@ambv ambv commented Dec 6, 2025

With yesterday's update to the Fedora rawhide Docker image, the new gcc 15.2 started reporting some discarded qualifier warnings, that we treat as errors:

/home/libgit2/source/src/libgit2/attr_file.c: In function 'git_attr_fnmatch__parse':
/home/libgit2/source/src/libgit2/attr_file.c:814:31: error: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
  814 |                 char *slash = strrchr(context, '/');
      |                               ^~~~~~~
At top level:
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

This PR fixes all of them so the build passes in Docker.

cl_git_pass(git_str_join_n(&logpath, '/', 3, git_repository_path(g_repo), GIT_REFLOG_DIR, refname));
cl_git_pass(git_futils_readbuffer(&logcontents, git_str_cstr(&logpath)));
cl_assert((star = strchr(git_str_cstr(&logcontents), '*')) != NULL);
cl_assert((star = strchr(logcontents.ptr, '*')) != NULL);

All of the other cases are trivial, this one's a bit different. It's because we are indeed writing through star in the next line to modify the buffer, so I just used .ptr directly.
