Until/unless that can be done, I am not sure how much benefit we would be getting from a file format that records a subtype "id" and a generic "META" type, instead of just a single "id" as the type ehader. But it is OK to use 8 extra bytes if we can potentially gain something later. Shouldn't id be validated with at least something like if (strlen(id) < 3) die("Bad id: %s", id); to catch a call write_meta_header(&mw, "me", 47); that will stuff 'm', 'e', NUL and the garbage the compiler/linker combo has placed after that constant string in the 4-byte id field? > +void metapack_writer_init(struct metapack_writer *mw, > + const char *pack_idx, > + const char *name, > + int version) > +{ > + struct strbuf path = STRBUF_INIT; > + > + memset(mw, 0, sizeof(*mw)); > + > + mw->pack = add_packed_git(pack_idx, strlen(pack_idx), 1); > + if (!mw->pack || open_pack_index(mw->pack)) > + die("unable to open packfile '%s'", pack_idx); > + > + strbuf_addstr(&path, pack_idx); > + strbuf_chompstr(&path, ".idx"); > + strbuf_addch(&path, '.'); > + strbuf_addstr(&path, name); Your chompstr() does not even validate if the given name ends with ".idx", so this sounds like a glorified way to say strbuf_splice(&path, path->len - strlen("idx"), strlen("idx"), name, strlen(name)); to me. > + mw->path = strbuf_detach(&path, NULL); > + > + mw->out = create_meta_tmp(); > + write_meta_header(mw, name, version); > +} > + > +void metapack_writer_finish(struct metapack_writer *mw) > +{ > + const char *tmp = mw->out->name; > + > + sha1close(mw->out, NULL, CSUM_FSYNC); > + if (rename(tmp, mw->path)) > + die_errno("unable to rename temporary metapack file"); Who is responsible for running adjust_shared_perm()?
