Hello.

And without duplication:

Similar response as the if/else one on the other thread. Is it really
any significantly better? The 'duplication' here is basically one
liner

Not true, it's 3-liner. I wouldn't bother with one liner.

after the peek/fetch change

The peek/fetch code itself is duplicated. :-/

and when the duplication is minimal,
I usually find it clearer to put the loop condition at the while
clause itself.

No problem, we could just keep an old form of *while* loop.

If you think it's significantly better,

I do hink it avoids duplicating peek/fetch code.

please go ahead and submit the patch but to me the change you're proposing is
basically cosmetic and not even a clearly better one at that.

Should probably look at the resulting assembly to see how much it's differrent.

Thanks.

WBR, Sergei
