2016-09-21regex: -G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and failsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+22
When our pickaxe code feeds file contents to regexec(), it implicitly assumes that the file contents are read into implicitly NUL-terminated buffers (i.e. that we overallocate by 1, appending a single '\0'). This is not so. In particular when the file contents are simply mmap()ed, we can be virtually certain that the buffer is preceding uninitialized bytes, or invalid pages. Note that the test we add here is known to be flakey: we simply cannot know whether the byte following the mmap()ed ones is a NUL or not. Typically, on Linux the test passes. On Windows, it fails virtually every time due to an access violation (that's a segmentation fault for you Unix-y people out there). And Windows would be correct: the regexec() call wants to operate on a regular, NUL-terminated string, there is no NUL in the mmap()ed memory range, and it is undefined whether the next byte is even legal to access. When run with --valgrind it demonstrates quite clearly the breakage, of course. Being marked with `test_expect_failure`, this test will sometimes be declare "TODO fixed", even if it only passes by mistake. This test case represents a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example of a breakage reported by Chris Sidi.

2016-05-31Merge branch 'jk/test-send-sh-x-trace-elsewhere' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-3/+16
Running tests with '-x' option to trace the individual command executions is a useful way to debug test scripts, but some tests that capture the standard error stream and check what the command said can be broken with the trace output mixed in. When running our tests under "bash", however, we can redirect the trace output to another file descriptor to keep the standard error of programs being tested intact. * jk/test-send-sh-x-trace-elsewhere: test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automatically
2016-05-31Merge branch 'js/name-rev-use-oldest-ref' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-7/+14
"git describe --contains" often made a hard-to-justify choice of tag to give name to a given commit, because it tried to come up with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag. It did not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to penalize being on a side branch of a merge. The logic has been updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit in terms of the (chronologically) oldest tag that contains the commit." * js/name-rev-use-oldest-ref: name-rev: include taggerdate in considering the best name

2016-05-26mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals (/dev/pty*)Libravatar Karsten Blees2-5/+56
MSYS2 emulates pseudo terminals via named pipes, and isatty() returns 0 for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality (such as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated etc.) doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSYS2's ptys (such as mintty). However, MSYS2 uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'), which allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output. On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust the flags in MSVCRT's ioinfo structure accordingly.

2016-05-26archive-tar: convert snprintf to xsnprintfLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Commit f2f0267 (archive-tar: use xsnprintf for trivial formatting, 2015-09-24) converted cases of "sprintf" to "xsnprintf", but accidentally left one as just "snprintf". This meant that we could silently truncate the resulting buffer instead of flagging an error. In practice, this is impossible to achieve, as we are formatting a ustar checksum, which can be at most 7 characters. But the point of xsnprintf is to document and check for "should be impossible" conditions; this site was just accidentally mis-converted during f2f0267.
