ee9922af67 100644 > --- a/string-list.h > +++ b/string-list.h > @@ -281,4 +281,14 @@ int string_list_split(struct string_list *list, const char *string, > */ > int string_list_split_in_place(struct string_list *list, char *string, > const char *delim, int maxsplit); > + > +/* trim() resulting string piece before adding it to the list */ > +#define STRING_LIST_SPLIT_TRIM 01 Another nit: I think nowadays we more often use enums to introduce such flags, where the benefit is improved grouping. Also, I think having `(1 << 0)` as value is slightly more readable. Patrick
