Re: [PATCH 3/3] Add threaded versions of functions in symlinks.c.

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:53:12

Jared Hance [off-list ref] writes:
check_leading_patch and has_dirs_only_path both always use the default
s/patch/path/;
cache, which could be a caveat for adding parallelism (which is a
concern and even a GSoC proposal). This patch implements
threaded_check_leading_path and threading threaded_has_dirs_only_path
and then implements the nonthreaded functions in terms of their threaded
equivalents. No functional should be changed.

Ok, so these FIXME's started at 867f72b (Prepare symlink caching for
thread-safety, 2009-07-09) and some of them were taken care of at b9fd284
(Export thread-safe version of 'has_symlink_leading_path()', 2009-07-09),
that follows it.  The latter left these two FIXMEs behind.

I wonder why. I suspect that it is merely because it wasn't necessary to
call these two functions from threaded context at all.

The patch changes no behaviour and should be safe, I would think.
