That said, it was actually supposed to be a good thing to cache the last positions in all files, to make simple iteration faster. If we drop it, then we always have to find the location where we are first, which is O(log(n)) rather than O(1) as before. Now, the real fix is probably to reset the location as soon as we "change direction" during traversal. But for that we'd have to remember the last direction... Anyway, I'll commit your fix for now, given that O(log(n)) isn't so much worse than O(1), and I want to get a new release out, but I will leave this bug open, to look into this, add a comment about this and add a TODO item, so I really won't forget... BTW, I greatly appreciate the patches from you! It's awesome getting bug reports plus the right patches all the time. That's awesome! Thanks a ton!</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
