2013-07-19Add the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macroLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+1
The sentinel function attribute is not understood by versions of the gcc compiler prior to v4.0. At present, for earlier versions of gcc, the build issues 108 warnings related to the unknown attribute. In order to suppress the warnings, we conditionally define the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro to provide the sentinel attribute for gcc v4.0 and newer.

2013-07-09use "sentinel" function attribute for variadic listsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
This attribute can help gcc notice when callers forget to add a NULL sentinel to the end of the function. This is our first use of the sentinel attribute, but we shouldn't need to #ifdef for other compilers, as __attribute__ is already a no-op on non-gcc-compatible compilers.

2012-10-07Add argv_array_detach and argv_array_free_detachedLibravatar Florian Achleitner1-0/+2
Allow detaching of ownership of the argv_array's contents and add a function to free those detached argv_arrays later. This makes it possible to use argv_array efficiently with the exiting struct child_process which only contains a member char **argv. Add to documentation.

2012-09-02argv-array: add pop functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by manually manipulating the array's internal members. Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove elements from the end. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-04-18argv-array: add a new "pushl" methodLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
It can be convenient to push many strings in a single line (e.g., if you are initializing an array with defaults). This patch provides a convenience wrapper to allow this. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-04-18argv-array: refactor empty_argv initializationLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
An empty argv-array is initialized to point to a static empty NULL-terminated array. The original implementation separates the actual storage of the NULL-terminator from the pointer to the list. This makes the exposed type a "const char **", which nicely matches the type stored by the argv-array. However, this indirection means that one cannot use empty_argv to initialize a static variable, since it is not a constant. Instead, we can expose empty_argv directly, as an array of pointers. The only place we use it is in the ARGV_ARRAY_INIT initializer, and it decays to a pointer appropriately there.

2011-09-14refactor argv_array into generic codeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+20
The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a dynamic argv array. Many other parts of the code can reuse this, too, so let's make it generically available. There are two enhancements not found in the original code: 1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly, even when no strings have been pushed (before, you could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem for the submodule code, which always pushed at least one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for generic code. 2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function. This is a convenience function which was not needed by the submodule code, but will make it easier to port other users to the new code.
