From: Karthik Nayak Date: Tue, 05 Jan 2016 08:03:06 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 07/15] ref-filter: skip deref specifier in match_atom_name() Message-ID: <1451980994-26865-8-git-send-email-Karthik.188@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1451980994-26865-1-git-send-email-Karthik.188@gmail.com> In upcoming patches we make calls to match_atom_name() with the '*' deref specifier still attached to the atom name. Subsequent patches will call match_atom_name() with the '*' deref specifier still attached to the atom name so, as a convenience, skip over it on their behalf.
