[PATCH 02/20] refs API: add a version of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() with "errno"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a new refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function, which is like
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() except that it explicitly saves away the
"errno" to a passed-in parameter, the refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() then
becomes a wrapper for it.

In subsequent commits we'll migrate code over to it, before finally
making "refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()" with an "errno" parameter the
canonical version, so this this function exists only so that we can
incrementally migrate callers, it will be going away in a subsequent
commit.

As the added comment notes has a rather tortured name to be the same
length as "refs_resolve_ref_unsafe", to avoid churn as we won't need
to re-indent the argument lists, similarly the documentation and
structure of it in refs.h is designed to minimize a diff in a
subsequent commit, where that documentation will be added to the new
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe().

At the end of this migration the "meaningful errno" TODO item left in
76d70dc0c63 (refs.c: make resolve_ref_unsafe set errno to something
meaningful on error, 2014-06-20) will be resolved.

As can be seen from the use of refs_read_raw_ref() we'll also need to
convert some functions that the new refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() itself
calls to take this "failure_errno". That will be done in subsequent
commits.
