The cppcheck static analyzer generates warnings for a bunch of
places in the libgit2 code base. All the ones fixed in this
commit are actually false positives, but I've reorganized the
code to hopefully make it easier for static analysis tools to
correctly understand the structure. I wouldn't do this if I
felt like it was making the code harder to read or worse for
humans, but in this case, these fixes don't seem too bad and will
hopefully make it easier for better analysis tools to get at any
real issues.
If gethostbyname() fails on platforms with NO_ADDRINFO, the code
leaks the struct addrinfo that was allocated. This fixes that
(and a number of code formatting issues in that area of code in
src/posix.c).
There were a number of functions assigning their return value to
`error` without much explanation. I added in some rudimentary
error checking to help flesh out the example.
Also, I reformatted all of the comments down to 80 cols (and in
some cases, slightly updated the wording).
`git_diff_blobs` and `git_diff_blob_to_buffer` skip the step
where we check file attributes because they don't have a filename
associated with the data. Unfortunately, this meant they were also
skipping the check for the GIT_DIFF_FORCE_TEXT option and so you
could not force a diff of an apparent binary file. This adds the
force text check into their code path.
The callback will be called for each file, just before the `git_delta_t` gets inserted into the diff list.
When the callback:
- returns < 0, the diff process will be aborted
- returns > 0, the delta will not be inserted into the diff list, but the diff process continues
- returns 0, the delta is inserted into the diff list, and the diff process continues
Instead of returning directly the pattern as the return value, I used an
out parameter, because the function also tests if the passed pathspecs
vector is empty. If yes, it considers that the path "matches", but in
that case there is no matched pattern per se.
