OK, I'll try that out. Looks like this now: static char *read_shell_var(FILE *fp, const char *key) { struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT; const char *str; if (strbuf_getline(&sb, fp, '\n')) return NULL; if (!skip_prefix(sb.buf, key, &str)) return NULL; if (!skip_prefix(str, "=", &str)) return NULL; strbuf_remove(&sb, 0, str - sb.buf); str = sq_dequote(sb.buf); if (!str) return NULL; return strbuf_detach(&sb, NULL); } > I also think we can fold it into the `read_author_script()` function and make it more resilient with regards to the order of the variables. Something like this: > [...] Hmm, I think we should be very strict about parsing the author-script file though. As explained in read_author_script(), git-am.sh evals the author-script, which we can't in C. I would much rather we barf at the first sign that the author-script is not what we expect, rather than attempt to parse it as much as possible, but end up with the wrong results as compared to git-am.sh. Besides, currently git-am.sh will always write the author-script with the order of GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE. If the order is wrong, I would think it means that something is messing with the author-script, and it would be better if we bail out immediately, instead of potentially doing something wrong. >> +/** >> + * Saves state->author_name, state->author_email and state->author_date in >> + * `filename` as an "author script", which is the format used by git-am.sh. >> + */ >> +static void write_author_script(const struct am_state *state) >> +{ >> + static const char fmt[] = "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=%s\n" >> + "GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=%s\n" >> + "GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=%s\n"; >> + struct strbuf author_name = STRBUF_INIT; >> + struct strbuf author_email = STRBUF_INIT; >> + struct strbuf author_date = STRBUF_INIT; >> + >> + sq_quote_buf(&author_name, state->author_name.buf); >> + sq_quote_buf(&author_email, state->author_email.buf); >> + sq_quote_buf(&author_date, state->author_date.buf); > > The `sq_quote_buf()` function does not call `strbuf_reset()`. Therefore you could just use a single strbuf to construct the entire three lines and then write that out. Again, if you follow my suggestion to keep a "scratch pad" strbuf in am_state, you could reuse that. Right, makes sense. I've implemented it on my end.
