I am at a loss here after re-reading your answer over and over,
but I think you are asking if patch_id_cmp can break, as
we have a callchain like
patch_id_cmp
commit_patch_id
(diff_root_tree_oid)
diff_tree_oid
ll_diff_tree_oid
passing diff_options down there, and patch_id_cmp may have
gotten NULL.
The answer is no, it was safe. (by accident?)
That is because we never use hashmap_get_next
on the hashmap that uses patch_id_cmp as the compare
function.
hashmap_get_next is the only function that does not pass
on a keydata, any other has valid caller provided keydata.
Thanks,
Stefan
