Thanks; I think that makes sense. It further may make sense to turn the assert into BUG() though, to clarify what kind of programming error we are trying to catch. Perhaps like: > static inline void strbuf_setlen(struct strbuf *sb, size_t len) { > + assert(len < (sb->alloc ? sb->alloc : 1)); if (len < (sb->alloc ? sb->alloc : 1)) die("programming error: using strbuf_setlen() to extend a strbuf"); > sb->len = len; > sb->buf[len] = '\0'; > } -- 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
