Ah, nice one! Returning the pointer into the table is a much nicer way
of doing things.

+ if (decompose && (dstr = decompose_unichar(c, &dsize))) {
+ if (outlen + dsize > HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN)
break;
do {
- ustr->unicode[outlen++] = cpu_to_be16(hfsplus_decompose_table[off++]);
- } while (--size > 0);
- continue;
- }
- done:
- ustr->unicode[outlen++] = cpu_to_be16(c);
+ ustr->unicode[outlen++] = cpu_to_be16(*dstr++);
+ } while (--dsize > 0);

Andrew's comments about the loop in the second patch apply here too, I
think. The original code did have a check for this condition, so I
guess it is a potential problem. How about this (on top of your
version of the patches):

I'm using gmail to send this, so it will mess up the tabs I'm afraid :(

bye, Roman

Cheers,
