From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> If there is more than one potential moved block and the longest block is not the first element of the array of potential blocks then the block is cut short. With --color-moved=blocks this can leave moved lines unpainted if the shortened block does not meet the block length requirement. With --color-moved=zebra then in addition to the unpainted lines the moved color can change in the middle of a single block. Fix this by freeing the whitespace delta of the match we're discarding rather than the one we're keeping. Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- While I was working on this I spotted a couple of other issues I don't have time to fix myself at the moment, so I thought I mention them in case someone else wants to pick them up 1) I think there is a potential memory leak at the end of mark_color_as_moved(). If pmb_nr > 0 then the whitespace deltas need freeing before freeing pmb itself. 2) The documentation could be improved to explain that allow-indentation-change does not work with indentation that contains a mix of tabs and spaces and the motivation for that (python?) [I've got some code to add an option that supports that which I'll post when I've written some tests after 2.19 is released] diff.c | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c index 145cfbae5..4e8f725bb 100644 --- a/diff.c +++ b/diff.c @@ -968,8 +968,13 @@ static void pmb_advance_or_null_multi_match(struct diff_options *o, /* Carry the white space delta forward */ pmb[i]->next_line->wsd = pmb[i]->wsd; pmb[i] = pmb[i]->next_line; - } else + } else { + if (pmb[i]->wsd) { + free(pmb[i]->wsd->string); + FREE_AND_NULL(pmb[i]->wsd); + } pmb[i] = NULL; + } } } @@ -990,10 +995,6 @@ static int shrink_potential_moved_blocks(struct moved_entry **pmb, if (lp < pmb_nr && rp > -1 && lp < rp) { pmb[lp] = pmb[rp]; - if (pmb[rp]->wsd) { - free(pmb[rp]->wsd->string); - FREE_AND_NULL(pmb[rp]->wsd); - } pmb[rp] = NULL; rp--; lp++; -- 2.18.0
