[PATCH v5 00/27] Compile with `-Wwrite-strings`

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

 



Hi,

this is another version of my patch series that prepares our code base
to compile with `-Wwrite-strings`. The effect of that warning is to turn
string constants from type `char []` to `const char []` so that we can
detect more readily when something may accidentally try to write to or
free a constant.

Changes compared to v5:

  - Plug a memory leak in `pretend_object_file()`.

  - Drop `rebase_options_init()` in favor of `REBASE_OPTIONS_INIT`.

Thanks!

Patrick

         The `struct rebase_options::default_backend` field is a non-constant
         string, but is being assigned a constant via `REBASE_OPTIONS_INIT`.
    -    Refactor the code to initialize and release options via two functions
    -    `rebase_options_init()` and `rebase_options_release()`. Like this, we
    -    can easily adapt the former funnction to use `xstrdup()` on the default
    -    value without hiding it away in a macro.
    +    Fix this by using `xstrdup()` to assign the variable and introduce a new
    +    function `rebase_options_release()` that releases memory held by the
    +    structure, including the newly-allocated variable.
