* tb/config-default:
builtin/config: work around an unsized array forward declaration
|
|
As reported here[0], Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.2 and "gcc -pedantic"
don't understand the forward declaration of an unsized static array.
They insist on an array size:
d:\git\src\builtin\config.c(70,46): error C2133: 'builtin_config_options': unknown size
The thread [1] explains that this is due to the single-pass nature of
old compilers.
To work around this error, introduce the forward-declared function
usage_builtin_config() instead that uses the array
builtin_config_options only after it has been defined.
Also use this function in all other places where usage_with_options() is
called with the same arguments.

Error codepath fix.
* jk/config-blob-sans-repo:
config: die when --blob is used outside a repository
|
|
Developer support update, by using BUG() macro instead of die() to
mark codepaths that should not happen more clearly.
* js/use-bug-macro:
BUG_exit_code: fix sparse "symbol not declared" warning
Convert remaining die*(BUG) messages
Replace all die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() ones
run-command: use BUG() to report bugs, not die()
test-tool: help verifying BUG() code paths
|
|
If you run "config --blob" outside of a repository, then we
eventually try to resolve the blob name and hit a BUG().
Let's catch this earlier and provide a useful message.
Note that we could also catch this much lower in the stack,
in git_config_from_blob_ref(). That might cover other
callsites, too, but it's unclear whether those ones would
actually be bugs or not. So let's leave the low-level
functions to assume the caller knows what it's doing (and
BUG() if it turns out it doesn't).

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)

As of this commit, the canonical way to retreive an ANSI-compatible
color escape sequence from a configuration file is with the
`--get-color` action.
This is to allow Git to "fall back" on a default value for the color
should the given section not exist in the specified configuration(s).
With the addition of `--default`, this is no longer needed since:
$ git config --default red --type=color core.section
will be have exactly as:
$ git config --get-color core.section red
For consistency, let's introduce `--type=color` and encourage its use
with `--default` together over `--get-color` alone.

For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to
fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist.
In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure
that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the
configuration.
For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to
`$fallback`, the following is required:
$ git config core.foo || echo "$fallback"
This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express
`$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes.
This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal
type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration
variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their
type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values
are correctly formatted.
This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually
replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing
`--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a
`--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the
`--default` flag introduced in this commit.
For example, we aim to replace:
$ git config --get-color variable [default] [...]
with:
$ git config --default default --type=color variable [...]
Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in
the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers
without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the
configuration.
Specifically, this means that the following will work:
$ git config --int --default 1M does.not.exist
1048576
In subsequent commits, we will offer `--type=color`, which (in
conjunction with `--default`) will be sufficient to replace
`--get-color`.

`git config` has long allowed the ability for callers to provide a 'type
specifier', which instructs `git config` to (1) ensure that incoming
values can be interpreted as that type, and (2) that outgoing values are
canonicalized under that type.
In another series, we propose to extend this functionality with
`--type=color` and `--default` to replace `--get-color`.
However, we traditionally use `--color` to mean "colorize this output",
instead of "this value should be treated as a color".
Currently, `git config` does not support this kind of colorization, but
we should be careful to avoid squatting on this option too soon, so that
`git config` can support `--color` (in the traditional sense) in the
future, if that is desired.
In this patch, we support `--type=<int|bool|bool-or-int|...>` in
addition to `--int`, `--bool`, and etc. This allows the aforementioned
upcoming patch to support querying a color value with a default via
`--type=color --default=...`, without squandering `--color`.
We retain the historic behavior of complaining when multiple,
legacy-style `--<type>` flags are given, as well as extend this to
conflicting new-style `--type=<type>` flags. `--int --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does not complain, but `--bool --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does.

Internally, we represent `git config`'s type specifiers as a bitset
using OPT_BIT. 'bool' is 1<<0, 'int' is 1<<1, and so on. This technique
allows for the representation of multiple type specifiers in the `int
types` field, but this multi-representation is left unused.
In fact, `git config` will not accept multiple type specifiers at a
time, as indicated by:
$ git config --int --bool some.section
error: only one type at a time.
This patch uses `OPT_SET_INT` to prefer the _last_ mentioned type
specifier, so that the above command would instead be valid, and a
synonym of:
$ git config --bool some.section
This change is motivated by two urges: (1) it does not make sense to
represent a singular type specifier internally as a bitset, only to
complain when there are multiple bits in the set. `OPT_SET_INT` is more
well-suited to this task than `OPT_BIT` is. (2) a future patch will
introduce `--type=<type>`, and we would like not to complain in the
following situation:
$ git config --int --type=int

This is similar to ff1e72483 (tag: change default of `pager.tag` to
"on", 2017-08-02) and is safe now that we do not consider `pager.config`
at all when we are not listing or getting configuration. This change
will help with listing large configurations, but will not hurt users of
`git config --edit` as it would have before the previous commit.

Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config.
We have several getters and some are guaranteed to give at most one line
of output. Paging all getters including those could be convenient from a
documentation point-of-view. The downside would be that a misconfigured
or not so modern pager might wait for user interaction before
terminating. Let's instead respect the config for precisely those
getters which may produce more than one line of output.
`--get-urlmatch` may or may not produce multiple lines of output,
depending on the exact usage. Let's not try to recognize the two modes,
but instead make `--get-urlmatch` always respect the config. Analyzing
the detailed usage might be trivial enough here, but could establish a
precedent that we will never be able to enforce throughout the codebase
and that will just open a can of worms.
This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the
test for whether `git config foo.bar bar` and `git config --get foo.bar`
respects `pager.config`.

Add --expiry-date as a data-type for config files when
'git config --get' is used. This will return any relative
or fixed dates from config files as timestamps.
This is useful for scripts (e.g. gc.reflogexpire) that work
with timestamps so that '2.weeks' can be converted to a format
acceptable by those scripts/functions.
Following the convention of git_config_pathname(), move
the helper function required for this feature from
builtin/reflog.c to builtin/config.c where other similar
functions exist (e.g. for --bool or --path), and match
the order of parameters with other functions (i.e. output
pointer as first parameter).

It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some
memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and
then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it
away.
This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste
time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the
program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak
checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory
was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know
_when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was
early in the program, then it's probably a real and
important leak. But if it was used right up until program
exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress
it so that we can see the real leaks.
This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so.
To understand its design, let's first look at some of the
alternatives.
Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by
leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A
leak-checker basically knows two things:
1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the
callstack during the allocation.
2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the
program (and which are unreachable, but more on that
later).
Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or
callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK
to leak. So imagine you have code like this:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
/* this allocates some memory */
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
return 0;
}
You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(),
they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may
be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to
know about those leaks.
So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls
some_function". That works, but your annotations are
brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can
imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of
the intermediate code changes, you have to update the
suppression.
What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to
p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But
leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about
"p" in the first place.
However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make
some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They
generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would
report even globals which are still accessible when the
leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory
(like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they
scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a
pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block
reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on,
transitively marking anything reachable from a global as
"not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category).
So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it
into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is
to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the
run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you
aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*()
functions are called from other commands).
Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value
into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global
linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That
list is reachable even at program exit, which confers
recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak.
In other words, you can do:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
UNLEAK(p);
return 0;
}
to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report.
But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy
example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has
several advantages over actually freeing the memory:
1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p"
is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose
fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And
in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a
function which knows how to free all of the struct
members.
By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers
reachability on any pointers it contains (including those
found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking
heap blocks recursively.
2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is
allocated or not. For example:
char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function();
It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not
freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to
argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore
our bytes.
3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_
been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If
the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip
over those bytes as uninteresting.
4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can
UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable.
This is helpful in cases like this:
char *p = some_function();
return another_function(p);
Writing this with free() requires:
int ret;
char *p = some_function();
ret = another_function(p);
free(p);
return ret;
But with unleak we can just write:
char *p = some_function();
UNLEAK(p);
return another_function(p);
This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it
automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In
normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost.
It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the
feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are
enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with
LSAN.
Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a
strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already
non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since
we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that
non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is
minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a
crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it
here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would
have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them
both into strbuf_release() calls).

We generate filenames for the user_config ("~/.gitconfig")
and the xdg config ("$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config") and then

'git_config_with_options()' takes a 'config_options' struct which
contains feilds for 'git_dir' and 'commondir'. If those feilds happen
to be NULL the config machinery falls back to querying global repository
state. Let's change this and instead use these fields in the
'config_options' struct explicilty all the time. Since the API is
slightly changing to require these two fields to be set if callers want
the config machinery to load the repository's config, let's change the
name to 'config_with_optison()'. This allows the config machinery to
not implicitly rely on any global repository state.

The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify
the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if
you're not actually in a repository.
Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write
".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet
failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no
matching config value). Writing would generally fail
noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since
b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git",
2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and
die with an assertion.
Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the
problem early and give a more human-friendly error message.
Note that even without --local, git-config will sometimes
default to using local repository config (e.g., when
writing). These cases are already protected by similar
checks, and covered by a test in t1308.

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).
Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).
The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.
I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).
In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

Repeating the definition of a static variable seems to be valid in C.
Nevertheless, it is bad style because it can cause confusion, definitely
when it becomes necessary to change the type.
d64ec16 (git config: reorganize to use parseopt, 2009-02-21) added two
static variables near the top of the file config.c without removing the
definitions of the two variables that occurs later in the file.
The two variables were needed earlier in the file in the newly
introduced parseopt structure. These references were removed later in
d0e08d6 (config: fix parsing of "git config --get-color some.key -1",
2014-11-20).
Remove the redundant, younger, definitions near the top of the file and
keep the original definitions that occur later.

Since 9830534 (config --global --edit: create a template
file if needed, 2014-07-25), an edit of the global config
file will try to open() it with O_EXCL, and wants to handle
three cases:
1. We succeeded; the user has no config file, and we
should fill in the default template.
2. We got EEXIST; they have a file already, proceed as usual.
3. We got another error; we should complain.
However, the check for case 1 does "if (fd)", which will
generally _always_ be true (except for the oddball case that
somehow our stdin got closed and opening really did give us
a new descriptor 0).
So in the EEXIST case, we tried to write the default config
anyway! Fortunately, this turns out to be a noop, since we
just end up writing to and closing "-1", which does nothing.
But in case 3, we would fail to notice any other errors, and
just silently continue (given that we don't actually notice
write errors for the template either, it's probably not that
big a deal; we're about to spawn the editor, so it would
notice any problems. But the code is clearly _trying_ to hit
cover this case and failing).
We can fix it easily by using "fd >= 0" for case 1.

because it accepts a default value to return and so should not return an
error if the key is not found.
Also clarify this behaviour in the documentation.

It is a pilot error to call `git config section.key value` outside of
any Git worktree. The message
error: could not lock config file .git/config: No such file or
directory
is not very helpful in that situation, though. Let's print a helpful
message instead.

The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die
whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of
internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the
right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into
inconsistent repositories without noticing.
As some code may rely on the actual return values for
`git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these
functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set`
functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for
those callers.

If config values are queried using 'git config' (e.g. via --get,
--get-all, --get-regexp, or --list flag) then it is sometimes hard to
find the configuration file where the values were defined.
Teach 'git config' the '--show-origin' option to print the source
configuration file for every printed value.

We xmalloc a fixed-size buffer and sprintf into it; this is
OK because the size of our formatting types is finite, but
that's not immediately clear to a reader auditing sprintf
calls. Let's switch to xstrfmt, which is shorter and
obviously correct.
Note that just dropping the common xmalloc here causes gcc
to complain with -Wmaybe-uninitialized. That's because if
"types" does not match any of our known types, we never
write anything into the "normalized" pointer. With the
current code, gcc doesn't notice because we always return a
valid pointer (just one which might point to uninitialized
data, but the compiler doesn't know that). In other words,
the current code is potentially buggy if new types are added
without updating this spot.
So let's take this opportunity to clean up the function a
bit more. We can drop the "normalized" pointer entirely, and
just return directly from each code path. And then add an
assertion at the end in case we haven't covered any cases.

We create a strbuf only to insert a single string, pass the
resulting buffer to a function (which does not modify the
string), and then free it. We can just pass the original
string instead.

When formatting a config value into a strbuf, we may end
up stringifying it into a fixed-size buffer using sprintf,
and then copying that buffer into the strbuf. We can
eliminate the middle-man (and drop some calls to sprintf!)
by writing directly to the strbuf.
The reason it was written this way in the first place is
that we need to know before writing the value whether to
insert a delimiter. Instead of delaying the write of the
value, we speculatively write the delimiter, and roll it
back in the single case that cares.

It's unusual for a function which writes to a passed-in
strbuf to call strbuf_init; that will throw away anything
already there, leaking memory. In this case, there are
exactly two callers; one relies on this initialization and
the other passes in an already-initialized buffer.
There's no leak, as the initialized buffer doesn't have
anything in it. But let's bump the strbuf_init out to the
one caller who needs it, making format_config more
idiomatic.

Commit 578625fa91 (config: add '--name-only' option to list only
variable names, 2015-08-10) modified format_config() such that it
returned from the middle of the function when showing only keys,
resulting in ugly code structure.
Reorganize the if statements and dealing with the key-value delimiter to
make the function easier to read.

'git config' can only show values or name-value pairs, so if a shell
script needs the names of set config variables it has to run 'git config
--list' or '--get-regexp' and parse the output to separate config
variable names from their values. However, such a parsing can't cope
with multi-line values. Though 'git config' can produce null-terminated
output for newline-safe parsing, that's of no use in such a case, becase
shells can't cope with null characters.
Even our own bash completion script suffers from these issues.
Help the completion script, and shell scripts in general, by introducing
the '--name-only' option to modify the output of '--list' and
'--get-regexp' to list only the names of config variables, so they don't
have to perform error-prone post processing to separate variable names
from their values anymore.
