[Opensync-devel] trying to understand the duplicate callback

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

Hi Daniel,

While fixing leaks, I ran across the following function in the xmlformat
plugin:

http://repo.or.cz/w/opensync/xmlformat-cdf.git/commitdiff/d6bf4461281d96bfeb4bc593a087c04c6e232d3f

I've removed all the dead code (which contained a leak), but while it looks
correct, and the sync continues to work without that dead code, it looks
kinda odd.

I just wanted to confirm:  is is true that the duplicate callback is only
for duplicating the UID?  Why is there an output/outsize mechanism involved
in that case?

How else can the duplicate callback be used?

Thanks!
- Chris
