I think we'd generally already have the pack open unless there _is_ a midx, so this conditional probably never kicks in unless we have a midx anyway. Meaning my malloc-avoidance was over-thought. So we could just get rid of it. Or do it like this: diff --git a/packfile.c b/packfile.c index e7ca135ed5..ef0f959311 100644 --- a/packfile.c +++ b/packfile.c @@ -496,17 +496,22 @@ static int open_packed_git_1(struct packed_git *p) ssize_t read_result; const unsigned hashsz = the_hash_algo->rawsz; - if (!p->index_data && the_repository->objects->multi_pack_index) { - struct multi_pack_index *m; - char *idx_name = pack_name_to_idx(pack_basename(p)); + if (!p->index_data) { + struct multi_pack_index *m = + the_repository->objects->multi_pack_index; - for (m = the_repository->objects->multi_pack_index; - m; m = m->next) { - if (midx_contains_pack(m, idx_name)) - break; + if (m) { + char *idx_name = pack_name_to_idx(pack_basename(p)); + + for (; m; m = m->next) { + if (midx_contains_pack(m, idx_name)) + break; + } + free(idx_name); } - free(idx_name); + if (!m) + warning("opening anyway"); if (!m && open_pack_index(p)) return error("packfile %s index unavailable", p->pack_name); } I'll have to re-roll to address the other problem, though, so I'll give it some thought. -Peff
