Hi,
I do not understand the sense behind gpg in general and especially not
the sense of gpgme.
But I just took a glance on that funny code:
> > - assert (file_name);
Obivously file_name is expected not to be empty at that point.
> > - new_file_name = strdup (new_file_name);
I never used strdup before. Therefore I used man.
DESCRIPTION
The strdup() function returns a pointer to a new string
which is a duplicate of the string s. Memory for the new
string is obtained with malloc(3), and can be freed with
free(3).
So, strdup does approximately the same as the familiar strcpy, but allocates
memory for the destination, too. That makes sense, if no memory is allocated
for the destination new_file_name. But, in this case the argument of strdup
can not be new_file_name. Most likely one should use file_name (not
new_file-name) as argument instead, which is not empty as asserted before.
