[RFC PATCH 3/6] dir-iterator: refactor dir_iterator_advance()

From
PKPlato Kiorpelidis <kioplato@gmail.com>
Date
Apr 10, 2022, 11:18 UTC
Message-ID
<20220410111852.2097418-4-kioplato@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<20220410111852.2097418-1-kioplato@gmail.com>

Simplify dir_iterator_advance by switch from iterative to recursive implementation. In each recursive step one action is performed.

This makes dir-iterator easier to work with, understand and introduce new functionality.
