This series fixes numerous segfaults in config API users, because they didn't expect *_get_multi() to hand them a string_list with a NULL in it given config like "[a] key" (note, no "="'s). A larger general overview at v1[1], but note the API changes in v2[2]. Changes since v5[3]: * Drop the 6th commit, which made existing API functions return -1. We shouldn't coerce errors to "return 1", but making the API consistent can wait for a follow-up to this topic. This should address the reason for this topic being stalled for a while, see e.g. [4]. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-00.10-00000000000-20221026T151328Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v2-0.9-00000000000-20221101T225822Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v5-00.10-00000000000-20230207T154000Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ 4. https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqcz5snyxz.fsf@gitster.g/ Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (9): config tests: cover blind spots in git_die_config() tests config tests: add "NULL" tests for *_get_value_multi() config API: add and use a "git_config_get()" family of functions versioncmp.c: refactor config reading next commit config API: have *_multi() return an "int" and take a "dest" for-each-repo: error on bad --config config API users: test for *_get_value_multi() segfaults config API: add "string" version of *_value_multi(), fix segfaults for-each-repo: with bad config, don't conflate <path> and <cmd> builtin/for-each-repo.c | 14 ++-- builtin/gc.c | 15 ++-- builtin/log.c | 6 +- builtin/submodule--helper.c | 7 +- builtin/worktree.c | 3 +- config.c | 109 ++++++++++++++++++++++----- config.h | 68 ++++++++++++++--- pack-bitmap.c | 6 +- submodule.c | 3 +- t/helper/test-config.c | 28 ++++++- t/t0068-for-each-repo.sh | 19 +++++ t/t1308-config-set.sh | 108 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- t/t3309-notes-merge-auto-resolve.sh | 7 +- t/t4202-log.sh | 15 ++++ t/t5304-prune.sh | 12 ++- t/t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh | 20 +++++ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh | 16 ++++ t/t7004-tag.sh | 17 +++++ t/t7413-submodule-is-active.sh | 16 ++++ t/t7900-maintenance.sh | 38 ++++++++++ versioncmp.c | 22 ++++-- 21 files changed, 477 insertions(+), 72 deletions(-) Range-diff against v5: 1: cefc4188984 = 1: 43fdb0cf50c config tests: cover blind spots in git_die_config() tests 2: 91a44456327 = 2: 4b0799090c9 config tests: add "NULL" tests for *_get_value_multi() 3: 4a73151abde = 3: 62fe2f04e71 config API: add and use a "git_config_get()" family of functions 4: 382a77ca69e = 4: e36303f4d3d versioncmp.c: refactor config reading next commit 5: 8f17bf8150c ! 5: e38523267e7 config API: have *_multi() return an "int" and take a "dest" @@ config.c: void git_die_config(const char *key, const char *err, ...) } ## config.h ## -@@ config.h: int git_configset_add_parameters(struct config_set *cs); +@@ config.h: int git_configset_add_file(struct config_set *cs, const char *filename); /** * Finds and returns the value list, sorted in order of increasing priority * for the configuration variable `key` and config set `cs`.
