2020-02-26describe: don't abort too early when searching tagsLibravatar Benno Evers1-4/+18
When searching the commit graph for tag candidates, `git-describe` will stop as soon as there is only one active branch left and it already found an annotated tag as a candidate. This works well as long as all branches eventually connect back to a common root, but if the tags are found across branches with no common ancestor B o----. \ o-----o---o----x A it can happen that the search on one branch terminates prematurely because a tag was found on another, independent branch. This scenario isn't quite as obscure as it sounds, since cloning with a limited depth often introduces many independent "dead ends" into the commit graph. The help text of `git-describe` states pretty clearly that when describing a commit D, the number appended to the emitted tag X should correspond to the number of commits found by `git log X..D`. Thus, this commit modifies the stopping condition to only abort the search when only one branch is left to search *and* all current best candidates are descendants from that branch. For repositories with a single root, this condition is always true: When the search is reduced to a single active branch, the current commit must be an ancestor of *all* tag candidates. This means that in the common case, this change will have no negative performance impact since the same number of commits as before will be traversed.

2019-10-07OFFSETOF_VAR macro to simplify hashmap iteratorsLibravatar Eric Wong1-1/+1
While we cannot rely on a `__typeof__' operator being portable to use with `offsetof'; we can calculate the pointer offset using an existing pointer and the address of a member using pointer arithmetic for compilers without `__typeof__'. This allows us to simplify usage of hashmap iterator macros by not having to specify a type when a pointer of that type is already given. In the future, list iterator macros (e.g. list_for_each_entry) may also be implemented using OFFSETOF_VAR to save hackers the trouble of using container_of/list_entry macros and without relying on non-portable `__typeof__'. v3: use `__typeof__' to avoid clang warnings Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Reviewed-by: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-06-20describe: fix accidental oid/hash type-punningLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The find_commit_name() function passes an object_id.hash as the key of a hashmap. That ends up in commit_name_neq(), which then feeds it to oideq(). Which means we should actually be the whole "struct object_id". It works anyway because pointers to the two are interchangeable. And because we're going through a layer of void pointers, the compiler doesn't notice the type mismatch. But it's worth cleaning up (especially since once we switch away from sha1hash() on the same line, accessing the hash member will look doubly out of place).

2019-02-04describe: setup working tree for --dirtyLibravatar Sebastian Staudt1-0/+1
We don't use NEED_WORK_TREE when running the git-describe builtin, since you should be able to describe a commit even in a bare repository. However, the --dirty flag does need a working tree. Since we don't call setup_work_tree(), it uses whatever directory we happen to be in. That's unlikely to match our index, meaning we'd say "dirty" even when the real working tree is clean. We can fix that by calling setup_work_tree() once we know that the user has asked for --dirty. The --broken option also needs a working tree. But because its implementation calls git-diff-index we don‘t have to setup the working tree in the git-describe process.

2018-08-29convert hashmap comparison functions to oideq()Libravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
The comparison functions used for hashmaps don't care about strict ordering; they only want to compare entries for equality. Let's use the oideq() function instead, which can potentially be better optimized. Note that unlike the previous patches mass-converting calls like "!oidcmp()", this patch could actually provide an improvement even with the current implementation. Those comparison functions are passed around as function pointers, so at compile-time the compiler cannot realize that the caller (which is in another file completely) will treat the return value as a boolean. Note that this does change the return values in quite a subtle way (it's still an int, but now the sign bit is irrelevant for ordering). Because of their funny hashmap-specific signature, it's unlikely that any of these static functions would be reused for more generic ordering. But to be double-sure, let's stop using "cmp" in their names. Calling them "eq" doesn't quite work either, because the hashmap convention is actually _inverted_. "0" means "same", and non-zero means "different". So I've called them "neq" by convention here. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-29convert "oidcmp() == 0" to oideq()Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run, give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete noop with respect to the generated code. The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances here). This patch was generated almost entirely by the included coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()" separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the two are treated equivalently. I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

2018-05-10lock_file: make function-local locks non-staticLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
Placing `struct lock_file`s on the stack used to be a bad idea, because the temp- and lockfile-machinery would keep a pointer into the struct. But after 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we can safely have lockfiles on the stack. (This applies even if a user returns early, leaving a locked lock behind.) These `struct lock_file`s are local to their respective functions and we can drop their staticness. For good measure, I have inspected these sites and come to believe that they always release the lock, with the possible exception of bailing out using `die()` or `exit()` or by returning from a `cmd_foo()`. As pointed out by Jeff King, it would be bad if someone held on to a `struct lock_file *` for some reason. After some grepping, I agree with his findings: no-one appears to be doing that.

2018-02-12describe: confirm that blobs actually existLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Prior to 644eb60bd0 (builtin/describe.c: describe a blob, 2017-11-15), we noticed and complained about missing objects, since they were not valid commits: $ git describe 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 fatal: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 is not a valid 'commit' object After that commit, we feed any non-commit to lookup_blob(), and complain only if it returns NULL. But the lookup_* functions do not actually look at the on-disk object database at all. They return an entry from the in-memory object hash if present (and if it matches the requested type), and otherwise auto-create a "struct object" of the requested type. A missing object would hit that latter case: we create a bogus blob struct, walk all of history looking for it, and then exit successfully having produced no output. One reason nobody may have noticed this is that some related cases do still work OK: 1. If we ask for a tree by sha1, then the call to lookup_commit_referecne_gently() would have parsed it, and we would have its true type in the in-memory object hash. 2. If we ask for a name that doesn't exist but isn't a 40-hex sha1, then get_oid() would complain before we even look at the objects at all. We can fix this by replacing the lookup_blob() call with a check of the true type via sha1_object_info(). This is not quite as efficient as we could possibly make this check. We know in most cases that the object was already parsed in the earlier commit lookup, so we could call lookup_object(), which does auto-create, and check the resulting struct's type (or NULL). However it's not worth the fragility nor code complexity to save a single object lookup. The new tests cover this case, as well as that of a tree-by-sha1 (which does work as described above, but was not explicitly tested).

2017-12-19builtin/describe.c: describe a blobLibravatar Stefan Beller1-5/+57
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs, but what are these? or [1]) When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely. When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For example git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20. The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a blob rather than its last occurrence.

2017-11-16builtin/describe.c: factor out describe_commitLibravatar Stefan Beller1-26/+37
Factor out describing commits into its own function `describe_commit`, which will put any output to stdout into a strbuf, to be printed afterwards. As the next patch will teach Git to describe blobs using a commit and path, this refactor will make it easy to reuse the code describing commits.

2017-11-16builtin/describe.c: print debug statements earlierLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+4
When debugging, print the received argument at the start of the function instead of in the middle. This ensures that the received argument is printed in all code paths, and also allows a subsequent refactoring to not need to move the "arg" parameter.

2017-11-16builtin/describe.c: rename `oid` to avoid variable shadowingLibravatar Stefan Beller1-4/+4
The function `describe` has already a variable named `oid` declared at the beginning of the function for an object id. Do not shadow that variable with a pointer to an object id. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Convert peel_ref (and its corresponding backend) to struct object_id. This transformation was done with an update to the declaration, definition, comments, and test helper and the following semantic patch: @@ expression E1, E2; @@ - peel_ref(E1, E2.hash) + peel_ref(E1, &E2) @@ expression E1, E2; @@ - peel_ref(E1, E2->hash) + peel_ref(E1, E2) Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-10-11describe: do not use cmd_*() as a subroutineLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+11
The cmd_foo() function is a moral equivalent of 'main' for a Git subcommand 'git foo', and as such, it is allowed to do many things that make it unsuitable to be called as a subroutine, including - call exit(3) to terminate the process; - allocate resource held and used throughout its lifetime, without releasing it upon return/exit; - rely on global variables being initialized at program startup, and update them as needed, making another clean invocation of the function impossible. The call to cmd_diff_index() "git describe" makes has been working by accident that the function did not call exit(3); it sets a bad precedent for people to cut and paste. We could invoke it via the run_command() interface, but the diff family of commands have helper functions in diff-lib.c that are meant to be usable as subroutines, and using the latter does not make the resulting code all that longer. Use it. Note that there is also an invocation of cmd_name_rev() at the end; "git describe --contains" massages its command line arguments to be suitable for "git name-rev" invocation and jumps to it, never to regain control. This call is left as-is as an exception to the rule. When we start to allow calling name-rev repeatedly as a helper function, we would be able to remove this call as well.
