Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] strbuf: replace strbuf_grow() in strbuf_attach() with BUG() check
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 14:09:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <557fd77444dcf68277fea7c1a57dae07b2ec993d.1771423748.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2008.v4.git.1771423748.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Vaidas Pilkauskas <vaidas.pilkauskas@shopify.com>
strbuf_attach() documents that alloc must be larger than len, as the
buffer must have room for the NUL terminator. Replace the strbuf_grow(sb, 0)
call, which was silently reallocating when alloc <= len, with an explicit
BUG() to enforce this contract and write the NUL terminator directly.
