The Static Analysis tool Coverity added that large objects such as CacheRequest and CacheRequestOrVoid are passed by value in: >> bool IsHeadRequest(CacheRequestOrVoid aRequest, CacheQueryParams aParams) and >> bool IsHeadRequest(CacheRequest aRequest, CacheQueryParams aParams) this can be optimized by passing pointer to that object, thus only passing 4 bytes or 32 bit architecture and 8 bytes on 64 bit architecture.

Comment on attachment 8715866 [details] [diff] [review] repalce pass by value with pass by pointer in IsHeadRequest Any reason why passing the value by reference wouldn't be a better option here? It would make the patch much smaller, and it'd ensure you never get null unless someone goes out of their way...

Hello Johnny, No reason in particular, is just i'm more biased towards using pointers than references. I've updated the patch accordingly.
