Subject: [PATCH] Fix useless comparison bug
Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 10:01:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110526140152.GA19748@localhost> (raw)
The variable 'actual' was declared with a size_t type. In this line:
actual = read_in_full(fd, buf, sz);
read_in_full returns a ssize_t type. Since size_t is unsigned and
ssize_t is signed, the value is implicitly converted from a signed
type to an unsigned type. That makes this comparison useless,
if (actual < 0)
die_errno("index-stream: reading input");
as it will always be false. This means, on an error path, git will
continue when it should die gracefully.
This bug was introduced in 4dd1fbc.
