Yes, I hesitated because of the duplicated loop (and I found no
"elegant" macro).
I'm ok with the suggestion, this makes the code simpler.


int
init_cmdline(void)
{
        struct testpmd_commands *c;
        unsigned int count;
        unsigned int i;

        /* initialize non-constant commands */
        cmd_set_fwd_mode_init();
        cmd_set_fwd_retry_mode_init();

        count = 0;
        for (i = 0; builtin_ctx[i] != NULL; i++, count++)
                ;
        TAILQ_FOREACH(c, &commands_head, next) {
                for (i = 0; c->commands[i].ctx != NULL; i++, count++)
                        ;
        }

        /* cmdline expects a NULL terminated array */
        main_ctx = calloc(count + 1, sizeof(main_ctx[0]));
        if (main_ctx == NULL)
                return -1;

        count = 0;
        for (i = 0; builtin_ctx[i] != NULL; i++, count++)
                main_ctx[count] = builtin_ctx[i];
        TAILQ_FOREACH(c, &commands_head, next) {
                for (i = 0; c->commands[i].ctx != NULL; i++, count++)
                        main_ctx[count] = c->commands[i].ctx;
        }

        return 0;
}
