[PATCH v2 8/9] mailmap: debug: avoid passing NULL to fprintf() '%s' directive

From
Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
Date
Jul 15, 2013, 06:54 UTC
Message-ID
<1373871253-96480-9-git-send-email-sunshine@sunshineco.com>
In-Reply-To
<1373871253-96480-1-git-send-email-sunshine@sunshineco.com>

POSIX does not state the behavior of format directive '%s' when passed a NULL pointer. Some implementations interpolate literal "(null)"; others may crash. Callers of debug_mm() often pass NULL as indication of either a missing name or email address. Instead, let's always supply a proper string pointer, and make it a bit more descriptive: "(none)"
