Thanks, that's helpful.

So we are inserting the string from add_existing, which gets the list
from a callback parameter. Which comes from...
> #13 0x0807390a in do_fetch (remote=<value optimized out>, argc=0, argv=0xbfffe9f8) at builtin/fetch.c:699
...here, which does this:
struct string_list existing_refs = STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP;
[...]
for_each_ref(add_existing, &existing_refs);
And yet we get:

which seems odd. cmp should be initialized to NULL, and then we never
touch it (and even if we did, it wouldn't be unitialized, but rather
have the value we put in it).
It's almost like the compiler is getting the initializer wrong. It's a
long shot, but I wonder if the presence of the bitfield could be
triggering a compiler bug (or there is a subtle C rule about bitfield
initializations that I do not know). Just for the sake of my sanity,
what does the following program output for you?
-- >8 --
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef int (*compare_fn)(const char *, const char *);
struct foo {
char **items;
unsigned int nr, alloc;
unsigned int bitfield:1;
compare_fn cmp;
};
int main(void)
{
struct foo f = { NULL, 0, 0, 0 };
printf("cmp is %lu\n", (unsigned long)f.cmp);
return 0;
}
