2020-11-30MyFirstObjectWalk: drop `init_walken_defaults()`Libravatar Martin Ågren1-24/+0
In a recent commit, we stopped calling `init_grep_defaults()` from this function. Thus, by the end of the tutorial, we still haven't added any contents to this function. Let's remove it for simplicity. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-11-21grep: use designated initializers for `grep_defaults`Libravatar Martin Ågren1-9/+1
In 15fabd1bbd ("builtin/grep.c: make configuration callback more reusable", 2012-10-09), we learned to fill a `static struct grep_opt grep_defaults` which we can use as a blueprint for other such structs. At the time, we didn't consider designated initializers to be widely useable, but these days, we do. (See, e.g., cbc0f81d96 ("strbuf: use designated initializers in STRBUF_INIT", 2017-07-10).) Use designated initializers to let the compiler set up the struct and so that we don't need to remember to call `init_grep_defaults()`.

2020-11-21grep: don't set up a "default" repo for grepLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
`init_grep_defaults()` fills a `static struct grep_opt grep_defaults`. This struct is then used by `grep_init()` as a blueprint for other such structs. Notably, `grep_init()` takes a `struct repo *` and assigns it into the target struct. As a result, it is unnecessary for us to take a `struct repo *` in `init_grep_defaults()` as well. We assign it into the default struct and never look at it again. And in light of how we return early if we have already set up the default struct, it's not just unnecessary, but is also a bit confusing: If we are called twice and with different repos, is it a bug or a feature that we ignore the second repo? Drop the repo parameter for `init_grep_defaults()`. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-03-30MyFirstObjectWalk: remove unnecessary conditional statementLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+0
In the given example, `commit` cannot be `NULL` (because this is the loop condition: if it was `NULL`, the loop body would not be entered at all). It took this developer a moment or two to see that this is therefore dead code. Let's remove it, to avoid puzzling future readers.

2019-11-18cache: move doc to cache.hLibravatar Heba Waly1-3/+2
Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-allocation-growing.txt to cache.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file. Also documentation/technical/api-allocation-growing.txt is removed because the information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and synchronized with the documentation in the header file.

2019-10-12documentation: add tutorial for object walkingLibravatar Emily Shaffer1-0/+906
Existing documentation on object walks seems to be primarily intended as a reference for those already familiar with the procedure. This tutorial attempts to give an entry-level guide to a couple of bare-bones object walks so that new Git contributors can learn the concepts without having to wade through options parsing or special casing. The target audience is a Git contributor who is just getting started with the concept of object walking. The goal is to prepare this contributor to be able to understand and modify existing commands which perform revision walks more easily, although it will also prepare contributors to create new commands which perform walks. The tutorial covers a basic overview of the structs involved during object walk, setting up a basic commit walk, setting up a basic all-object walk, and adding some configuration changes to both walk types. It intentionally does not cover how to create new commands or search for options from the command line or gitconfigs. There is an associated patchset at https://github.com/nasamuffin/git/tree/revwalk that contains a reference implementation of the code generated by this tutorial.
