2009-02-10Fix the installation path for html documentationLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+1
026fa0d (Move computation of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime in preparation for RUNTIME_PREFIX, 2009-01-18) broke the installation of html documentation. A relative htmldir is given to Documentation/Makefile and html documentations are installed in a subdirectory of "Documentation" in the source tree. Fix this by not exporting htmldir from Makefile; this allows Documentation/Makefile to compute the htmldir from the prefix.

2009-02-05Makefile: fix misdetection of relative pathnamesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
The installation rules wanted to differentiate between a template_dir that is given as an absolute path (e.g. /usr/share/git-core/templates) and a relative one (e.g. share/git-core/templates) but it was done by checking if $(abspath $(template_dir)) and $(template_dir) yield the same string. This was wrong in at least two ways. * The user can give template_dir with a trailing slash from the command line to invoke make or from the included config.mak. A directory path ought to mean the same thing with or without such a trailing slash but use of $(abspath) means an absolute path with a trailing slash fails the test. * Versions of GNU make older than 3.81 do not have $(abspath) to begin with. This changes the detection logic to see if the given path begins with a slash. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-01-26Compute prefix at runtime if RUNTIME_PREFIX is setLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+3
This commit adds support for relocatable binaries (called RUNTIME_PREFIX). Such binaries can be moved together with the system configuration files to a different directory, as long as the relative paths from the binary to the configuration files is preserved. This functionality is essential on Windows where we deliver git binaries with an installer that allows to freely choose the installation location. If RUNTIME_PREFIX is unset we use the static prefix. This will be the default on Unix. Thus, the behavior on Unix will remain identical to the old implementation, which used to add the prefix in the Makefile. If RUNTIME_PREFIX is set the prefix is computed from the location of the executable. In this case, system_path() tries to strip known directories that executables can be located in from the path of the executable. If the path is successfully stripped it is used as the prefix. For example, if the executable is "/msysgit/bin/git" and BINDIR is "bin", then the prefix computed is "/msysgit". If the runtime prefix computation fails, we fall back to the static prefix specified in the makefile. This can be the case if the executable is not installed at a known location. Note that our test system sets GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM to tell git to ignore global configuration files during testing. Hence testing does not trigger the fall back. Note that RUNTIME_PREFIX only works on Windows, though adding support on Unix should not be too hard. The implementation requires argv0_path to be set to an absolute path. argv0_path must point to the directory of the executable. We use assert() to verify this in debug builds. On Windows, the wrapper for main() (see compat/mingw.h) guarantees that argv0_path is correctly initialized. On Unix, further work is required before RUNTIME_PREFIX can be enabled.

2009-01-26Move computation of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime (in preparation ↵Libravatar Steffen Prohaska1-16/+26
for RUNTIME_PREFIX) This commit prepares the Makefile for relocatable binaries (called RUNTIME_PREFIX). Such binaries will be able to be moved together with the system configuration files to a different directory, requiring to compute the prefix at runtime. In a first step, we make all paths relative in the Makefile and teach system_path() to add the prefix instead. We used to compute absolute paths in the Makefile and passed them to C as defines. We now pass relative paths to C and call system_path() to add the prefix at runtime.

2009-01-21chain kill signals for cleanup functionsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting (e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual strategy was to install a signal handler that did something like this: do_cleanup(); /* actual work */ signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */ raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */ For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem. The most recently installed handler will run, but when it removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first handler. This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler, and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in the stack.

2009-01-19Makefile: use shell for-loop rather than Make's foreach loop during installLibravatar Brandon Casey1-4/+6
The install target uses a foreach loop to generate a single long shell command line to handle installation of the built-in git commands. The maximum length of the argument list varies by platform, and this use of foreach quickly grows the length of the argument list. Current git can exceed the default maximum argument list length on IRIX 6.5 of 20480 depending on the installation path. Rather than using make's foreach loop to pre-generate the shell command line, use a shell for-loop and allow the shell to iterate through each of the built-in commands.

2009-01-17Add ctype testLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+11
Manipulating the character class table in ctype.c by hand is error prone. To ensure that typos are found quickly, add a test program and script. test-ctype checks the output of the character class macros isspace() et. al. by applying them on all possible char values and consulting a list of all characters in the particular class. It doesn't check tolower() and toupper(); this could be added later. The test script t0070-fundamental.sh is created because there is no good place for the ctype test, yet -- except for t0000-basic.sh perhaps, but it doesn't run well on Windows, yet.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF. The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1). The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes, maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

Instead, it has been promised that by prepending the output from $(git --exec-path) to your $PATH, you can keep using the dashed form of commands.

2008-10-18diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing codeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
Both sets of code assume that one specifies a diff profile as a gitattribute via the "diff=foo" attribute. They then pull information about that profile from the config as diff.foo.*. The code for each is currently completely separate from the other, which has several disadvantages: - there is duplication as we maintain code to create and search the separate lists of external drivers and funcname patterns - it is difficult to add new profile options, since it is unclear where they should go - the code is difficult to follow, as we rely on the "check if this file is binary" code to find the funcname pattern as a side effect. This is the first step in refactoring the binary-checking code. This patch factors out these diff profiles into "userdiff" drivers. A file with "diff=foo" uses the "foo" driver, which is specified by a single struct. Note that one major difference between the two pieces of code is that the funcname patterns are always loaded, whereas external drivers are loaded only for the "git diff" porcelain; the new code takes care to retain that situation.

2008-10-03Makefile: do not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 8Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+0
This breaks my build on Solaris 8, as there is no separate libiconv. The history of this line is somewhat convoluted. In 2fd955c (in November 2005), NEEDS_LIBICONV was turned on for all Solaris builds, claiming to "fix an error in Solaris 10 by setting NEEDS_LIBICONV". Later, e15f545 (in February of 2006) claimed that "Solaris 9+ don't need iconv", and moved NEEDS_LIBICONV into a section for Solaris 8. Furthermore, Brandon Casey claims in <5A1KxlhmUIHe8iXPxnXYuNXsq0Yjlbwkz2eBin3z7ELuL9nK-4tSpw@cipher.nrlssc.navy.mil> that he does not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 7. So either one of those commits is totally wrong, or there is some other magic going on where some Solaris installs need it and others don't. Given Brandon's statement and my problems on Solaris 8 with NEEDS_LIBICONV, I am inclined to think the first commit was bogus, and that NEEDS_LIBICONV shouldn't be set for Solaris at all by default. If somebody wants to use iconv and has installed it manually, they can set it in their config.mak. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2008-09-30cygwin: Use native Win32 API for statLibravatar Dmitry Potapov1-0/+4
lstat/stat functions in Cygwin are very slow, because they try to emulate some *nix things that Git does not actually need. This patch adds Win32 specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin. This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary for two reasons: - Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths. - Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links. The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name does not exist. Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible, it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository together. Therefore, the core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks configuration option is provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.
