Luckily valgrind points you right at it: ==9178== Invalid read of size 1 ==9178== at 0x4CEFB4: sequencer_pick_revisions (sequencer.c:1077) ==9178== by 0x45E7F2: cmd_cherry_pick (revert.c:236) ==9178== by 0x40523C: handle_internal_command (git.c:292) ==9178== by 0x405467: main (git.c:500) ==9178== Address 0x5bedbd0 is 0 bytes inside a block of size 1,001 free'd ==9178== at 0x4C2ACDA: free (vg_replace_malloc.c:468) ==9178== by 0x4D96C7: strbuf_release (strbuf.c:40) ==9178== by 0x4C9AAE: setup_revisions (revision.c:1285) ==9178== by 0x45E6FA: parse_args (revert.c:203) ==9178== by 0x45E7EA: cmd_cherry_pick (revert.c:235) ==9178== by 0x40523C: handle_internal_command (git.c:292) ==9178== by 0x405467: main (git.c:500) >From a cursory glance it looks like it's actually an existing bug in read_revisions_from_stdin or handle_revision_arg, depending on which way you look at it. read_revisions_from_stdin passes its temporary buffer down to handle_revision_arg: struct strbuf sb; [...] strbuf_init(&sb, 1000); while (strbuf_getwholeline(&sb, stdin, '\n') != EOF) { [...] if (handle_revision_arg(sb.buf, revs, 0, REVARG_CANNOT_BE_FILENAME)) die("bad revision '%s'", sb.buf); } But handle_revision_arg ends up just stuffing that parameter into the revision-walker options via some helpers: add_rev_cmdline(revs, object, arg_, REV_CMD_REV, flags ^ local_flags); add_pending_object_with_mode(revs, object, arg, oc.mode); This seems to have been lurking since 281eee4 (revision: keep track of the end-user input from the command line, 2011-08-25). Junio, at which level should we fix it? We could of course have read_revisions_from_stdin make a copy of the buffers it passes down, but perhaps it would be less surprising to instead have handle_revision_arg make sure it makes a copy of everything it "keeps"? The easy fix of course is just this: diff --git i/revision.c w/revision.c index 3a20c96..181a8db 100644 --- i/revision.c +++ w/revision.c @@ -1277,7 +1277,8 @@ static void read_revisions_from_stdin(struct rev_info *revs, } die("options not supported in --stdin mode"); } - if (handle_revision_arg(sb.buf, revs, 0, REVARG_CANNOT_BE_FILENAME)) + if (handle_revision_arg(xstrdup(sb.buf), revs, 0, + REVARG_CANNOT_BE_FILENAME)) die("bad revision '%s'", sb.buf); } if (seen_dashdash) -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- 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
