Subject: * alloc.c (discard_killed_buffers): Tune and simplify a bit.
X-Git-Tag: emacs-24.2.90~316
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5779a1dc62593be8294edaecfecca4359be9ab4e;p=emacs.git

* alloc.c (discard_killed_buffers): Tune and simplify a bit.

Use pointer-to-a-pointer to simplify and avoid a NILP check each
time an item is removed.  No need to mark this function 'inline';
the compiler knows better than we do.
