2019-11-18diff: move doc to diff.h and diffcore.hLibravatar Heba Waly1-174/+0
Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-diff.txt to both diff.h and diffcore.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-diff.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 files. There are three members documented in the doc file that weren't found in the header files, assuming the doc wasn't up to date and the members no longer exist: touched_flags, COLOR_DIFF_WORDS and QUIET.

2018-09-21diff.c: remove implicit dependency on the_indexLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
A new variant repo_diff_setup() is added that takes 'struct repository *' and diff_setup() becomes a thin macro around it that is protected by NO_THE_REPOSITORY_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS, similar to NO_THE_INDEX_.... The plan is these macros will always be defined for all library files and the macros are only accessible in builtin/ Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-05-10diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitlyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+9
The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command line options. It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set as a default or on explicit request. Update the structure so that this detection is possible: * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR. * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the touched_flags field; * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(), allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of which bits the user touched; * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

2007-12-14Start preparing the API documents.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+166
Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are there. I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as needed.
