2010-10-18prefix_filename(): safely handle the case where pfx_len=0Libravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+2
Current prefix_filename() is proofed against the case where the prefix 'pfx' is NULL or a 0-length string, _except on Windows_. Change the behaviour to work the same on both platforms, and only check pfx_len so that callers passing a NULL prefix with a nonzero pfx_len segfault early on both.

2010-10-06work around buggy S_ISxxx(m) implementationsLibravatar René Scharfe1-3/+10
There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms (e.g. NetBSD). The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have S_ISREG(m) defined as something like: (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG) But on NetBSD: ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG) Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644' this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

2010-10-06xdiff: cast arguments for ctype functions to unsigned charLibravatar Jonathan Nieder3-10/+11
The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF. On platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them without casting it to unsigned char first. Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

2010-10-03setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent bufferLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+3
If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery sequence and .git is a file with the text gitdir: <path> (with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using make_absolute_path(). Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static buffer that is overwritten by later calls. Such a call could cause later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read the wrong path, leaving git very confused. It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
