2012-09-08Add a no-op setitimer() wrapperLibravatar Joachim Schmitz1-0/+12
The current code uses setitimer() only for reducing perceived latency. On platforms that lack setitimer() (e.g. HP NonStop), allow builders to say "make NO_SETITIMER=YesPlease" to use a no-op substitute, as doing so would not affect correctness. HP NonStop does provide struct itimerval, but other platforms may not, so this is taken care of in this commit too, by setting NO_STRUCT_ITIMERVAL.

2012-08-08check-docs: get documented command list from MakefileLibravatar Jeff King1-24/+2
The current code tries to get a list of documented commands by doing "ls Documentation/git*txt" and culling a bunch of special cases from the result. Looking for "git-*.txt" would be more accurate, but would miss a few commands like "gitweb" and "gitk". Fortunately, Documentation/Makefile already knows what this list is, so we can just ask it. Annoyingly, we still have to post-process its output a little, since make will print extra cruft like "GIT-VERSION-FILE is up to date" to stdout. Now that our list is accurate, we can remove all of the ugly special-cases. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-08-08check-docs: drop git-help special-caseLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+0
The check-docs target special-cases git-help to avoid mentioning it as "documented but removed". This dates back to the early implementation of git-help, when its code was simply included inside git.c. These days it is a full-fledged builtin (in builtin/help.c) and does not need special-casing.

git-gui is already documented and mentioned in command-list, but adding it to the Makefile makes sure it is so. We also add its alias git-citool (which is also documented).

2012-07-23Makefile: BLK_SHA1 does not require fast htonl() and unaligned loadsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+2
block-sha1/ is fast on most known platforms. Clarify the Makefile to be less misleading about that. Early versions of block-sha1/ explicitly relied on fast htonl() and fast 32-bit loads with arbitrary alignment. Now it uses those on some arches but the default behavior is byte-at-a-time access for the sake of arches like ARM, Alpha, and their kin and it is still pretty fast on these arches (fast enough to supersede the mozilla SHA1 implementation and the hand-written ARM assembler implementation that were bundled before).

2012-07-19build: "make clean" should not remove configure-generated filesLibravatar Stefano Lattarini1-2/+3
Those filed hold variables, settings and information set by the configuration process run by './configure'; in Autotools-based build system that kind of stuff should only be removed by "make distclean". Having it removed by "make clean" is not only inconsistent, but causes real confusion for that part of the Git audience that is used to the Autotools semantics; for example, an autotools old-timer that has run: ./configure --prefix /opt/git in the past, without running "make distclean" afterwards, would expect a "make install" issued after a "make clean" to rebuild and install git in '/opt/git'; but with the current behaviour, the "make clean" invocation removes (among the other things) the file 'config.mak.autogen', so that the "make install" falls back to the default prefix of '$HOME', thus installing git in the user's home directory -- definitely unexpected.

2012-07-09Makefile: move GIT-VERSION-FILE dependencies closer to useLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+4
There is a list of all of the targets which depend on GIT-VERSION-FILE, but it can be quite far from the actual point where the targets actually use $(GIT_VERSION). This can make it hard to verify that each use of $(GIT_VERSION) has a matching dependency. This patch moves the dependency closer to the actual build instructions, which makes verification easier.

Most of the build targets do not care about the setting of $prefix (or its derivative variables), but will be rebuilt if the prefix changes.

2012-07-09Makefile: apply dependencies consistently to sparse/asm targetsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
When a C file "foo.c" depends on a generated header file, we note the dependency for the "foo.o" target. However, we should also note it for other targets that are built from foo.c, like "foo.sp" and "foo.s". These tend to be missed because the latter two are not part of the default build, and are typically built after a regular build which will generate the header. Let's be consistent about including them in dependencies. This also makes us more consistent with nearby lines which tack on EXTRA_CPPFLAGS when building certain files. These flags may sometimes require extra dependencies to be added (e.g., like GIT-VERSION-FILE; this is not the case for any of the updated lines in this patch, but it is establishing a style that will be used in later patches). Technically the ".sp" and ".s" targets do not care about these dependencies, because they are force-built (".sp" because it is a phony target, and ".s" because we explicitly force a rebuild). Since the blocks in question are about communicating "things built from foo.c depend on these flags", it frees the reader from having to know or care more about how those targets are implemented, and why it is OK for only "foo.o" to depend on GIT-VERSION-FILE while "foo.sp" and "foo.s" both are impacted by $(GIT_VERSION). And it helps future-proof us if those force-build details should ever change. This patch explicitly does not update the static header dependencies used when COMPUTED_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES is off. They are similar to the GIT-VERSION-FILE case above, in that technically "foo.s" would depend on its included headers, but it is irrelevant because we force-build it anyway. So it would be tempting to update them in the same way (for readability and future-proofing). However, those rules are meant as a fallback to the computed header dependencies, which do not handle ".s" and ".sp" at all (and are a much harder problem to solve, as gcc is the one generating those dependency lists). So let's leave that harder problem until (and if) somebody wants to change the ".sp" and ".s" rules, and keep the static header dependencies consistent with the computed ones.

2012-07-08git on Mac OS and precomposed unicodeLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+3
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+, VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if the file name is already decomposed unicode. Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä". As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT. The unicode decomposition causes many problems: - The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different. - Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for consistency in general). - The same for names stored in the index, which should be precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from readdir(). NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from the above. As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal, we can - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the precomposed form, to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting "core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true. The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(), precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions. The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git. When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone", "core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false". The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file systems mounted via SAMBA.

2012-06-20Makefile: fold MISC_H into LIB_HLibravatar Jeff King1-29/+16
We keep a list of most of the header files in LIB_H, but some are split out into MISC_H. The original point of LIB_H was that it would force recompilation of C files when any of the library headers changed. It was over-encompassing, since not all C files included all of the library headers; this made it simple to maintain, but meant that we sometimes recompiled when it was not necessary. Over time, some new headers were omitted from LIB_H, and rules were added to the Makefile for a few specific targets to explicitly depend on them. This avoided some unnecessary recompilation at the cost of having to maintain the dependency list of those targets manually (e.g., d349a03). Later, we needed a complete list of headers from which we should extract strings to localized. Thus 1b8b2e4 introduced MISC_H to mention all header files not included in LIB_H, and the concatenation of the two lists is fed to xgettext. Headers mentioned as dependencies must also be manually added to MISC_H to receive the benefits of localization. Having to update multiple locations manually is a pain and has led to errors. For example, see "git log -Swt-status.h Makefile" for some back-and-forth between the two locations. Or the fact that column.h was never added to MISC_H, and therefore was not localized (which is fixed by this patch). Moreover, the benefits of keeping these few headers out of LIB_H is not that great, for two reasons: 1. The better way to do this is by auto-computing the dependencies, which is more accurate and less work to maintain. If your compiler supports it, we turn on computed header dependencies by default these days. So these manual dependencies are used only for people who do not have gcc at all (which increases the chance of them becoming stale, as many developers will never even use them). 2. Even if you do not have gcc, the manual header dependencies do not help all that much. They obviously cannot help with an initial compilation (since their purpose is to avoid unnecessary recompilation when a header changes), which means they are only useful when building a new version of git in the working tree that held an existing build (e.g., after checkout or during a bisection). But since a change of a header in LIB_H will force recompilation, and given that the vast majority of headers are in LIB_H, most version changes will result in a full rebuild anyway. Let's just fold MISC_H into LIB_H and get rid of these manual rules. The worst case is some extra compilation, but even that is unlikely to matter due to the reasons above. The one exception is that we should keep common-cmds.h separate. Because it is generated, the computed dependencies do not handle it properly, and we must keep separate individual dependencies on it. Let's therefore rename MISC_H to GENERATED_H to make it more clear what should go in it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This was mostly sorted already, but put things like "cache-tree.h" after "cache.h", even though "-" comes before "." (at least in the C locale). This will make it easier to keep the list sorted later by piping it through "sort". Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-06-06help: use HTML as the default help format on WindowsLibravatar Vincent van Ravesteijn1-0/+9
When 'git help $cmd' is run without a format option (e.g. -w), the 'man' format is always used. On some platforms, however, manual page viewers are not often available. Introduce DEFAULT_HELP_FORMAT make variable in order to allow the default format configurable at compile time, and set it to HTML when compiling on Windows (but not Cygwin).
