[PATCH v2 05/11] refs.c: refactor resolve_ref_unsafe() to use strbuf internally

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

 



From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx>

In the beginning, we had resolve_ref() that returns a buffer owned by
this function. Then we started to move away from that direction because
the buffer could be overwritten by the next resolve_ref() call and
introduced two new functions: resolve_ref_unsafe() and resolve_refdup().
The static buffer is still kept internally.

This patch makes the core of resolve_ref use a strbuf instead of static
buffer. Which makes resolve_refdup() more efficient (no need to copy
from the static buffer to a new buffer). It also removes the (random?)
256 char limit. In future, resolve_ref() could be used directly without
going through resolve_refdup() wrapper.

A minor bonus. resolve_ref(dup) are now more thread-friendly (although I'm
not 100% sure if they are thread-safe yet).
