When creating a new object, we use "deflate(stream, Z_FINISH)" in a loop until it no longer returns Z_OK, and then we do "deflateEnd()" to finish up business. That should all work, but the fact is, it's not how you're _supposed_ to use the zlib return values properly: - deflate() should never return Z_OK in the first place, except if we need to increase the output buffer size (which we're not doing, and should never need to do, since we pre-allocated a buffer that is supposed to be able to hold the output in full). So the "while()" loop was incorrect: Z_OK doesn't actually mean "ok, continue", it means "ok, allocate more memory for me and continue"! - if we got an error return, we would consider it to be end-of-stream, but it could be some internal zlib error. In short, we should check for Z_STREAM_END explicitly, since that's the only valid return value anyway for the Z_FINISH case. - we never checked deflateEnd() return codes at all. Now, admittedly, none of these issues should ever happen, unless there is some internal bug in zlib. So this patch should make zero difference, but it seems to be the right thing to do. We should probablybe anal and check the return value of "deflateInit()" too! Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org.
