Following your changes, it is never used outside of read_branch_desc(), and 'config_name' and 'value' would be more naturally declared as variables local to that function. > -static int read_branch_desc_cb(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb) > -{ > - struct branch_desc_cb *desc = cb; > - if (strcmp(desc->config_name, var)) > - return 0; > - free((char *)desc->value); > - return git_config_string(&desc->value, var, value); > -} > - > int read_branch_desc(struct strbuf *buf, const char *branch_name) > { > - struct branch_desc_cb cb; > + const char *value = NULL; > + struct branch_desc desc; > struct strbuf name = STRBUF_INIT; > strbuf_addf(&name, "branch.%s.description", branch_name); > - cb.config_name = name.buf; > - cb.value = NULL; > - if (git_config(read_branch_desc_cb, &cb) < 0) { > + desc.config_name = name.buf; > + desc.value = NULL; > + git_config_get_string(desc.config_name, &value); > + if (git_config_string(&desc.value, desc.config_name, value) < 0) { Although it works in this case, it's somewhat ugly that you ignore the return value of git_config_get_string(), and a person reading the code has to spend extra time digging into git_config_string() to figure out why this is safe. If might be clearer for future readers by rephrasing like this: if (git_config_get_string(desc.config_name, &value) < 0 || git_config_string(&desc.value, desc.config_name, value) < 0) { > strbuf_release(&name); > return -1; > } > - if (cb.value) > - strbuf_addstr(buf, cb.value); > + strbuf_addstr(buf, desc.value); > strbuf_release(&name); > return 0; > } > -- > 1.9.0.GIT -- 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
