[PATCH v3 02/19] refs.c: allow passing NULL to ref_transaction_free

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

 



Allow ref_transaction_free to be called with NULL and in extension allow
ref_transaction_rollback to be called for a NULL transaction.

This allows us to write code that will
  if ( (!transaction ||
        ref_transaction_update(...))  ||
      (ref_transaction_commit(...) && !(transaction = NULL)) {
          ref_transaction_rollback(transaction);
          ...
  }

In this case transaction is reset to NULL IFF ref_transaction_commit() was
invoked and thus the rollback becomes ref_transaction_rollback(NULL) which
is safe. IF the conditional triggered prior to ref_transaction_commit()
then transaction is untouched and then ref_transaction_rollback(transaction)
will rollback the failed transaction.
