Subject: [PATCH v2 11/13] color: add color_parse_gently()
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 23:55:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ddf6131ac9283bfbf4ec9ec000606765d887e6ec.1771026918.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2044.v2.git.1771026918.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>
When parsing colors, a failed parse leads to an error message due to the
result returning error(). To allow for quiet parsing, create
color_parse_gently().
To accomplish this, convert the implementation of color_parse_mem() into
a static color_parse_mem_1() helper that adds a 'gently' parameter. The
color_parse_gently() method can then use this. Since it is a near
equivalent to color_parse(), move that method down in the file so they
can be nearby while also appearing after color_parse_mem_1().
