2016-10-26read info/{attributes,exclude} only when in repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
The low-level attribute and gitignore code will try to look in $GIT_DIR/info for any repo-level configuration files, even if we have not actually determined that we are in a repository (e.g., running "git grep --no-index"). 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. Let's detect this situation explicitly and skip reading the file (i.e., the same behavior we'd get if we were in a repository and the file did not exist).

2016-03-01dir: store EXC_FLAG_* values in unsigned integersLibravatar Saurav Sachidanand1-1/+1
The values defined by the macro EXC_FLAG_* (1, 4, 8, 16) are stored in fields of the structs "pattern" and "exclude", some functions arguments and a local variable. None of these uses its most significant bit in any special way and there is no good reason to use a signed integer for them. And while we're at it, document "flags" of "exclude" to explicitly state the values it's supposed to take on.

2016-02-22convert trivial cases to FLEX_ARRAY macrosLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+1

2016-02-22convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAYLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages: 1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication for overflow. 2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size, so that it can never go out of sync with the declared type of the array.

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.

2014-12-29attr: avoid heavy work when we know the specified attr is not definedLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+28
If we have never seen attr 'X' in any .gitattributes file we have examined so far, we can be sure that 'X' is not defined. So no need to go over all the attr stack to look for attr 'X'. This is the purpose behind this new field maybe_real. This optimization breaks down if macros are involved because we can't know for sure what macro would expand to 'X' at attr parsing time. But if we go the pessimistic way and assume all macros are expanded, we hit the builtin "binary" macro. At least the "diff" attr defined in this macro will disable this optimization for git-grep. So we wait until any attr lines _may_ reference to a macro before we turn this off. In git.git, this reduces the number of fill_one() call for "git grep abcdefghi" from ~5348 to 2955. The optimization stops when it reads t/.gitattributes, which uses 'binary' macro. We could probably reduce it further by limiting the 'binary' reference to t/ and subdirs only in this case. "git grep" is actually a good example to justify this patch. The command checks "diff" attribute on every file. People usually don't define this attribute. But they pay the attr lookup penalty anyway without this patch, proportional to the number of attr lines they have in repo.

Keep track of all recognized macros in the new "maybe_macro" field. If this field is true, it _may_ be a macro (depending on what's in the current attr stack). But if the field is false, it's definitely not a macro, no need to go through the whole attr stack in macroexpand_one() to search for one. Without this, "git grep abcdefghi" on git.git hits the inner loop in macroexpand_one() 2481 times. With this, it's 66 times.

2013-03-28attr.c::path_matches(): special case paths that end with a slashLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4
The function is given a string that ends with a slash to signal that the path is a directory to make sure that a pattern that ends with a slash (i.e. MUSTBEDIR) can tell directories and non-directories apart. However, the pattern itself (pat->pattern and pat->patternlen) that came from such a MUSTBEDIR pattern is represented as a string that ends with a slash, but patternlen does not count that trailing slash. A MUSTBEDIR pattern "element/" is represented as a counted string <"element/", 7> and this must match match pathname "element/". Because match_basename() and match_pathname() want to see pathname "element" to match against the pattern <"element/", 7>, reduce the length of the path to exclude the trailing slash when calling these functions.

2013-03-01Make !pattern in .gitattributes non-fatalLibravatar Thomas Rast1-3/+5
Before 82dce99 (attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore, 2012-10-15), .gitattributes did not have any special treatment of a leading '!'. The docs, however, always said The rules how the pattern matches paths are the same as in `.gitignore` files; see linkgit:gitignore[5]. By those rules, leading '!' means pattern negation. So 82dce99 correctly determined that this kind of line makes no sense and should be disallowed. However, users who actually had a rule for files starting with a '!' are in a bad position: before 82dce99 '!' matched that literal character, so it is conceivable that users have .gitattributes with such lines in them. After 82dce99 the unescaped version was disallowed in such a way that git outright refuses to run(!) most commands in the presence of such a .gitattributes. It therefore becomes very hard to fix, let alone work with, such repositories. Let's at least allow the users to fix their repos: change the fatal error into a warning.

2013-01-15attr: fix off-by-one directory component length calculationLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+7
94bc671 (Add directory pattern matching to attributes - 2012-12-08) uses find_basename() to calculate the length of directory part in prepare_attr_stack. This function expects the directory without the trailing slash (as "origin" field in match_attr struct is without the trailing slash). find_basename() includes the trailing slash and confuses push/pop algorithm. Consider path = "abc/def" and the push down code: while (1) { len = strlen(attr_stack->origin); if (dirlen <= len) break; cp = memchr(path + len + 1, '/', dirlen - len - 1); if (!cp) cp = path + dirlen; dirlen is 4, not 3, without this patch. So when attr_stack->origin is "abc", it'll miss the exit condition because 4 <= 3 is wrong. It'll then try to push "abc/" down the attr stack (because "cp" would be NULL). So we have both "abc" and "abc/" in the stack. Next time when "abc/ghi" is checked, "abc/" is popped out because of the off-by-one dirlen, only to be pushed back in again by the above code. This repeats for all files in the same directory. Which means at least one failed open syscall per file, or more if .gitattributes exists.

Often we consult an in-tree .gitattributes file that exists per directory. Majority of directories do not usually have such a file, and it is perfectly fine if we cannot open it because there is no such file, but we do want to know when there is an I/O or permission error. Earlier, we made the codepath warn when we fail to open it for reasons other than ENOENT for that reason. We however sometimes have to attempt to open the .gitattributes file from a directory that does not exist in the commit that is currently checked out. "git pack-objects" wants to know if a path is marked with "-delta" attributes, and "git archive" wants to know about export-ignore and export-subst attributes. Both commands may and do need to ask the attributes system about paths in an arbitrary commit. "git diff", after removing an entire directory, may want to know textconv on paths that used to be in that directory.

If we don't have a core.attributesfile configured, we fall back to checking XDG config, which is usually $HOME/.config/git/attributes. However, if $HOME is unset, then home_config_paths will return NULL, and we end up calling fopen(NULL). Depending on your system, this may or may not cause the accompanying test to fail (e.g., on Linux and glibc, the address will go straight to open, which will return EFAULT). However, valgrind will reliably notice the error. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-06-25Let core.attributesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributesLibravatar Huynh Khoi Nguyen Nguyen1-7/+10
This gives the default value for the core.attributesfile variable following the exact same logic of the previous change for the core.excludesfile setting.
