Dear Riverful,

Jean's opinion seems that file naming & func naming must match for soruce maintaining, & definitely I agree with that.
I do not agree.
Yes, they _should_ match. That means we should try to acchieve this whenever it makes sense.
But there is no strict must that we need to create a new source file for each and every function. Maintaining tons of tiny files does not make much sense either.
In this case, I agree with Dirk that splitting of a new source file for a small (10 lines or so including comments) function is overkill.
Jean-Christiphe sent a note about this code, and Dirk probvided a reasonable explanation why the code was written as is.
I think that should be enough in this case. From my point of view, the code can go in as is.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
