2016-09-29remove unnecessary check before QSORTLibravatar René Scharfe1-6/+4
Add a semantic patch for removing checks similar to the one that QSORT already does internally and apply it to the code base. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-09-15use strbuf_addstr() for adding constant strings to a strbuf, part 2Libravatar René Scharfe1-1/+1
Replace uses of strbuf_addf() for adding strings with more lightweight strbuf_addstr() calls. This makes the intent clearer and avoids potential issues with printf format specifiers. 02962d36845b89145cd69f8bc65e015d78ae3434 already converted six cases, this patch covers eleven more. A semantic patch for Coccinelle is included for easier checking for new cases that might be introduced in the future.

Convert most instances where the sha1 member of struct object is dereferenced to use get_object_hash.

2014-10-15refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags fieldLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-1/+1
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.

2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid repeating stringsLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with strlen, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += strlen("bar"); This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the string (and there is no compiler check that we didn't make a typo in one of the strings). We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating ourselves. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-06-18avoid using skip_prefix as a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
There's no point in using: if (skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) over if (starts_with(buf, "foo")) as the point of skip_prefix is to return a pointer to the data after the prefix. Using starts_with is more readable, and will make refactoring skip_prefix easier. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-13commit: record buffer length in cacheLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the cached version attached to the commit, rather than re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no indication of the original length. For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to avoid malicious trickery. This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with some further refactoring we could).

Each of these sites assumes that commit->buffer is valid. Since they would segfault if this was not the case, they are likely to be correct in practice. However, we can future-proof them by using get_commit_buffer. And as a side effect, we abstract away the final bare uses of commit->buffer.

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #, in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

The credit lines "By" and "Via" to credit authors and committers for their contributions on the side branch are meant as a hint to the integrator to decide whom to mention in the log message text. After the integrator saves the message in the editor, they are meant to go away and that is why they are commented out. When a merge is recorded without editing the generated message, however, its contents do not go through the normal stripspace() and these lines are left in the merge. Stop producing them when we know the merge is going to be recorded without editing, i.e. when --no-edit is given. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-05-25fmt-merge-message: add empty line between tag and signature verificationLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+5
When adding the information from a tag, put an empty line between the message of the tag and the commented-out signature verification information. At least for the kernel workflow, I often end up re-formatting the message that people send me in the tag data. In that situation, putting the tag message and the tag signature verification back-to-back then means that normal editor "reflow parapgraph" command will get confused and think that the signature is a continuation of the last message paragraph. So I always end up having to first add an empty line, and then go back and reflow the last paragraph. Let's just do it in git directly. The extra vertical space also makes the verification visually stand out more from the user-supplied message, so it looks a bit more readable to me too, but that may be just an odd personal preference.

The record_person function just parses out the "name" field of the person line in a commit and adds it to a string_list. The only reason we need an extra buffer is that the string_list functions require a NUL-terminated string. Instead of the static buffer, we can just allocate a temporary NUL-terminated copy.

2012-03-13fmt-merge-msg: show those involved in a merged seriesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+110
As we already walk the history of the branch that gets merged to come up with a short log, let's label it with names of the primary authors, so that the user who summarizes the merge can easily give credit to them in the log message. Also infer the names of "lieutents" to help integrators at higher level of the food-chain to give credit to them, by counting: * The committer of the 'tip' commit that is merged * The committer of merge commits that are merged Often the first one gives the owner of the history being pulled, but his last pull from his sublieutenants may have been a fast-forward, in which case the first one would not be. The latter rule will count the integrator of the history, so together it might be a reasonable heuristics. There are two special cases: - The "author" credit is omitted when the series is written solely by the same author who is making the merge. The name can be seen on the "Author" line of the "git log" output to view the log message anyway. - The "lieutenant" credit is omitted when there is only one key committer in the merged branch and it is the committer who is making the merge. Typically this applies to the case where the developer merges his own branch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-12-05Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer useLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+5
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the static buffer's value. The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge() branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag); Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref() may be called again and destroy "branch". lookup_commit_or_die lookup_commit_reference lookup_commit_reference_gently parse_object lookup_replace_object do_lookup_replace_object prepare_replace_object for_each_replace_ref do_for_each_ref get_loose_refs get_ref_dir get_ref_dir resolve_ref All call sites are checked and made sure that xstrdup() is called if the value should be saved.
