I made a pass over the v2 patch and since it's been a long time since
I'd looked at partprune.c I ended doing further rewriting of the
comments you'd changed.
There's only one small code change as I didn't like the following:
- return result;
+ /* A single step or no pruning possible with the provided clauses. */
+ return steps ? linitial(steps) : NULL;
I ended up breaking that out into an if condition.
All the other changes are around the comments.
Can you look over this and let me know if you're happy with the changes?
David
