529	Simplify list_foreach iteration	Jiri Svoboda		"Currently list_foreach presents a link_t * as an iterator. This leads to almost any list_foreach loop over a list of {{{foo_t}}} to look like this:

{{{
list_foreach(list, link) {
    foo_t *foo = list_get_instance(link, foo_t, link_field);
    ... use foo ...
}
}}}

therefore it would make sense to simplify the syntax to either:

{{{
list_foreach(list, foo_t, foo, link_field) {
   ... use foo ...
}
}}}

or

{{{
list_foreach(list, link_field, foo_t, foo) {
   ... use foo ...
}
}}}

the only downside being, one has to remember the correct order of four arguments. 

Please let me know your comments on this proposal."	enhancement	closed	minor		helenos/unspecified	mainline	fixed
