Subject: [PATCH 2/3] create_snapshot(): exit early if the file was empty
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 13:17:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <02915e24958741927467ed750e9782d02ec40c80.1516017331.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180114191416.2368-1-kgybels@infogroep.be>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1516017331.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
If the `packed_refs` files is entirely empty (i.e., not even a header
line), then `load_contents()` returns 1 even though `snapshot->buf`
and `snapshot->eof` both end up set to NULL. In that case, the
subsequent processing that `create_snapshot()` does is unnecessary,
and also involves computing `NULL - NULL` and `NULL + 0`, which are
probably safe in real life but are technically undefined in C.
Sidestep both issues by exiting early if `snapshot->buf` is NULL.
