If the user asks for --format=%G with nothing else, we correctly realize that "%G" is not a valid placeholder (it should be "%G?", "%GK", etc). But we still tell the strbuf_expand code that we consumed 2 characters, causing it to jump over the trailing NUL and output garbage. This also fixes the case where "%GX" would be consumed (and produce no output). In other cases, we pass unrecognized placeholders through to the final string. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- Noticed while experimenting with "%G" placeholders in the nearby thread. It doesn't look like we have any tests of "%G*" and friends at all. :( pretty.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/pretty.c b/pretty.c index e1e2cad..70d8776 100644 --- a/pretty.c +++ b/pretty.c @@ -1267,6 +1267,8 @@ static size_t format_commit_one(struct strbuf *sb, /* in UTF-8 */ if (c->signature_check.key) strbuf_addstr(sb, c->signature_check.key); break; + default: + return 0; } return 2; } -- 2.0.0.566.gfe3e6b2 -- 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
