We died without flushing, losing accumulated output. > +static int err(struct merge_options *o, const char *err, ...) > +{ > + va_list params; > + > + va_start(params, err); > + flush_output(o); I would have written the above two swapped; va_start() logically is about what happens in the next four lines. > + strbuf_vaddf(&o->obuf, err, params); > + error("%s", o->obuf.buf); > + strbuf_reset(&o->obuf); Sneaky ;-) The remainder replaces error(...) with err(o, ...) and updates the callchain to pass the merge_options around, which looked good.
