Subject: Make MAX_SHORT_STRING an implementation detail of the "value" code.
X-Git-Tag: v0.7.3~71
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pspp-builds.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=69dadb9ec8ffda14e4e1758b4cd32b210bd24649

Make MAX_SHORT_STRING an implementation detail of the "value" code.

MAX_SHORT_STRING used to be important.  It was referenced all over the
source tree.  Now, there is little reason for code outside the "value"
code itself to use it.
