[PATCH 01/10] zero-initialize object_info structs

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Jul 10, 2013, 11:35 UTC
Message-ID
<20130710113526.GA21963@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20130710113447.GA20113@sigill.intra.peff.net>

The sha1_object_info_extended function expects the caller to provide a "struct object_info" which contains pointers to "query" items that will be filled in. The purpose of providing pointers rather than storing the response directly in the struct is so that callers can choose not to incur the expense in finding particular fields that they do not care about.

Right now the only query item is "sizep", and all callers set it explicitly to choose whether or not to query it; they can then leave the rest of the struct uninitialized.

However, as we add new query items, each caller will have to be updated to explicitly turn off the new ones (by setting them to NULL). Instead, let's teach each caller to zero-initialize the struct, so that they do not have to learn about each new query item added.
