Dear diary, on Fri, Jun 23, 2006 at 03:32:27PM CEST, I got a letter where Petr Baudis <pasky@xxxxxxx> said that... > diff --git a/git-compat-util.h b/git-compat-util.h > index 5d543d2..e954002 100644 > --- a/git-compat-util.h > +++ b/git-compat-util.h > @@ -36,9 +36,13 @@ #endif > #endif > > /* General helper functions */ > -extern void usage(const char *err) NORETURN; > -extern void die(const char *err, ...)

Below is a patch without the externs removed. Sorry about the noise. > int error(const char *err, ...) > { > va_list params; > + int ret; > > va_start(params, err); > - report("error: ", err, params); > + ret = error_routine(err, params); > va_end(params); > - return -1; > + return ret; > } BTW, I don't mind if you just force the return value to -1 here. It might be saner. --- [PATCH] Customizable error handlers This patch makes the usage(), die() and error() handlers customizable. Nothing in the git code itself uses that but many other libgit users (like Git.pm) will. This is implemented using the mutator functions primarily because you cannot directly modifying global variables of libgit from a program that dlopen()ed it, apparently. But having functions for that is a better API anyway.
