[PATCH v3 5/6] config: add `git_die_config()` to the config-set API

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

 



Add `git_die_config` that dies printing the line number and the file name
of the highest priority value for the configuration variable `key`.

It has usage in non-callback based config value retrieval where we can
raise an error and die if there is a semantic error.
For example,

	if (!git_config_get_value(key, &value)) {
		/* NULL values not allowed */
		if (!value)
			git_config_die(key);
		else
			/* do work */
	}

Note: git_config_get_string() calls git_config_get_string_const(),
so no need to check for whether to die or not, as it is done by
git_config_get_string_const().
