# [PATCH] Removed unnecessary use of global variables. 6 messages from 2009-03-11 to 2009-03-11. Participants: Erik Faye-Lund, Johannes Schindelin, Nanako Shiraishi, Junio C Hamano. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/18257 ## Erik Faye-Lund, 2009-03-11 00:09 Subject: [PATCH] Removed unnecessary use of global variables. Message-ID: <1236730168-7164-1-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1236730168-7164-1-git-send-email-kusmabite%40gmail.com ``` git_config() now takes a third data-parameter that is passed back to the callback-function. At the time this code was written, that parameter did not exist, so a somewhat nasty (but by all means correct) use of global variables was introduced. In commit ef90d6d4208a5130185b04f06e5f90a5f9959fe3 Johannes Schindelin introduced a parameter for similar purposes. I've changed the code to utilize this parameter to pass the string. In addition, I've made the function calculate the string length on usage instead, to reduce the parameters needed to what the callback-interface supplies.

Usually, commit messages are held in a more imperative form than a subjective one: Utilize this parameter to pass the string. > diff --git a/connect.c b/connect.c > index 2f23ab3..98fbaea 100644 > --- a/connect.c > +++ b/connect.c > @@ -371,14 +371,13 @@ static void git_tcp_connect(int fd[2], char *host, int flags) > fd[1] = dup(sockfd); > } > > - > static char *git_proxy_command; > -static const char *rhost_name; > -static int rhost_len; > - > static int git_proxy_command_options(const char *var, const char *value, > - void *cb) > + void *data) > { > + const char *rhost_name = data; > + const size_t rhost_len = strlen(rhost_name); > + git_proxy_command_options is called for each and every config variable. The idea of having the length in a local variable was to avoid recalculating the length each and every time. I think I'd actually use a strbuf for that. BTW I would not rename "cb", as it is only distracting the reader of the patch. But I like the idea of your patch (as you can see from me replying ;-) Thanks, Dscho ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2009-03-11 10:31 Subject: Re: Removed unnecessary use of global variables.

I'm curious about two things. 1. Are you and Junio one same person, and if so what made you change your mind during these 8 hours ;-)? 2. Junio said "ef90d6d (Provide git_config with a callback-data parameter, 2008-05-14)" and yours is slightly different. Both are equally readable but I think it would help to make sure everybody uses the same format within one project. Do we need a helper command that everybody can use? -- Nanako Shiraishi http://ivory.ap.teacup.com/nanako3/ ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2009-03-11 22:00 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Removed unnecessary use of global variables.

Last year during Gittogether, Dscho and I were seen in a room sitting parhaps 4 meters apart; I suspect we are different people. http://picasaweb.google.com/dsymonds/GitTogether08#5263025230667494002 > 2.

I use these two aliases while I am writing e-mails quite often: [alias] one = "!sh -c 'git show -s --pretty=\"format:%h (%s, %ai\" \"$@\" | sed -e \"s/ [012][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9] [-+][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$/)/\"' -" who = "!sh -c 'git log -1 --pretty=\"format:%an <%ae>\" --author=\"$1\"' -" ```
