Yes, it was. Though since the length comes from a strlen() call, it can actually use the _STR variant, like: FLEX_ALLOC_STR(entry, submodule, submodule); Besides being shorter, this does integer-overflow checks on the final length. > > @@ -1373,16 +1405,17 @@ void base_ref_store_init(struct ref_store *refs, > > die("BUG: main_ref_store initialized twice"); > > > > refs->submodule = ""; > > - refs->next = NULL; > > main_ref_store = refs; > > } else { > > - if (lookup_ref_store(submodule)) > > + refs->submodule = xstrdup(submodule); > > + > > + if (!submodule_ref_stores.tablesize) > > + hashmap_init(&submodule_ref_stores, submodule_hash_cmp, 20); > > Makes me wonder what "20" stands for.

I think this is what "0" already does (grep for HASHMAP_INITIAL_SIZE). In fact, that constant is 64. The 20 we pass in goes through some magic load-factor computation and ends up as 25. That being smaller than the INITIAL_SIZE constant, I believe that we end up allocating 64 entries either way (that's just from reading the code, though; I didn't run it to double check). -Peff
