For historical reasons, the config parser relies on the trailing '\0' to detect the end of the line being parsed. When the lines started to be tokenized into arguments, this principle has been preserved, and now all the parsers rely on *args[arg]='\0' to detect the end of a line. But as reported in issue #2944, while most of the time it breaks the parsing like below: http-request deny if { path_dir '' } it can also cause some elements to be silently ignored like below: acl bad_path path_sub '%2E' '' '%2F' This may also subtly happen with environment variables that don't exist or which are empty: acl bad_path path_sub '%2E' "$BAD_PATTERN" '%2F' Fortunately, parse_line() returns the number of arguments found, so it's easy from the callers to verify if any was empty. The goal of this commit is not to perform sensitive changes, it's only to mention when parsing a line that an empty argument was found and alert about its consequences using a warning. Most of the time when this happens, the config does not parse. But for examples as the ACLs above, there could be consequences that are better detected early. This patch depends on this previous fix: BUG/MINOR: tools: do not create an empty arg from trailing spaces Co-authored-by: Valentine Krasnobaeva <vkrasnobaeva@haproxy.com> |
