When the RUNTIME_PREFIX compile-time knob isn't set, we never look at the argv0_path we extract. We can push its declaration inside the #ifdef to make it more clear that the extract code is effectively a noop. This also un-confuses leak-checking of the argv0_path variable when RUNTIME_PREFIX isn't set. The compiler is free to drop this static variable that we set but never look at (and "gcc -O2" does so). But the compiler still must call strbuf_detach(), since it doesn't know whether that function has side effects; it just throws away the result rather than putting it into the global. Leak-checkers which work by scanning the data segment for pointers to heap blocks would normally consider the block as reachable at program end. But if the compiler removes the variable entirely, there's nothing to find. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>maint
