use write_str_in_full helper to avoid literal string lengths
In
2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:
- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);
IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,
static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}
and then use it like this:
- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");
Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.
Transformed via this:
perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
$(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')
