progress: store throughput display in a strbuf
Coverity noticed that we strncpy() into a fixed-size buffer without making sure that it actually ended up NUL-terminated. This is unlikely to be a bug in practice, since throughput strings rarely hit 32 characters, but it would be nice to clean it up. The most obvious way to do so is to add a NUL-terminator. But instead, this patch switches the fixed-size buffer out for a strbuf. At first glance this seems much less efficient, until we realize that filling in the fixed-size buffer is done by writing into a strbuf and copying the result! By writing straight to the buffer, we actually end up more efficient: 1. We avoid an extra copy of the bytes. 2. Rather than malloc/free each time progress is shown, we can strbuf_reset and use the same buffer each time. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
