From: Thomas Haller Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 08:36:17 +0000 (+0100) Subject: hashmap: always set key output argument of internal_hashmap_first_key_and_value() X-Git-Tag: v241~19^2 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51c682df38fa032599c6c0e4556136c7d6d7c504;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fsystemd.git hashmap: always set key output argument of internal_hashmap_first_key_and_value() internal_hashmap_first_key_and_value() returns the first value, or %NULL if the hashmap is empty. However, hashmaps may contain %NULL values. That means, a caller getting %NULL doesn't know whether the hashmap is empty or whether the first value is %NULL. For example, a caller may be tempted to do something like: if ((val = hashmap_steal_first_key_and_value (h, (void **) key))) { // process first entry. } But this is only correct if the caller made sure that the hash is either not empty or contains no NULL values. Anyway, since a %NULL return value can signal an empty hash or a %NULL value, it seems error prone to leave the key output argument uninitialized in situations that the caller cannot clearly distinguish (without making additional assumptions). --- diff --git a/src/basic/hashmap.c b/src/basic/hashmap.c index 80fec8f..66e9e00 100644 --- a/src/basic/hashmap.c +++ b/src/basic/hashmap.c @@ -1516,8 +1516,11 @@ void *internal_hashmap_first_key_and_value(HashmapBase *h, bool remove, void **r unsigned idx; idx = find_first_entry(h); - if (idx == IDX_NIL) + if (idx == IDX_NIL) { + if (ret_key) + *ret_key = NULL; return NULL; + } e = bucket_at(h, idx); key = (void*) e->key;
