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 v6[3]: * Glen pointed out that ejecting a commit in v6 orphaned a corresponding forward-reference in a commit message, fix that. 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-v6-0.9-00000000000-20230307T180516Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ 4. https://lore.kernel.org/git/kl6lwn3sgjam.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ 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 v6: 1: 43fdb0cf50c = 1: 9f297a35e14 config tests: cover blind spots in git_die_config() tests 2: 4b0799090c9 = 2: 45d483066ef config tests: add "NULL" tests for *_get_value_multi() 3: 62fe2f04e71 ! 3: a977b7b188f config API: add and use a "git_config_get()" family of functions @@ Commit message "int" instead of "void". Let's leave that for now, and focus on the *_get_*() functions. - In a subsequent commit we'll fix the other *_get_*() functions to so - that they'll ferry our underlying "ret" along, rather than normalizing - it to a "return 1". But as an intermediate step to that we'll need to - fix git_configset_get_value_multi() to return "int", and that change - itself is smaller because of this change to migrate some callers away - from the *_value_multi() API. - 1. 3c8687a73ee (add `config_set` API for caching config-like files, 2014-07-28) 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqczadkq9f.fsf@gitster.g/ 3. 1e8697b5c4e (submodule--helper: check repo{_submodule,}_init() 4: e36303f4d3d = 4: 3a5a323cd91 versioncmp.c: refactor config reading next commit 5: e38523267e7 = 5: dced12a40d2 config API: have *_multi() return an "int" and take a "dest" 6: 3a87b35e114 = 6: d910f7e3a27 for-each-repo: error on bad --config 7: 66b7060f66f = 7: 57db0fcd91f config API users: test for *_get_value_multi() segfaults 8: 0da4cdb3f6a = 8: b374a716555 config API: add "string" version of *_value_multi(), fix segfaults 9: 627eb15a319 = 9: 6791e1f6f85 for-each-repo: with bad config, don't conflate <path> and <cmd> -- 2.40.0.rc1.1034.g5867a1b10c5
