[PATCH 0/2] Another minor cleanup involving string_lists

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Nothing really earthshattering here.  But it's funny how every time I
look closely at a site where I think string_lists could be used, I
find problems with the old code.  In this case is_absolute_path() is
called with an argument that is not a null-terminated string, which is
incorrect (though harmless because the function only looks at the
first two bytes of the string).

Another peculiarity of the (old and new) code is that it rejects
"comments" even in paths taken from the colon-separated environment
variable GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES.  The fix would be to change
link_alt_odb_entries() to take a string_list and let the callers strip
out comments when appropriate.  But it didn't seem worth the extra
code.

Michael Haggerty (2):
  link_alt_odb_entries(): use string_list_split_in_place()
  link_alt_odb_entries(): take (char *, len) rather than two pointers
