It is OK with me.

At the end of this patch series, LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN is only used in two
places outside of lockfile.c:

* In check_refname_component(), to ensure that no component of a
reference name ends with ".lock". This only indirectly has anything to
do with lockfiles.

* In delete_ref_loose(), to derive the name of the loose reference file
from the name of the lockfile. It immediately xmemdupz()s the part of
the filename that it needs, so it is kosher.

I will add a function get_locked_file_path() for the use of the second
caller.

I like being able to use the symbolic constant at the first caller, and
it is not dangerous. I don't think it is so important to make the
constant private, because I think somebody programming sloppily wouldn't
be deterred for long by not seeing a symbolic constant for the suffix
length. So if it's OK with you I'll leave the constant.

Good catch; thanks. I will fix this in the reroll (though probably in a
later patch).

Re: [PATCH v4 10/32] cache.h: define constants LOCK_SUFFIX and LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN

2014-09-11 Thread Ronnie Sahlberg
Maybe we should not have a public constant defined for the length :
+#define LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN 5

since it encourages unsafe code like :  (this was unsafe long before
your patch so not a regression)
+   i = strlen(result_file) - LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN; /* .lock */
result_file[i] = 0;



What about removing LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN from the public API and introduce
a helper function something like :


/* pointer to the character where the lock suffix starts */
char *lock_suffix_ptr_safe(const char *filename)
{
size_t len = strlen(filename);
if (len < 5)
   die("BUG:...
if (strcmp(filename + len - 5, LOCK_SUFFIX)
   die("BUG:...
return filename + len - 5;
}

and use it instead?

Not a new bug since the previous code is broken too.
Should probably checkstrlen(result_file) >= 5 here before subtracting 5.

Otherwise, a caller that calls commit_lock_file() with an already
committed/closed  lock_file can cause writing outside the bounds of
the array on the line below.

There are a few places that use these values, so define constants for
