No, I don't mean that.  "? TRUE : FALSE" is completely redundant, and I want us to avoid that sort of redundancy.

"had_nodes_dropped" is a boolean value -- that is, a yes/no, true/false flag.

"write_out_rev" is a boolean value -- true/false -- as well.

You want "write_out_rev" to be true if "had_dropped_nodes" is false and false if it is true.  I'm saying simply use the boolean "not" operator to say "use the opposite truth value", like this:

  write_out_rev = ! rb->had_dropped_nodes;

so the statement reads as "write-out-rev = not had dropped nodes", instead of "x ? y : z" which says "if X is true then Y else Z".

Great, thanks.

That all looks good.
