The content of this strbuf is unconditionally detached several lines before the strbuf_release() and the strbuf is never touched again after that point. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Notes: I'm on the fence about this change. On the one hand, I spent extra cycles studying the code to determine if the strbuf was used again after being detached. On the other hand, the strbuf_release() at the end of the function protects against a leak if someone ever inserts code which re-uses the strbuf. So, I wouldn't be bothered if this patch is dropped from the series. worktree.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/worktree.c b/worktree.c index cba2e54598..c0df5e2c79 100644 --- a/worktree.c +++ b/worktree.c @@ -66,8 +66,6 @@ static struct worktree *get_main_worktree(void) worktree->is_bare = (is_bare_repository_cfg == 1) || is_bare_repository(); add_head_info(worktree); - - strbuf_release(&worktree_path); return worktree; } -- 2.28.0.203.gce1f2e0ef1
