From: Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> convert_to_git sets src=dst->buf if any of the preceding conversions actually did any work. Thus in ident_to_git we have to use memmove instead of memcpy as far as src->dst copying is concerned. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Valgrind intermittently detected this for me in t0021, hence the patch. As far as I'm aware it has been broken since the rewrite to memcpy back in 5ecd293 (Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's., 2007-09-16). It probably never really mattered as all involved copies are towards lower addresses (content is only removed) and thus a straightforward memcpy operation will do the right thing by accident. convert.c | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/convert.c b/convert.c index 416bf83..3bb5a4d 100644 --- a/convert.c +++ b/convert.c @@ -533,7 +533,7 @@ static int ident_to_git(const char *path, const char *src, size_t len, dollar = memchr(src, '$', len); if (!dollar) break; - memcpy(dst, src, dollar + 1 - src); + memmove(dst, src, dollar + 1 - src); dst += dollar + 1 - src; len -= dollar + 1 - src; src = dollar + 1; @@ -553,7 +553,7 @@ static int ident_to_git(const char *path, const char *src, size_t len, src = dollar + 1; } } - memcpy(dst, src, len); + memmove(dst, src, len); strbuf_setlen(buf, dst + len - buf->buf); return 1; } -- 1.7.7.rc0.370.gdcae57 -- 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
