Most of our semantic patches in 'contrib/coccinelle/object_id.cocci'
turn calls of SHA1-specific functions into calls of their
corresponding object_id counterparts, e.g. sha1_to_hex() to
oid_to_hex(). These semantic patches look something like this:
@@
expression E1;
@@
- sha1_to_hex(E1.hash)
+ oid_to_hex(&E1)
and match the access to the 'hash' field in any data type, not only in
'struct object_id', and, consquently, can produce wrong
transformations.
Case in point is the recent hash function transition patch "rerere:
convert to use the_hash_algo" [1], which, among other things, renamed
'struct rerere_dir's 'sha1' field to 'hash', and then 'make
coccicheck' started to suggest the following wrong transformations for
'rerere.c' [2]:
- return sha1_to_hex(id->collection->hash);
+ return oid_to_hex(id->collection);
and
- DIR *dir = opendir(git_path("rr-cache/%s", sha1_to_hex(rr_dir->hash)));
+ DIR *dir = opendir(git_path("rr-cache/%s", oid_to_hex(rr_dir)));
Avoid such wrong transformations by tightening semantic patches in
'object_id.cocci' to match only type of or pointers to 'struct
object_id'.
