Yes, I believe so. I originally used it, before adding the "if (p[1] && !SEP_CHAR(p[1]))" code within the while statement. It was used walk backwards, since the base pointer would walk off the end of the string in cases like:
/usr/local/ Now, base will be 'local/' since I do not walk the base pointer, until there is something 'useful' past the current part.
So, yes, we can drop the var, and it's initialization, it is not needed any more. Also, the param _name can simply be changed to name like Lukas mentioned.
Jim.
