[PATCH 4/8] longest_ancestor_length(): explicitly filter list before loop

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Sep 26, 2012, 19:34 UTC
Message-ID
<1348688090-13648-5-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<1348688090-13648-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Separate the step of filtering and normalizing elements of the prefixes list from the iteration that looks for the longest prefix. This will help keep the function testable after we not only normalize the paths, but also convert them into real paths.
