From 342c513a4ae100354097a9ca99a080eeb7e70c0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 21 May 2018 16:54:27 +0200 Subject: argv-array: return the pushed string from argv_push*() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Such an API change allows us to use an argv_array this way: struct argv_array to_free = ARGV_ARRAY_INIT; const char *msg; if (some condition) { msg = "constant string message"; ... other logic ... } else { msg = argv_array_pushf(&to_free, "format %s", var); } ... use "msg" ... ... do other things ... argv_array_clear(&to_free); Note that argv_array_pushl() and argv_array_pushv() are used to push one or more strings with a single call, so we do not return any one of these strings from these two functions in order to reduce the chance to misuse the API.
