Well, one could exclude the name part from zeroing, that's true. It's usually safer to zero a whole block of memory right at allocation time, lest one forgets, though. I simply kept it they way it was done before. That said, here's a patch (4/3): diff --git a/remote.c b/remote.c index e530a21..184115d 100644 --- a/remote.c +++ b/remote.c @@ -753,9 +753,10 @@ static struct ref *alloc_ref_with_prefix(const char *prefix, size_t prefixlen, const char *name) { size_t len = strlen(name); - struct ref *ref = xcalloc(1, sizeof(struct ref) + prefixlen + len + 1); + struct ref *ref = xmalloc(sizeof(struct ref) + prefixlen + len + 1); + memset(ref, sizeof(struct ref)); memcpy(ref->name, prefix, prefixlen); - memcpy(ref->name + prefixlen, name, len); + memcpy(ref->name + prefixlen, name, len + 1); return ref; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
