pretty: Fix bug in truncation support for %>, %< and %><
Some systems experience failures in t4205-*.sh (tests 18-20, 27) which all relate to the use of truncation with the %< padding placeholder. This capability was added in the commit a7f01c6b ("pretty: support truncating in %>, %< and %><", 19-04-2013). The truncation support was implemented with the assistance of a new strbuf function (strbuf_utf8_replace). This function contains the following code: strbuf_attach(sb_src, strbuf_detach(&sb_dst, NULL), sb_dst.len, sb_dst.alloc); Unfortunately, this code is subject to unspecified behaviour. In particular, the order of evaluation of the argument expressions (along with the associated side effects) is not specified by the C standard. Note that the second argument expression is a call to strbuf_detach() which, as a side effect, sets the 'len' and 'alloc' fields of the sb_dst argument to zero. Depending on the order of evaluation of the argument expressions to the strbuf_attach call, this can lead to assigning an empty string to 'sb_src'. In order to remove the undesired behaviour, we replace the above line of code with: strbuf_swap(sb_src, &sb_dst); strbuf_release(&sb_dst); which achieves the desired effect without provoking unspecified behaviour.
