Formatting $(taggername) on headerless tags such as v0.99 in Git causes a SIGABRT with error "munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer", because of an oversight in commit f0062d3b74 (ref-filter: free item->value and item->value->s, 2018-10-19).

Therefore I'm unsure how to make tests, and if that is even warranted. ref-filter.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/ref-filter.c b/ref-filter.c index f27cfc8c3e..7338cfc671 100644 --- a/ref-filter.c +++ b/ref-filter.c @@ -1028,7 +1028,7 @@ static const char *copy_name(const char *buf) if (!strncmp(cp, " <", 2)) return xmemdupz(buf, cp - buf); } - return ""; + return xstrdup(""); } static const char *copy_email(const char *buf) @@ -1036,10 +1036,10 @@ static const char *copy_email(const char *buf) const char *email = strchr(buf, '<'); const char *eoemail; if (!email) - return ""; + return xstrdup(""); eoemail = strchr(email, '>'); if (!eoemail) - return ""; + return xstrdup(""); return xmemdupz(email, eoemail + 1 - email); } -- 2.23.0
