[PATCH v2 3/3] Use the newly-introduced regexec_buf() function

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

 



The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.

We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec() may have been mmap()ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).

Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which explicitly allocated and constructed
NUL-terminated strings (or worse: modified read-only buffers to insert
NULs).

Some of the buffers actually may be NUL-terminated. As regexec_buf()
uses REG_STARTEND where available, but has to fall back to allocating
and constructing NUL-terminated strings where REG_STARTEND is not
available, this makes the code less efficient in the latter case.

However, given the widespread support for REG_STARTEND, combined with
the improved ease of code maintenance, we strike the balance in favor
of REG_STARTEND.
