There's a pretty strange function called context_foil(). In all
but two of the places where it is called it is called with a NULL
argument so it does nothing except set the globals defpath and
context to "/dev/null", and none of these calling programs ever
reference these globals.
But other files in sbr do. This function appears to cause the
.mh_profile and context file to be ignored by some functions. Unless
MHCONTEXT and/or MH are set in the environment.
In post.c, if LIBSW is passed, a dummy context is set up with just a
Path: entry.
So it seems to me that these calls are bogus and can be removed.
Not at all.
Are you using cscope? You should be using a tool like it to check for
side effects. I'm sure there are many in the sbr/ directory.
Thanks.
