From 5d30b10bd68df007e7ae21e77d1e0ce184b53040 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:55:52 -0400 Subject: flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an end Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a different API than was coded up originally. This swaps over to the API that folks apparently need.
