[PATCH v2 05/22] reftable/basics: handle allocation failures in `parse_names()`

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Sep 24, 2024, 06:32 UTC
Message-ID
<ad028020df717a57879cf3fdf5a3648bfebd2c78.1727158127.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1727158127.git.ps@pks.im>

Handle allocation failures in `parse_names()` by returning `NULL` in case any allocation fails. While at it, refactor the function to return the array directly instead of assigning it to an out-pointer.
