FWIW a lot more than that fails, that's just the test I focused on for the bug report, the others ones (I didn't check out all of them) all variants of that. See https://github.com/avar/git/runs/7519070124?check_suite_focus=true for the current failing run with that "[2]" patch you quoted. We fail a total of 14 test files (and many more tests within those files). > Reported-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Glen Choo <chooglen@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > config.c: NULL check when reading protected config > > This fixes the SANITIZE=address failure on master, That was introduced > by gc/bare-repo-discovery.

I wonder if we should work in here for general paranoia, but I'm not too familiar with the this part of the config reading, maybe we're confident enough that these are invariants within the process. This will BUG() out if these variables change within the process, which would mean that our caching assumptions are no longer true, which would cause you to return the wrong data here. Of course you'd have segfaulted or similar before, but this should demonstrate that not only are these sometimes NULL, but that they stay that way. diff --git a/config.c b/config.c index 015bec360f5..cdd665c1cc8 100644 --- a/config.c +++ b/config.c @@ -2102,6 +2102,30 @@ int git_config_system(void) return !git_env_bool("GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM", 0); } +static char *last_system_config; +static char *last_xdg_config; +static char *last_user_config; + +static void sanity_check_config_1(const char *name, char **last, + const char *now) +{ + if (*last && now && strcmp(*last, now)) + BUG("%s_config: had '%s', now '%s'", name, *last, now); + else if (*last && !now) + BUG("%s_config: had '%s', now NULL", name, *last); + free(*last); + *last = xstrdup_or_null(now); +} + +static void sanity_check_config(const char *system_config, + const char *xdg_config, + const char *user_config) +{ + sanity_check_config_1("system", &last_system_config, system_config); + sanity_check_config_1("xdg", &last_xdg_config, xdg_config); + sanity_check_config_1("user", &last_user_config, user_config); +} + static int do_git_config_sequence(const struct config_options *opts, config_fn_t fn, void *data) { @@ -2134,6 +2158,8 @@ static int do_git_config_sequence(const struct config_options *opts, if (user_config && !access_or_die(user_config, R_OK, ACCESS_EACCES_OK)) ret += git_config_from_file(fn, user_config, data); + sanity_check_config(system_config, xdg_config, user_config); + current_parsing_scope = CONFIG_SCOPE_LOCAL; if (!opts->ignore_repo && repo_config && !access_or_die(repo_config, R_OK, 0)) @@ -2645,6 +2671,8 @@ static void read_protected_config(void) system_config = git_system_config(); git_global_config(&user_config, &xdg_config); + sanity_check_config(system_config, xdg_config, user_config); + git_configset_add_file(&protected_config, system_config); git_configset_add_file(&protected_config, xdg_config); git_configset_add_file(&protected_config, user_config);
