Yay! In all of my buffer size auditing over the years, I've repeatedly come across this "+ 100" but it never quite made the cut for fixing, since it wasn't (yet) actually broken.

A pure translation would include a final strbuf_addch(sb, '\n'). It looks like you moved that to the caller. There's only one, so that's OK now, but it may affect topics in flight (and I do in fact have an old topic that calls it). But I think it's OK, as the change in function signature means that any callers will need updated anyway. So there's little risk of a silent mis-merge. > diff --git a/refs/files-backend.c b/refs/files-backend.c > index a9a066dcfb..c0e892d0c8 100644 > --- a/refs/files-backend.c > +++ b/refs/files-backend.c > @@ -1582,22 +1582,15 @@ static int log_ref_write_fd(int fd, const struct object_id *old_oid, > const struct object_id *new_oid, > const char *committer, const char *msg) > { > - int msglen, written; > - unsigned maxlen, len; > - char *logrec; > - > - msglen = msg ? strlen(msg) : 0; > - maxlen = strlen(committer) + msglen + 100; > - logrec = xmalloc(maxlen); > - len = xsnprintf(logrec, maxlen, "%s %s %s\n", > - oid_to_hex(old_oid), > - oid_to_hex(new_oid), > - committer); > - if (msglen) > - len += copy_reflog_msg(logrec + len - 1, msg) - 1; > - > - written = len <= maxlen ? write_in_full(fd, logrec, len) : -1; > - free(logrec); > + int written; > + struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT; > + > + strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s %s %s", oid_to_hex(old_oid), oid_to_hex(new_oid), committer); > + if (msg && *msg) > + copy_reflog_msg(&sb, msg); > + strbuf_addch(&sb, '\n'); > + written = write_in_full(fd, sb.buf, sb.len); > + strbuf_release(&sb); > if (written < 0) > return -1; This looks like another straight-forward translation. While we're here, is it worth turning "written" into an ssize_t, which is the correct return from write_in_full()? Alternatively, I wonder if the logic would be simpler to follow with: int ret; ...strbuf bits... if (write_in_full(fd, sb.buf, sb.len) < 0) ret = -1; else ret = 0; strbuf_release(&sb); return ret; We don't actually care about the number of bytes at all. That's minor, though. With or without such a change, I'd be happy to see it applied. -Peff
