Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] banned.h: mark non-reentrant gmtime, etc as banned
Date: Tue,  1 Dec 2020 13:11:37 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201201211138.33850-1-gitster@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <X8aMt2LEiCLkdV9/@nand.local>

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

The traditional gmtime(), localtime(), ctime(), and asctime() functions
return pointers to shared storage. This means they're not thread-safe,
and they also run the risk of somebody holding onto the result across
multiple calls (where each call invalidates the previous result).

All callers should be using their reentrant counterparts.
