2021-09-30difftool: remove an unnecessary call to strbuf_release()Libravatar David Aguilar1-2/+0
The `buf` strbuf is reused again later in the same function, so there is no benefit to calling strbuf_release(). The subsequent usage is already using strbuf_reset() to reset the buffer, so releasing it early is only going to lead to a wasteful reallocation. Remove the early call to strbuf_release(). The same strbuf is already cleaned up in the "finish:" section so nothing is leaked, either. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-09-30difftool: refactor dir-diff to write files using helper functionsLibravatar David Aguilar1-22/+28
Add a helpers function to handle the unlinking and writing of the dir-diff submodule and symlink stand-in files. Use the helpers to implement the guts of the hashmap loops. This eliminate duplicate code and safeguards the submodules hashmap loop against the symlink-chasing behavior that 5bafb3576a (difftool: fix symlink-file writing in dir-diff mode, 2021-09-22) addressed. The submodules loop should not strictly require the unlink() call that this is introducing to them, but it does not necessarily hurt them either beyond the cost of the extra unlink().

The paths generated by difftool are passed to user-facing diff tools. Using paths with repeated slashes in them is a cosmetic blemish that is exposed to users and can be avoided. Use a strbuf to create the buffer used for the dir-diff tmpdir. Strip trailing slashes from the value read from TMPDIR to avoid repeated slashes in the generated paths.

* da/difftool-dir-diff-symlink-fix: difftool: fix symlink-file writing in dir-diff mode
2021-09-23difftool: fix symlink-file writing in dir-diff modeLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+2
The difftool dir-diff mode handles symlinks by replacing them with their readlink(2) values. This allows diff tools to see changes to symlinks as if they were regular text diffs with the old and new path values. This is analogous to what "git diff" displays when symlinks change. The temporary diff directories that are created initially contain symlinks because they get checked-out using a temporary index that retains the original symlinks as checked-in to the repository. A bug was introduced when difftool was rewritten in C that made difftool write the readlink(2) contents into the pointed-to file rather than the symlink itself. The write was going through the symlink and writing to its target rather than writing to the symlink path itself. Replace symlinks with raw text files by unlinking the symlink path before writing the readlink(2) content into them. When 18ec800512 (difftool: handle modified symlinks in dir-diff mode, 2017-03-15) added handling for modified symlinks this bug got recorded in the test suite. The tests included the pointed-to symlink target paths. These paths were being reported because difftool was erroneously writing to them, but they should have never been reported nor written. Correct the modified-symlinks test cases by removing the target files from the expected output. Add a test to ensure that symlinks are written with the readlink(2) values and that the target files contain their original content.

2021-09-12parse-options API: remove OPTION_ARGUMENT featureLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+3
As was noted in 1a85b49b87a (parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more useful, 2019-03-14) there's only ever been one user of the OPT_ARGUMENT(), that user was added in 20de316e334 (difftool: allow running outside Git worktrees with --no-index, 2019-03-14). The OPT_ARGUMENT() feature itself was added way back in 580d5bffdea (parse-options: new option type to treat an option-like parameter as an argument., 2008-03-02), but as discussed in 1a85b49b87a wasn't used until 20de316e334 in 2019. Now that the preceding commit has migrated this code over to using "struct strvec" to manage the "args" member of a "struct child_process", we can just use that directly instead of relying on OPT_ARGUMENT. This has a minor change in behavior in that if we'll pass --no-index we'll now always pass it as the first argument, before we'd pass it in whatever position the caller did. Preserving this was the real value of OPT_ARGUMENT(), but as it turns out we didn't need that either. We can always inject it as the first argument, the other end will parse it just the same. Note that we cannot remove the "out" and "cpidx" members of "struct parse_opt_ctx_t" added in 580d5bffdea, while they were introduced with OPT_ARGUMENT() we since used them for other things.

2020-07-30strvec: rename struct fieldsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array, but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

2020-07-28strvec: fix indentation in renamed callsLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+6
Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like: argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in mis-matched indentation like: strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did this manually by sifting through the results of: git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$' and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

2020-07-28strvec: convert builtin/ callers away from argv_array nameLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+7
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/".

2019-01-24cache.h: flip NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS switchLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
By default, index compat macros are off from now on, because they could hide the_index dependency. Only those in builtin can use it. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-11-14checkout: print something when checking out pathsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
One of the problems with "git checkout" is that it does so many different things and could confuse people specially when we fail to handle ambiguation correctly. One way to help with that is tell the user what sort of operation is actually carried out. When switching branches, we always print something unless --quiet, either - "HEAD is now at ..." - "Reset branch ..." - "Already on ..." - "Switched to and reset ..." - "Switched to a new branch ..." - "Switched to branch ..." Checking out paths however is silent. Print something so that if we got the user intention wrong, they won't waste too much time to find that out. For the remaining cases of checkout we now print either - "Checked out ... paths out of the index" - "Checked out ... paths out of <abbrev hash>" Since the purpose of printing this is to help disambiguate. Only do it when "--" is missing. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
