There are several uses of the magic number "line+45" when parsing ACK lines from the server, and it's rather unclear why 45 is the correct number. We can make this more clear by keeping a running pointer as we parse, using skip_prefix to jump past the first "ACK ", then adding 40 to jump past get_sha1_hex (which is still magical, but hopefully 40 is less magical to readers of git code). Note that this actually puts us at line+44. The original required some character between the sha1 and further ACK flags (it is supposed to be a space, but we never enforced that). We start our search for flags at line+44, which meanas we are slightly more liberal than the old code. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I actually think we could tighten this even more and drop the strstrs, too, like: arg += 40; if (*arg++ != ' ') return ACK; if (!strcmp(arg, "continue")) return ACK_continue; and so on. But I wasn't sure if there was a reason for the use of strstr. According to pack-protocol.txt, we would only get one at a time, and always with a single space between them. fetch-pack.c | 15 +++++++++------ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/fetch-pack.c b/fetch-pack.c index 3de3bd5..72ec520 100644 --- a/fetch-pack.c +++ b/fetch-pack.c @@ -189,20 +189,23 @@ static enum ack_type get_ack(int fd, unsigned char *result_sha1) { int len; char *line = packet_read_line(fd, &len); + const char *arg; if (!len) die("git fetch-pack: expected ACK/NAK, got EOF"); if (!strcmp(line, "NAK")) return NAK; - if (starts_with(line, "ACK ")) { - if (!get_sha1_hex(line+4, result_sha1)) { - if (len < 45) + if (skip_prefix(line, "ACK ", &arg)) { + if (!get_sha1_hex(arg, result_sha1)) { + arg += 40; + len -= arg - line; + if (len < 1) return ACK; - if (strstr(line+45, "continue")) + if (strstr(arg, "continue")) return ACK_continue; - if (strstr(line+45, "common")) + if (strstr(arg, "common")) return ACK_common; - if (strstr(line+45, "ready")) + if (strstr(arg, "ready")) return ACK_ready; return ACK; } -- 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
