Subject: [PATCH v2 06/10] blob.c: remove parse_blob_buffer()
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2021 14:50:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-06.10-02c8d2a9ba-20210420T124428Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-00.10-0000000000-20210420T124428Z-avarab@gmail.com>

As noted in the comment introduced in 837d395a5c0 (Replace
parse_blob() with an explanatory comment, 2010-01-18) the old
parse_blob() function and the parse_blob_buffer() existed to provide
consistency in the API.

See bd2c39f58f9 ([PATCH] don't load and decompress objects twice with
parse_object(), 2005-05-06) for the introduction of
parse_blob_buffer().

We're not going to parse blobs like we "parse" commits, trees or
tags. So we should not have the parse_blob_buffer() take arguments
that pretends that we do. Its only use is to set the "parsed" flag.

So let's entirely remove the function, and use our newly created
create_blob() for the allocation. We can then set the "parsed" flag
directly in parse_object_buffer() and parse_object() instead.

At this point I could move the comment added in 837d395a5c0 to one or
both of those object.c function, but let's just delete it instead. I
think it's obvious from the flow of the code what's going on
here. Setting the parsed flag no longer happens at a distance, so why
we're doing it isn't unclear anymore.
