[v2,0/3] line-log: protect inner strbuf from free

Message

Philippe Blain via GitGitGadget Oct. 3, 2024, 11:58 a.m. UTC

This fixes a regression introduced in 2.46.0.

The change made in 394affd46d (line-log: always allocate the output prefix,
2024-06-07) made the method more consistent in that it did not return a
static empty string that would fail to free(), but it does lead to
double-frees when a strbuf buffer is freed multiple times.

In v2, I add Peff's test to the first patch. I also split his diff into two
more follow-up patches because the additional clarity seems valuable to me.
I have forged his sign-off in all three patches.

Note to the maintainer: feel free to take only the first patch, as Peff
replied that he may work on the remaining cleanup independently (but I had
already prepared patches 2 & 3).

Thanks, -Stolee
