Hello,
Can anyone explain the logic behind the following block of code from
mtdoops' find_next_position()?
+ for (page = 0; page < cxt->oops_pages; page++) {
+ mtd->read(mtd, page * OOPS_PAGE_SIZE, 4, &retlen, (u_char *) &count);
+ if (count == 0xffffffff)
+ continue;
+ if (maxcount == 0xffffffff) {
+ maxcount = count;
+ maxpos = page;
+ } else if ((count < 0x40000000) && (maxcount > 0xc0000000)) {
+ maxcount = count;
+ maxpos = page;
+ } else if ((count > maxcount) && (count < 0xc0000000)) {
+ maxcount = count;
+ maxpos = page;
+ } else if ((count > maxcount) && (count > 0xc0000000)
+ && (maxcount > 0x80000000)) {
+ maxcount = count;
+ maxpos = page;
+ }
I expected to see something along the lines of the following:
+ if (maxcount == 0xffffffff || count > maxcount) {
+ maxcount = count;
+ maxpos = page;
+ }
Thank you,
-Rick
