Change the resolve_ref_unsafe() wrapper function to use the underlying refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() directly. >From a reading of the callers I determined that the only one who cared about errno was a sequencer.c caller added in e47c6cafcb5 (commit: move print_commit_summary() to libgit, 2017-11-24), I'm migrating it to using refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() directly. This adds another "set errno" instance, but in this case it's OK and idiomatic. We are setting it just before calling die_errno(). We could have some hypothetical die_errno_var(&saved_errno, ...) here, but I don't think it's worth it. The problem with errno is subtle action at distance, not this sort of thing. We already use this pattern in a couple of places in wrapper.c Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- refs.c | 6 ++++-- sequencer.c | 10 ++++++++-- 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/refs.c b/refs.c index f2a56a216c3..4b0c1a30a18 100644 --- a/refs.c +++ b/refs.c @@ -1784,8 +1784,10 @@ int refs_init_db(struct strbuf *err) const char *resolve_ref_unsafe(const char *refname, int resolve_flags, struct object_id *oid, int *flags) { - return refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(get_main_ref_store(the_repository), refname, - resolve_flags, oid, flags); + int ignore_errno; + + return refs_werrres_ref_unsafe(get_main_ref_store(the_repository), refname, + resolve_flags, oid, flags, &ignore_errno); } int resolve_gitlink_ref(const char *submodule, const char *refname, diff --git a/sequencer.c b/sequencer.c index 64b1f2e681c..7052f791410 100644 --- a/sequencer.c +++ b/sequencer.c @@ -1281,6 +1281,8 @@ void print_commit_summary(struct repository *r, struct pretty_print_context pctx = {0}; struct strbuf author_ident = STRBUF_INIT; struct strbuf committer_ident = STRBUF_INIT; + struct ref_store *refs; + int resolve_errno; commit = lookup_commit(r, oid); if (!commit) @@ -1330,9 +1332,13 @@ void print_commit_summary(struct repository *r, rev.diffopt.break_opt = 0; diff_setup_done(&rev.diffopt); - head = resolve_ref_unsafe("HEAD", 0, NULL, NULL); - if (!head) + refs = get_main_ref_store(the_repository); + head = refs_werrres_ref_unsafe(refs, "HEAD", 0, NULL, NULL, + &resolve_errno); + if (!head) { + errno = resolve_errno; die_errno(_("unable to resolve HEAD after creating commit")); + } if (!strcmp(head, "HEAD")) head = _("detached HEAD"); else -- 2.33.1.1346.g48288c3c089
