Subject: [PATCH 3/5] config: add BUG() statement instead of possible segfault
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2022 14:08:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f277a7a429db8f54fa06dd1965d62ec491e6d84b.1664287711.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1369.git.1664287711.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The git_die_config() method calls git_config_get_value_multi() but
immediately navigates to its first value without checking if the result
is NULL or empty. Callers should only call git_die_config() if there is
at least one value for the given 'key', but such a mistaken use might
slip through. It would be better to show a BUG() statement than a
possible segfault.
