[PATCH v2 3/9] config tests: add "NULL" tests for *_get_value_multi()

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

 



A less well known edge case in the config format is that keys can be
value-less, a shorthand syntax for "true" boolean keys. I.e. these two
are equivalent as far as "--type=bool" is concerned:

	[a]key
	[a]key = true

But as far as our parser is concerned the values for these two are
NULL, and "true". I.e. for a sequence like:

	[a]key=x
	[a]key
	[a]key=y

We get a "struct string_list" with "string" members with ".string"
values of:

	{ "x", NULL, "y" }

This behavior goes back to the initial implementation of
git_config_bool() in 17712991a59 (Add ".git/config" file parser,
2005-10-10).

When the "t/t1308-config-set.sh" tests were added in [1] only one of
the three "(NULL)" lines in "t/helper/test-config.c" had any test
coverage. This change adds tests that stress the remaining two.
