So it's fine as-is. Yes, that's a good idea - I'll make it return number of elements - I think I could acutaly make use of that elsewhere already. > > + int virHashRemoveSet(virHashTablePtr table, virHashSearcher iter, virHashDeallocator f, const void *data) { > > + int i; > > + > > + } > > Iterating when removing entries which are first in the list is a bit tricky > but that's looks fine. Yeah, that's why i wrote a dedicated method for iterating & removing in one go - calling 'virHashRemove' from the normal iterator just caused very bad things to happen :-)
