However, I think it is not so useful to return -2, even if that is done so that you can differentiate the case where the TMPDIR and/or the template were too long and the case mkstemp() errored out. Stop and think for a minute: what does the underlying mkstemp() do, if the given template is too long? That's right. You would get ENAMETOOLONG. So why don't we do this instead? --- diff.c | 2 +- path.c | 25 ++++++++++--------------- 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c index cd6b0c4..a5fc56b 100644 --- a/diff.c +++ b/diff.c @@ -1695,7 +1695,7 @@ static void prep_temp_blob(struct diff_tempfile *temp, fd = git_mkstemp(temp->tmp_path, PATH_MAX, ".diff_XXXXXX"); if (fd < 0) - die("unable to create temp-file"); + die("unable to create temp-file: %s", strerror(errno)); if (write_in_full(fd, blob, size) != size) die("unable to write temp-file"); close(fd); diff --git a/path.c b/path.c index c4ce962..dc7ded9 100644 --- a/path.c +++ b/path.c @@ -71,25 +71,20 @@ char *git_path(const char *fmt, ...) /* git_mkstemp() - create tmp file honoring TMPDIR variable */ int git_mkstemp(char *path, size_t len, const char *template) { - char *env, *pch = path; - - if ((env = getenv("TMPDIR")) == NULL) { - strcpy(pch, "/tmp/"); - len -= 5; - pch += 5; - } else { - size_t n = snprintf(pch, len, "%s/", env); - - len -= n; - pch += n; + const char *tmp; + size_t n; + + tmp = getenv("TMPDIR"); + if (!tmp) + tmp = "/tmp"; + n = snprintf(path, len, "%s/%s", tmp, template); + if (len <= n) { + errno = ENAMETOOLONG; + return -1; } - - strlcpy(pch, template, len); - return mkstemp(path); } - int validate_headref(const char *path) { struct stat st; - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
