Subject: [PATCH 4/8 v6] gitweb: Check that $site_header etc. are defined before using them
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:30:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1264890645-28310-5-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1264890645-28310-1-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com>

From: John 'Warthog9' Hawley <warthog9@kernel.org>

If one of $site_header, $site_footer or $home_text is not defined you
get extraneous errors in the web logs, for example (line wrapped for
better readibility):

 [Wed Jan 13 16:55:42 2010] [error] [client ::1] [Wed Jan 13 16:55:42 2010]
 gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $site_header in -f at
 /var/www/gitweb/gitweb.cgi line 3287., referer: http://git/gitweb.cgi

This ensures that those variables are defined before trying to use it.

Note that such error can happen only because of an error in gitweb
config file; building gitweb.cgi can make mentioned variables holding
empty string (it is even the default), but they not undefined.

Changes from version from 'Gitweb caching v5' and
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/warthog9/gitweb.git gitweb-ml-v5

* Check explicitly that $site_header is defined, and not only that it
  is false-ish
* Check also for $site_footer and $home_text being defined
* Slightly more detailed commit message


I have decided not to protect against undefined $projects_list, as
such check would have to be more complicated and quite different from
checks for $site_header, $site_footer and $home_text.

Note that it is purely defensive programming, as this should not
happen unless there are very strange errors in gitweb config file.
