I'm really running out of patience. The next to post in the x264 sticky without my permission is going to be striked for rule16 (and since it's going to be me handing out the strike don't bother with an appeal).

The only ones that do not need permission to post there are Sharktooth and all moderators.

In C, the double equal sign == means "is equal to." This is done to distinguish between the equality test and the single = which C uses for assignment. It is easy to get the two confused even when you know what you mean.

Actually, this substitution was in a shell script. I used == because I meant comparison. And that's valid in bash, but apparently not in some other implementations of shell.
