Hi Yao,

I am not 100% sure this is ideal approach. Your comment say:

> +  /* If non-null, the pointer to a flag indicates that this function is being

> +  int *called;

But in practice, this is pointer that points to notification that must be supressed when this
command is running. So, at least the comment is misleading. And if some other code will
want to check whether the current command is A, it would have to look at notification
flags.

So, at the very least, this field should have a different name, I think.

Thanks,
