[tarantool-patches] Re: [PATCH v2] add optional 'chars' param to string.strip functions

[Alexander Turenko]

Hi!

Add the 'lua: ' prefix to the commit message header and try to fit it in
50 symbols, maybe like so:

> lua: add 'chars' param to string.strip functions

The Lua part looks okay, the test looks okay. See comments re C part
below.

WBR, Alexander Turenko.

Please, change to 'Fixes #2977' or 'Closes #2977' to auto-close the
commit.

Also it would be great if you would write docbot comment to allow the
tarantool documentation team to catch the new task when your commit will
land into 2.1 branch. Docs and example:

Move it to src/lua/string.[ch].

Don't forget to change definition here after size_t changes (see below).

Please, use tabs for indent. Consider out C style guide:
https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/1.10/dev_guide/c_style_guide/

1. It seems that it is usual to use size_t for a string length. At least
   lua_tolstring() and strlen() use them. It seems that we should use it
   too.

2. We can make this and the following function static (and also remove
   them from a header).

3. I think a comment would be helpful, at least what is a return value.

4. I think we can name it like lstrip_helper() to highlight the fact
   that it a) is file-level (static); b) has different API from
   string_strip_helper().

Maybe this should be unsigned char?

The same questions as for string_lstrip_helper are applicable here.

This condition is not quite obvious. Can you please comment it?

These function can be removed.

Tabs correctly used at line 51, but spaces are at line 52. Please,
follow our C style guide (it is very similar to Linux Kernel style).

Please add doxygen-style comments (what a function do, what are
parameters and return values). Note: comments should fit into 66
symbols.
