[pacman-dev] There is a "problem" with list->prev tail pointer

[Nagy Gabor]

Look at the following code-part:

for(i = list; i; i = i->next) {
        alpm_list_foo(i); /*WARNING!!*/
}

Comment:
So a node in a list (i in the example) is NOT a valid alpm_list_t:
You can do alpm_list_getdata for example, but not alpm_list_add.
This is very confusing to me.
We should somehow differeniate between alpm_list_t and alpm_list_node_t types,
so at least force the compiler to give a warning message.

Bye
