Ever since 862e730ec1 (commit-slab: introduce slabname##_peek()
function, 2015-05-14) the slabname##_peek() function is documented as:
This function is similar to indegree_at(), but it will return NULL
until a call to indegree_at() was made for the commit.
This, however, is usually not the case. If indegree_at() allocates
memory, then it will do so not only for the single commit it got as
parameter, but it will allocate a whole new, ~512kB slab. Later on,
if any other commit's 'index' field happens to point into an already
allocated slab, then indegree_peek() for such a commit will return a
valid non-NULL pointer, pointing to a zero-initialized location in the
slab, even if no indegree_at() call has been made for that commit yet.
Update slabname##_peek()'s documentation to clarify this.

/*
|
|
* define_commit_slab(slabname, elemtype) creates boilerplate code to define
|
|
* a new struct (struct slabname) that is used to associate a piece of data
|
|
* of elemtype to commits, and a few functions to use that struct.
|
|
*
|
|
* After including this header file, using:
|
|
*
|
|
* define_commit_slab(indegree, int);
|
|
*
|
|
* will let you call the following functions:
|
|
*
|
|
* - int *indegree_at(struct indegree *, struct commit *);
|
|
*
|
|
* This function locates the data associated with the given commit in
|
|
* the indegree slab, and returns the pointer to it. The location to
|
|
* store the data is allocated as necessary.
|
|
*
|
|
* - int *indegree_peek(struct indegree *, struct commit *);
|
|
*
|
|
* This function is similar to indegree_at(), but it will return NULL
|
|
* if the location to store the data associated with the given commit
|
|
* has not been allocated yet.
|
|
* Note that the location to store the data might have already been
|
|
* allocated even if no indegree_at() call has been made for that commit
|
|
* yet; in this case this function returns a pointer to a
|
|
* zero-initialized location.
|
|
*
|
|
* - void init_indegree(struct indegree *);
|
|
* void init_indegree_with_stride(struct indegree *, int);
|
|
*
|
|
* Initializes the indegree slab that associates an array of integers
|
|
* to each commit. 'stride' specifies how big each array is. The slab
|
|
* that is initialized by the variant without "_with_stride" associates
|
|
* each commit with an array of one integer.
|
|
*
|
|
* - void clear_indegree(struct indegree *);
|
|
*
|
|
* Empties the slab. The slab can be reused with the same stride
|
|
* without calling init_indegree() again or can be reconfigured to a
|
|
* different stride by calling init_indegree_with_stride().
|
|
*
|
|
* Call this function before the slab falls out of scope to avoid
|
|
* leaking memory.
