I see.
Yes passing a pointer to pointer is not ideal.
But I still want to be able to use the pattern
t = ref_transaction_begin();
if (!t ||
ref_transaction_update(t, ...) ||
ref_transaction_commit(t, ...)) {
ref_transaction_rollback(t);
Maybe the problem is that ref_transaction_commit() implicitely also
frees the transaction.
What about changing ref_transaction_commit() would NOT free the
transaction and thus a caller would
always have to explicitely free the transaction afterwards?
Something like this :
t = ref_transaction_begin();
if (!t ||
ref_transaction_update(t, ...) ||
ref_transaction_commit(&t, ...)) {
ref_transaction_rollback(t);
}
ref_transaction_free(t);
