Also, this code would read better with the inner test
reversed or done first
if (indx_offset < 0) {
if (indx_offset != -EDOM)
goto out_err;
indx = 0;
} else {
indx = regs_get_register(etc...)
}
or
if (indx_offset == -EDOM)
indx = 0;
else if (indx_offset < 0)
goto err;
Or goto out_err;
else
indx = regs_get_register(etc...)
The compiler should generate the same code in any
case, but either could improve reader understanding.
Also, it may be a tweak more efficient to handle the most likely runtime
case in the conditional stack first (whichever that may be).
