Move missing bits to strbuf.h so that programmers + can check only one place for all necessary information. + + * The error handling functions and conventions are now documented in + the API manual. + + * Optimize attribute look-up, mostly useful in "git grep" on a + project that does not use many attributes, by avoiding it when we + (should) know that the attributes are not defined in the first + place. + + * Typofix in comments. + (merge ef2956a ak/git-pm-typofix later to maint). + + * Code clean-up. + (merge 0b868f0 sb/hex-object-name-is-at-most-41-bytes-long later to maint). + (merge 5d30851 dp/remove-duplicated-header-inclusion later to maint). + + * Simplify the ref transaction API around how "the ref should be + pointing at this object" is specified. + + * Code in "git daemon" to parse out and hold hostnames used in + request interpolation has been simplified. + + * "git push" codepath has been restructured to make it easier to add + new configuration bits. + + * The run-command interface was easy to abuse and make a pipe for us + to read from the process, wait for the process to finish and then + attempt to read its output, which is a pattern that lead to a + deadlock. Fix such uses by introducing a helper to do this + correctly (i.e. we need to read first and then wait the process to + finish) and also add code to prevent such abuse in the run-command + helper. + + * People often forget to chain the commands in their test together + with &&, leaving a failure from an earlier command in the test go + unnoticed.

This string _must_ be - malloc()ed, and after attaching, the pointer cannot be relied upon - anymore, and neither be free()d directly. - -`strbuf_swap`:: - - Swap the contents of two string buffers. - -* Related to the size of the buffer - -`strbuf_avail`:: - - Determine the amount of allocated but unused memory. - -`strbuf_grow`:: - - Ensure that at least this amount of unused memory is available after - `len`. This is used when you know a typical size for what you will add - and want to avoid repetitive automatic resizing of the underlying buffer. - This is never a needed operation, but can be critical for performance in - some cases. - -`strbuf_setlen`:: - - Set the length of the buffer to a given value. This function does *not* - allocate new memory, so you should not perform a `strbuf_setlen()` to a - length that is larger than `len + strbuf_avail()`. `strbuf_setlen()` is - just meant as a 'please fix invariants from this strbuf I just messed - with'. - -`strbuf_reset`:: - - Empty the buffer by setting the size of it to zero. - -* Related to the contents of the buffer - -`strbuf_trim`:: - - Strip whitespace from the beginning and end of a string. - Equivalent to performing `strbuf_rtrim()` followed by `strbuf_ltrim()`. - -`strbuf_rtrim`:: - - Strip whitespace from the end of a string. - -`strbuf_ltrim`:: - - Strip whitespace from the beginning of a string. - -`strbuf_reencode`:: - - Replace the contents of the strbuf with a reencoded form. Returns -1 - on error, 0 on success. - -`strbuf_tolower`:: - - Lowercase each character in the buffer using `tolower`. - -`strbuf_cmp`:: - - Compare two buffers. Returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater - than zero if the first buffer is found, respectively, to be less than, - to match, or be greater than the second buffer. - -* Adding data to the buffer - -NOTE: All of the functions in this section will grow the buffer as necessary. -If they fail for some reason other than memory shortage and the buffer hadn't -been allocated before (i.e. the `struct strbuf` was set to `STRBUF_INIT`), -then they will free() it. - -`strbuf_addch`:: - - Add a single character to the buffer. - -`strbuf_addchars`:: - - Add a character the specified number of times to the buffer. - -`strbuf_insert`:: - - Insert data to the given position of the buffer. The remaining contents - will be shifted, not overwritten. - -`strbuf_remove`:: - - Remove given amount of data from a given position of the buffer. - -`strbuf_splice`:: - - Remove the bytes between `pos..pos+len` and replace it with the given - data. - -`strbuf_add_commented_lines`:: - - Add a NUL-terminated string to the buffer. Each line will be prepended - by a comment character and a blank. - -`strbuf_add`:: - - Add data of given length to the buffer. - -`strbuf_addstr`:: - -Add a NUL-terminated string to the buffer. -+ -NOTE: This function will *always* be implemented as an inline or a macro -that expands to: -+ ----- -strbuf_add(..., s, strlen(s)); ----- -+ -Meaning that this is efficient to write things like: -+ ----- -strbuf_addstr(sb, "immediate string"); ----- - -`strbuf_addbuf`:: - - Copy the contents of another buffer at the end of the current one. - -`strbuf_adddup`:: - - Copy part of the buffer from a given position till a given length to the - end of the buffer. - -`strbuf_expand`:: - - This function can be used to expand a format string containing - placeholders. To that end, it parses the string and calls the specified - function for every percent sign found. -+ -The callback function is given a pointer to the character after the `%` -and a pointer to the struct strbuf. It is expected to add the expanded -version of the placeholder to the strbuf, e.g. to add a newline -character if the letter `n` appears after a `%`. The function returns -the length of the placeholder recognized and `strbuf_expand()` skips -over it. -+ -The format `%%` is automatically expanded to a single `%` as a quoting -mechanism; callers do not need to handle the `%` placeholder themselves, -and the callback function will not be invoked for this placeholder. -+ -All other characters (non-percent and not skipped ones) are copied -verbatim to the strbuf. If the callback returned zero, meaning that the -placeholder is unknown, then the percent sign is copied, too. -+ -In order to facilitate caching and to make it possible to give -parameters to the callback, `strbuf_expand()` passes a context pointer, -which can be used by the programmer of the callback as she sees fit. - -`strbuf_expand_dict_cb`:: - - Used as callback for `strbuf_expand()`, expects an array of - struct strbuf_expand_dict_entry as context, i.e. pairs of - placeholder and replacement string. The array needs to be - terminated by an entry with placeholder set to NULL. - -`strbuf_addbuf_percentquote`:: - - Append the contents of one strbuf to another, quoting any - percent signs ("%") into double-percents ("%%") in the - destination. This is useful for literal data to be fed to either - strbuf_expand or to the *printf family of functions. - -`strbuf_humanise_bytes`:: - - Append the given byte size as a human-readable string (i.e. 12.23 KiB, - 3.50 MiB). - -`strbuf_addf`:: - - Add a formatted string to the buffer. - -`strbuf_commented_addf`:: - - Add a formatted string prepended by a comment character and a - blank to the buffer. - -`strbuf_fread`:: - - Read a given size of data from a FILE* pointer to the buffer. -+ -NOTE: The buffer is rewound if the read fails. If -1 is returned, -`errno` must be consulted, like you would do for `read(3)`. -`strbuf_read()`, `strbuf_read_file()` and `strbuf_getline()` has the -same behaviour as well. - -`strbuf_read`:: - - Read the contents of a given file descriptor. The third argument can be - used to give a hint about the file size, to avoid reallocs. - -`strbuf_read_file`:: - - Read the contents of a file, specified by its path. The third argument - can be used to give a hint about the file size, to avoid reallocs. - -`strbuf_readlink`:: - - Read the target of a symbolic link, specified by its path. The third - argument can be used to give a hint about the size, to avoid reallocs. - -`strbuf_getline`:: - - Read a line from a FILE *, overwriting the existing contents - of the strbuf. The second argument specifies the line - terminator character, typically `'\n'`. - Reading stops after the terminator or at EOF. The terminator - is removed from the buffer before returning. Returns 0 unless - there was nothing left before EOF, in which case it returns `EOF`. - -`strbuf_getwholeline`:: - - Like `strbuf_getline`, but keeps the trailing terminator (if - any) in the buffer. - -`strbuf_getwholeline_fd`:: - - Like `strbuf_getwholeline`, but operates on a file descriptor. - It reads one character at a time, so it is very slow. Do not - use it unless you need the correct position in the file - descriptor. - -`strbuf_getcwd`:: - - Set the buffer to the path of the current working directory. - -`strbuf_add_absolute_path` - - Add a path to a buffer, converting a relative path to an - absolute one in the process. Symbolic links are not - resolved. - -`stripspace`:: - - Strip whitespace from a buffer. The second parameter controls if - comments are considered contents to be removed or not. - -`strbuf_split_buf`:: -`strbuf_split_str`:: -`strbuf_split_max`:: -`strbuf_split`:: - - Split a string or strbuf into a list of strbufs at a specified - terminator character. The returned substrings include the - terminator characters. Some of these functions take a `max` - parameter, which, if positive, limits the output to that - number of substrings. - -`strbuf_list_free`:: - - Free a list of strbufs (for example, the return values of the - `strbuf_split()` functions). - -`launch_editor`:: - - Launch the user preferred editor to edit a file and fill the buffer - with the file's contents upon the user completing their editing. The - third argument can be used to set the environment which the editor is - run in. If the buffer is NULL the editor is launched as usual but the - file's contents are not read into the buffer upon completion. diff --git a/Documentation/technical/protocol-capabilities.txt b/Documentation/technical/protocol-capabilities.txt index 6d5424c1bd..4f8a7bfb4c 100644 --- a/Documentation/technical/protocol-capabilities.txt +++ b/Documentation/technical/protocol-capabilities.txt @@ -18,8 +18,9 @@ was sent.
