less: rearrange detection of non-regular files
Move the code to detect non-regular files to the point where the file is being opened. If num_lines == READING_FILE guarantees that the file is regular. Detect when a file becomes unreadable between it first being opened and the call to update_num_lines. Mark the file as being non-regular so we don't try that again. function old new delta reinitialize 197 245 +48 update_num_lines 159 127 -32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 48/-32) Total: 16 bytes Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
