Series more unused parameters in parseopt callbacks | expand

Commit Message

We have several parse-options callbacks that ignore their "opt"
parameters entirely. This is a little unusual, as we'd normally put the
result of the parsing into opt->value. In the case of these callbacks,
though, they directly manipulate global variables instead (and in
most cases the caller sets opt->value to NULL in the OPT_CALLBACK
declaration).

The immediate symptom we'd like to deal with is that the unused "opt"
variables trigger -Wunused-parameter. But how to fix that is debatable.
One option is to annotate them with UNUSED. But another is to have the
caller pass in the appropriate variable via opt->value, and use it. That
has the benefit of making the callbacks reusable (in theory at least),
and makes it clear from the OPT_CALLBACK declaration which variables
will be affected (doubly so for the cases in builtin/fast-export.c,
where we do set opt->value, but it is completely ignored!).

The slight downside is that we lose type safety, since they're now
passing through void pointers.

I went with the "just use them" approach here. The loss of type safety
is unfortunate, but that is already an issue with most of the other
callbacks. If we want to try to address that, we should do so more
consistently (and this patch would prepare these callbacks for whatever
we choose to do there).

Note that in the cases in builtin/fast-export.c, we are passing
anonymous enums. We'll have to give them names so that we can declare
the appropriate pointer type within the callbacks.

Which allows turning global variables into local ones later, so unlocks
more cleanup potential.

Makes sense.  The types used below look OK to me.

Not your fault, but these all silently exit if "arg" contains an
unrecognized value.  Reporting the error would be better.

And I wonder if "action" should be replaced by "(after|before|end|start)",
"(addIfDifferent|addIfDifferentNeighbor|add|replace|doNothing)" and
"(doNothing|add)", respectively.  Gets a bit long in the middle, but would
be more helpful.  #leftoverbits

Hmm, yeah. On the config side, git_trailer_default_config() issues a
warning after the functions return -1. I'd have guessed we at least
printed a usage message or something here, but we don't even do that.
You get a silent 129 exit code.

Gross, but it's something I think we should fix separately, as it's
orthogonal to this series.

I don't have a strong opinion. It is sometimes nice to provide more
detail to save the user having to look it up separately. But sometimes
those details can be overwhelming and make it hard to read, especially
if they grow over time. I'm thinking less of "-h" output and more of
people like to put:

  git foo [--optionA|--optionB|--optionC]

and so on, until eventually the options block is like 4 lines long. Just
saying [options] and then listing them is more friendly. I'm not sure if
we're approaching that kind of problem here or not.
