Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] trace2: remove use of xstrfmt()
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:56:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7f0bb405ad380fd35ae6381961ac667fd7e5dfd9.1787684181.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2178.v2.git.1787684181.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

We continue removing the possibility of a die() in the trace2 API by
banning xstrfmt(), which calls die() during a failure to format. Instead
of allowing a die(), perform a soft failure by failing to output the
trace2 data when such a failure occurs.

This requires carefully concatenating strings using memcpy() to
construct redacted data to avoid copying password information in traced
URLs.
