2018-08-13attr: remove index from git_attr_set_direction()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-12/+3
Since attr checking API now take the index, there's no need to set an index in advance with this call. Most call sites are straightforward because they either pass the_index or NULL (which defaults back to the_index previously). There's only one suspicious call site in unpack-trees.c where it sets a different index. This code in unpack-trees is about to check out entries from the new/temporary index after merging is done in it. The attributes will be used by entry.c code to do crlf conversion if needed. entry.c now respects struct checkout's istate field, and this field is correctly set in unpack-trees.c, there should be no regression from this change.

2018-08-13attr: remove an implicit dependency on the_indexLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-19/+38
Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive further updates to use the right index instead of the_index. There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some more explanation. Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index. The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that: while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we delete use_index. So this has to be done later. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-06Replace all die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() onesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-5/+5
In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55 (setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12). The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch (cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs. Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop. This trick was performed by this invocation: sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-09-07hashmap: add API to disable item counting when threadedLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-6/+9
This is to address concerns raised by ThreadSanitizer on the mailing list about threaded unprotected R/W access to map.size with my previous "disallow rehash" change (0607e10009ee4e37cb49b4cec8d28a9dda1656a4). See: https://public-inbox.org/git/adb37b70139fd1e2bac18bfd22c8b96683ae18eb.1502780344.git.martin.agren@gmail.com/ Add API to hashmap to disable item counting and thus automatic rehashing. Also include API to later re-enable them. When item counting is disabled, the map.size field is invalid. So to prevent accidents, the field has been renamed and an accessor function hashmap_get_size() has been added. All direct references to this field have been been updated. And the name of the field changed to map.private_size to communicate this. Here is the relevant output from ThreadSanitizer showing the problem: WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: data race (pid=10554) Read of size 4 at 0x00000082d488 by thread T2 (mutexes: write M16): #0 hashmap_add hashmap.c:209 #1 hash_dir_entry_with_parent_and_prefix name-hash.c:302 #2 handle_range_dir name-hash.c:347 #3 handle_range_1 name-hash.c:415 #4 lazy_dir_thread_proc name-hash.c:471 #5 <null> <null> Previous write of size 4 at 0x00000082d488 by thread T1 (mutexes: write M31): #0 hashmap_add hashmap.c:209 #1 hash_dir_entry_with_parent_and_prefix name-hash.c:302 #2 handle_range_dir name-hash.c:347 #3 handle_range_1 name-hash.c:415 #4 handle_range_dir name-hash.c:380 #5 handle_range_1 name-hash.c:415 #6 lazy_dir_thread_proc name-hash.c:471 #7 <null> <null> Martin gives instructions for running TSan on test t3008 in this post: https://public-inbox.org/git/CAN0heSoJDL9pWELD6ciLTmWf-a=oyxe4EXXOmCKvsG5MSuzxsA@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-06-30hashmap.h: compare function has access to a data fieldLibravatar Stefan Beller1-3/+4
When using the hashmap a common need is to have access to caller provided data in the compare function. A couple of times we abuse the keydata field to pass in the data needed. This happens for example in patch-ids.c. This patch changes the function signature of the compare function to have one more void pointer available. The pointer given for each invocation of the compare function must be defined in the init function of the hashmap and is just passed through. Documentation of this new feature is deferred to a later patch. This is a rather mechanical conversion, just adding the new pass-through parameter. However while at it improve the naming of the fields of all compare functions used by hashmaps by ensuring unused parameters are prefixed with 'unused_' and naming the parameters what they are (instead of 'unused' make it 'unused_keydata').

2017-02-01attr: store attribute stack in attr_check structureLibravatar Brandon Williams1-88/+196
The last big hurdle towards a thread-safe API for the attribute system is the reliance on a global attribute stack that is modified during each call into the attribute system. This patch removes this global stack and instead a stack is stored locally in each attr_check instance. This opens up the opportunity for future optimizations to customize the attribute stack for the attributes that a particular attr_check struct is interested in. One caveat with pushing the attribute stack into the attr_check structure is that the attribute system now needs to keep track of all active attr_check instances. Due to the direction mechanism the stack needs to be dropped when the direction is switched. In order to ensure correctness when the direction is changed the attribute system needs to iterate through all active attr_check instances and drop each of their stacks.

2017-02-01attr: remove maybe-real, maybe-macro from git_attrLibravatar Brandon Williams1-38/+37
Whether or not a git attribute is real or a macro isn't a property of the attribute but rather it depends on the attribute stack (which .gitattribute files were read). This patch removes the 'maybe_real' and 'maybe_macro' fields in a git_attr and instead adds the 'macro' field to a attr_check_item. The 'macro' indicates (if non-NULL) that a particular attribute is a macro for the given attribute stack. It's populated, through a quick scan of the attribute stack, with the match_attr that corresponds to the macro's definition. This way the attribute stack only needs to be scanned a single time prior to attribute collection instead of each time a macro needs to be expanded.

2017-02-01attr: eliminate global check_all_attr arrayLibravatar Brandon Williams1-39/+82
Currently there is a reliance on 'check_all_attr' which is a global array of 'attr_check_item' items which is used to store the value of each attribute during the collection process.

This updates the other two ways the attribute check is done via an array of "struct attr_check_item" elements. These two niches appear only in "git check-attr". * The caller does not know offhand what attributes it wants to ask about and cannot use attr_check_initl() to prepare the attr_check structure. * The caller may not know what attributes it wants to ask at all, and instead wants to learn everything that the given path has.

2017-02-01attr: (re)introduce git_check_attr() and struct attr_checkLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+74
A common pattern to check N attributes for many paths is to (1) prepare an array A of N attr_check_item items; (2) call git_attr() to intern the N attribute names and fill A; (3) repeatedly call git_check_attrs() for path with N and A; A look-up for these N attributes for a single path P scans the entire attr_stack, starting from the .git/info/attributes file and then .gitattributes file in the directory the path P is in, going upwards to find .gitattributes file found in parent directories. An earlier commit 06a604e6 (attr: avoid heavy work when we know the specified attr is not defined, 2014-12-28) tried to optimize out this scanning for one trivial special case: when the attribute being sought is known not to exist, we do not have to scan for it. While this may be a cheap and effective heuristic, it would not work well when N is (much) more than 1. What we would want is a more customized way to skip irrelevant entries in the attribute stack, and the definition of irrelevance is tied to the set of attributes passed to git_check_attrs() call, i.e. the set of attributes being sought. The data necessary for this optimization needs to live alongside the set of attributes, but a simple array of git_attr_check_elem simply does not have any place for that. Introduce "struct attr_check" that contains N, the number of attributes being sought, and A, the array that holds N attr_check_item items, and a function git_check_attr() that takes a path P and this structure as its parameters. This structure can later be extended to hold extra data necessary for optimization. Also, to make it easier to write the first two steps in common cases, introduce git_attr_check_initl() helper function, which takes a NULL-terminated list of attribute names and initialize this structure.

In such a case they end up looking for ".git/info/attributes", etc. This is generally harmless, as such a file is unlikely to exist outside of a repository, but it's still conceptually the wrong thing to do.

2015-08-10memoize common git-path "constant" filesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two drawbacks: 1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc. 2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it correctly at least once), but many of these constant strings appear throughout the code. This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize" these strings, which are essentially globals for the lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few common ones for global use. Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of the stored values), it will be much easier to have the complete list. Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual declarations. We could do something clever with the macros (e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't that many, and it's probably better to stay away from too-magical macros. Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of generating these with a script, we could get much fancier. E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz". But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the function's definition.

Since only the xdg attributes file path is required, simplify the code by using xdg_config_home() instead of home_config_paths(). Signed-off-by: Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
