This function is used just in one place to set the transaction flag. It
was thought to be generic, but the state is already saved using
set_/get_state, and this function is just a wrapper for bootloader
accessors, doing also some dangerous type conversion. This patch cleans
this up and calls directly the functions to access the bootloader's
environment.

Hm, can you explain why you also removed unset_state()?

We have only save_state() and get_state() left in include/state.h now.

Calling bootloader_env_unset() like in core/stream_interface.c
breaks the (persistent) state abstraction by directly calling the
bootloader implementation.
So, I think either unset_state() needs to be reintroduced or, for
consistency, the whole state abstraction be removed?


Kind regards,
   Christian

It was dead code.

Nevertheless, it was a wrapper to set the transaction marker (the 
"recovery" variable), that is unrelated to the state. Even to remove 
double conversion to strings, setting the marker is done by calling the 
bootloader function.

Right, but we have currently just these use cases. unset() was unused.

Well, the use case is to set a marker in the bootloader environment.

The state abstraction is used to set the state (often the variable 
"ustate") independently from the bootloader. The unset() was just used 
for the marker and not for the state. If it will be in future a 
persistent state outside the bootloader environment, I do not know, but 
I do not see reasons to remove the abstractions.

Stefano

Thanks! I was a bit confused by the commit message not mentioning the
dead code removal ― although it does make sense here with your
explanations... Sorry for the noise :)

No problem - we can reintegrate an unset() function at any moment if we
will have a use case.
