Thanks for the analysis. I think moreover we *only* need to check the
"stringp" for NULL, not the return value of strsep(), which would never
be NULL in our case. So I propose the attached patch as a variant of yours.
I'm not 100% sure, but the contrib passwordcheck uses and It's not very safe.
The checks of NULL return are cheap, and will protect unwary users.
So I'm neutral here.
I also wonder, if other places touched by 5d2e1cc11 need corrections too.
I played with
PG_COLOR=always PG_COLORS="error=01;31" .../initdb
and it looks like this free() call in pg_logging_init():
char *colors = strdup(pg_colors_env);
if (colors)
{
...
while ((token = strsep(&colors, ":")))
{
...
}
free(colors);
}
gets null in colors.
Best regards,
Alexander
