From 962dd7ebc3e76afc2c896d377c319f8140966303 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Martin=20=C3=85gren?= Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2020 15:15:43 +0200 Subject: wt-status: introduce wt_status_state_free_buffers() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When we have a `struct wt_status_state`, we manually free its `branch`, `onto` and `detached_from`, or sometimes just one or two of them. Provide a function `wt_status_state_free_buffers()` which does the freeing. The callers are still aware of these fields, e.g., they check whether `branch` was populated or not. But this way, they don't need to know about *all* of them, and if `struct wt_status_state` gets more fields, they will not need to learn to free them. Users of `struct wt_status` (which contains a `wt_status_state`) already have `wt_status_collect_free_buffers()` (corresponding to `wt_status_collect()`) which we can also teach to use this new helper. Finally, note that we're currently leaving dangling pointers behind. Some callers work on a stack-allocated struct, where this is obviously ok. But for the users of `run_status()` in builtin/commit.c, there are ample opportunities for someone to mistakenly use those dangling pointers. We seem to be ok for now, but it's a use-after-free waiting to happen. Let's leave NULL-pointers behind instead.
