Both for this & the below don't we prefer to have such assignments on
their own line? I.e.:
struct reftable_record rec = {
.type = BLOCK_TYPE_REF,
.u.ref = { .refname = (char *)name },
};
In this case the snuggling is buying is nothing in terms of line count,
and for the .u.ref assignment we were split across 3 lines instead of
1. So this seems easier to read to me....

... yet another style that's a mix between the two. I suppose always
putting the braces on their own line is consistent, but for these
one-member assignments just doing:
struct reftable_record rec = {
.type = BLOCK_TYPE_REF,
.u.ref = { .refname = (char *)name },
};
seems easier to read....

A stray whitespace change. A good one, but maybe (depending on others in
the topic) bundle those into their own patch (or maybe it's not worth
it, haven't looked at the whole thing again).
In this case we don't otherwise touch this function, so maybe just
leaving it for some future re-formatting change is better?

Per https://lore.kernel.org/git/87wnmwpwyf.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ I
think Junio at al prefer not to have C++-style comments in git, even
though they're also in C99.

Here you are formatting/indenting these struct assignments exactly in
the style I suggested above (but within just this patch I think it's the
3rd or 4th style you're using picking).

Since you're adjusting whitespace that splits blocks for readability,
doesn't it mke sense to retain the reftable_record_key() as a "block"
here before reader_start(), even if there's only one of them left?
I.e. to split up data setup from "real work" in the function.

The reftable_record_data() function can just be moved above its first
user, and we can avoid this forward deceleration for a new static
function.

Earlier I commented on other mem*() usage, but this goes against the
memcpy() paranoia being dropped referenced in the CL. I.e. we can do
away with the guard clause here too.

The static function we forward-declared above, and could just move up.

...reading this whole function shouldn't this be a more normal *_init()
pattern function where the caller just populates the ".type = ", and we
init the rest here? That would also make the ownership more obvious, and
if any future API user needs to pass in variable on the heap instead of
us returning it on the stack here...

I didn't follow all the vtable entries, but for these:
4 matches for ".release =" in buffer: record.c
440: .release = &reftable_ref_record_release_void,
582: .release = &reftable_obj_record_release,
925: .release = &reftable_log_record_release_void,
1052: .release = &reftable_index_record_release,
Some zero'd the data out already, but for
"reftable_index_record_release" isn't promising this a bug, as we don't
want to memset() to 0 a strbuf_init()?

More odd s/typ/type/
Also for the whitespace here we can just add this assignment above where
we declare it.

Good whitespace change, but another thing to split up in unrelated

Another case of different struct formatting (but the one I suggested using uniformly).
