In the if-else's chain we have in "check_test_results_san_file_", we consider three variables: $passes_sanitize_leak, $sanitize_leak_check and, implicitly, GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG (always set to "true" at that point). For the first two variables we have different considerations depending on the value of $test_failure, which makes sense. However, for the third, GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG, we don't; regardless of $test_failure, we use "invert_exit_code=t" to produce a non-zero return value. That assumes "$test_failure" is always zero at that point. But it may not be: $ git checkout v2.40.1 $ make test SANITIZE=leak T=t3200-branch.sh # this fails $ make test SANITIZE=leak GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true T=t3200-branch.sh # this succeeds [...] With GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true, our logs revealed a memory leak, exiting with a non-zero status! # faked up failures as TODO & now exiting with 0 due to --invert-exit-code We need to use "invert_exit_code=t" only when "$test_failure" is zero. Let's add the missing conditions in the if-else's chain to make it work as expected.
