This used to be private to this file, shared the same name and most of the values with the one used in rev-list, but not identical (i.e. the new "missing" API knows about MA_PRINT but this side has been unaware of that value). > @@ -3826,33 +3822,39 @@ static void show_object__ma_allow_promisor(struct object *obj, const char *name, > show_object(obj, name, data); > } > > +static show_object_fn show_object_fn_from_action(enum missing_action action) > +{ > + switch (action) { > + case MA_ERROR: > + return show_object; > + case MA_ALLOW_ANY: > + return show_object__ma_allow_any; > + case MA_ALLOW_PROMISOR: > + return show_object__ma_allow_promisor; > + default: > + BUG("invalid missing action %d", action); As this is BUG() to catch programming error, ("%d" % action) is OK; if this were end-user facint, we would also want to pass the "arg" string the caller had only for error reporting. > static int option_parse_missing_action(const struct option *opt UNUSED, > const char *arg, int unset) > { > + int res; > + > assert(arg); > assert(!unset); > > + res = parse_missing_action_value(arg); > + if (res < 0 || (res != MA_ERROR && > + res != MA_ALLOW_ANY && > + res != MA_ALLOW_PROMISOR)) > + die(_("invalid value for '%s': '%s'"), "--missing", arg); What is our expectation for how <missing.h> API would evolve over time? I think it is a given that it will always be a superset of the need of rev-list and the need of pack-objects, but if we were to add a new value of MA_FOO, do we expect that all of the new ones are not handled by pack-objects, Some but not all? Or none of the new ones are handled by pack-objects? Regardless of the answer to that question, I think a simple helper is warranted here, which will also help the [3/3] which adds exactly the same code to upload-pack.c:upload_pack_config(), so that the callers can do res = parse_missing_action_value_for_packing(arg); if (res < 0) die(_("invalid value for '%s': '%s'"), "--missing", arg); something like int parse_missing_action_value_for_packing(const char *arg) { int res = parse_missing_action_value(arg); if (res < 0) return res; switch (res) { case MA_ERROR: case MA_ALLOW_ANY: case MA_ALLOW_PROMISOR: return res; default: return -2 - res; } } here, and also in the other place [3/3] adds. This thin wrapper returns: 0 <= res : MA_FOO values that are OK for packing -1 = res : parse_missing_action_value() failed -1 > res : (2 - res) is the MA_FOO which is unsuitable for packing to allow the caller to recover which value the user gave us that is unsuitable for packing, if it wanted to. > + if (res != MA_ERROR) > fetch_if_missing = 0; > + arg_missing_action = res; > + fn_show_object = show_object_fn_from_action(arg_missing_action); > > - die(_("invalid value for '%s': '%s'"), "--missing", arg); > return 0; > } Hmph, wouldn't a small array of show_object_fn suffice, making the whole thing more like: static show_object_fn const fn[] = { [MA_ERROR] = show_object, [MA_ALLOW_ANY] = show_object__ma_allow_any, [MA_ALLOW_PROMISOR] = show_object__ma_allow_promisor, }; res = parse_missing_action_value_for_packing(arg); if (res < 0 || ARRAY_SIZE[fn] <= res) die(_("invalid value for '%s': '%s'"), "--missing", arg); fn_show_object = fn[res]; return 0; without the need for show_object_fn_from_action() helper function? Other than that, the intention of the code is very clear. Will queue. Thanks.
