Hi, Stanse found the following error in unpack-trees.c: dereferencing NULL pointer here.[. * o src_index] int unpack_trees(unsigned len, struct tree_desc *t, struct unpack_trees_options *o) { int ret; static struct cache_entry *dfc; ... if (o->src_index) { <-- loc0 o->result.timestamp.sec = o->src_index->timestamp.sec; o->result.timestamp.nsec = o->src_index->timestamp.nsec; } o->merge_size = len; if (!dfc) dfc = xcalloc(1, ((1 + (0) + 8) & ~7)); o->df_conflict_entry = dfc; if (len) { ... } if (o->merge) { while (o->pos < o->src_index->cache_nr) { <-- here It triggers, because there is a test for o->src_index being NULL at loc0, but here, it is dereferenced without a check. Can this happen (e.g. does o->merge != NULL imply o->src_index != NULL)? Further, there is a warning in log-tree.c: pointer always points to valid memory here, but checking for not NULL.[parents] static int log_tree_diff(struct rev_info *opt, struct commit *commit, struct log_info *log) { int showed_log; struct commit_list *parents; unsigned const char *sha1 = commit->object.sha1; if (!opt->diff && !((&opt->diffopt)->flags & (1 << 14))) return 0; parents = commit->parents; if (!parents) { <-- loc0 if (opt->show_root_diff) { diff_root_tree_sha1(sha1, "", &opt->diffopt); log_tree_diff_flush(opt); } return !opt->loginfo; <-- loc1 } if (parents && parents->next) { <-- here I.e. if parents was NULL at loc0, we escaped at loc1. But we check parents against NULL here again. thanks, -- js -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
