Subject: [PATCH v2] connect.c: remove a few globals by using git_config callback data
Message-ID: <1236739092-8280-1-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1236739092-8280-1-git-send-email-kusmabite%40gmail.com

```
Since ef90d6d (Provide git_config with a callback-data parameter,
2008-05-14), git_config() takes a callback data pointer that can be
used to pass extra parameters to the parsing function.  The codepath
to parse configuration variables related to git proxy predates this
facility and used a pair of file scope static variables instead.

This patch removes the need for these global variables by passing the
name of the host we are trying to access as the callback data.

I see that you still calculate the length everytime 
git_proxy_command_options() is called -- which is for every config 
variable.

The (void *) should not be needed.

Thanks,

Actually, the length-calculation is now moved inside the check for
"core.gitproxy", so it should only trigger for each config variable
that is "core.gitproxy". Hopefully, this should usually be just once
;)

This change was suggested as a compromise by Junio.

Actually, it is - it casts away the const-ness of the string. Removing
the cast generates a warning on my installation of GCC. Perhaps I
should have made that clearer by casting to "char*" instead of
"void*"?

Ah, okay, I am lacking time to read all emails today, so I missed that 
one.

Oh, that's why... Thanks for the clarification!  Now only a space between 
the void and the star, and I am happy!

Ciao,
