Inlining an exported function that is not providing the right level of abstraction is a bold move that simplifies the API and can unlock improvements at the former call sites, like the possibility to reuse an allocated buffer in this case.

On my system there's no measurable change with these commands.

It is a preexisting example of show_ref_array_item() not being flexible enough, though. I think it makes sense to have separate patches for inlining the function verbatim and reusing the output buffer when format_ref_array_item() is called in a loop. > die("%s", err.buf); > if (column_active(colopts)) { > @@ -452,10 +453,9 @@ static void print_ref_list(struct ref_filter *filter, struct ref_sorting *sortin > fwrite(out.buf, 1, out.len, stdout); > putchar('\n'); > } > - strbuf_release(&err); > - strbuf_release(&out); > } > > + strbuf_release(&out); err is no longer released, and it is also not reset in the loop. That change is not mentioned in the commit message, but it should. Why is it safe? Probably because format_ref_array_item() only populates it if it also returns non-zero and then we end up dying anyway. That makes leak checking harder, though -- it's not easy to see if err hasn't simply been forgotten to be released. I'd just retain the strbuf_release() call at the end of the function -- it shouldn't have a measurable performance impact and documents that this function is cleaning up after itself.
