Subject: Simplify name_buffer initialization
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e5139500807f95cb64eb3d4a176fbde3a0cc8365;p=thirdparty%2Ftar.git

Simplify name_buffer initialization

* src/names.c (name_init): Remove no-longer-needed initialization
of name_buffer, name_buffer_length.  It was confusing anyway,
since it caused name_buffer_length to not equal the length of
name_buffer.
