2017-10-13branch: split validate_new_branchname() into twoLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-9/+9
Checking if a proposed name is appropriate for a branch is strictly a subset of checking if we want to allow creating or updating a branch with such a name. The mysterious sounding 'attr_only' parameter to validate_new_branchname() is used to switch the function between these two roles. Instead, split the function into two, and adjust the callers. A new helper validate_branchname() only checks the name and reports if the branch already exists. This loses one NEEDSWORK from the branch API. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Code clean-up. * ds/avoid-overflow-in-midpoint-computation: cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search
2017-10-10cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary searchLibravatar Derrick Stolee3-4/+4
A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible integer overflow by using the simple average: mid = (min + max) / 2; Instead, use the overflow-safe version: mid = min + (max - min) / 2; This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using the following git grep: git grep '/ *2;' '*.c' Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new binary search is contructed based on existing code.

Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead. Currently 'strbuf_release' releases and re-initializes the strbuf, so it is safe, but slow. 'strbuf_reset' only resets the internal length variable, such that this could also be accounted for as a micro-optimization.

2017-10-04provide --color option for all ref-filter usersLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+2
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so with --color/--no-color. But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the "color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands the usual color command-line options. This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

2017-09-27git: add --no-optional-locks optionLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run commands like "git status" in the background to keep track of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may refresh the index and write out the result in an opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be recomputed by the next caller. But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words, "git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it. There are a couple possible solutions: 1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other commands to tell status that they want the lock. This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to implement (and maybe even impossible with just dotlocks to work from, as it requires some inter-process communication). 2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status" that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring instead plumbing like diff-files, etc. This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that "status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the repository state than is available from individual plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_ want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands like diff-files expect us to refresh the index separately and write it to disk so that they can depend on the result. But that write is exactly what we're trying to avoid. 3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index. This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any work done in refreshing the index for such a call is lost when the process exits. So a background process may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times until the user runs a command that does an index refresh themselves. This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test) is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes a "git" option and matching environment variable. The reason there is two-fold: 1. An environment variable is carried through to sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a background process or not should apply to the whole process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls "status", you'll still get the effect. 2. There may be other programs that want the same treatment. I've punted here on finding more callers to convert, since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh of the index may be a good candidate. The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating Johannes's explanation: Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

2017-09-27worktree: check the result of read_in_full()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+18
We try to read "len" bytes into a buffer and just assume that it happened correctly. In practice this should usually be the case, since we just stat'd the file to get the length. But we could be fooled by transient errors or by other processes racily truncating the file. Let's be more careful. There's a slim chance this could catch a real error, but it also prevents people and tools from getting worried while reading the code.

2017-09-27prefer "!=" when checking read_in_full() resultLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Comparing the result of read_in_full() using less-than is potentially dangerous, as a negative return value may be converted to an unsigned type and be considered a success. This is discussed further in 561598cfcf (read_pack_header: handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result, 2017-09-13). Each of these instances is actually fine in practice: - in get-tar-commit-id, the HEADERSIZE macro expands to a signed integer. If it were switched to an unsigned type (e.g., a size_t), then it would be a bug. - the other two callers check for a short read only after handling a negative return separately. This is a fine practice, but we'd prefer to model "!=" as a general rule. So all of these cases can be considered cleanups and not actual bugfixes.

2017-09-24object_array: add and use `object_array_pop()`Libravatar Martin Ågren3-9/+3
In a couple of places, we pop objects off an object array `foo` by decreasing `foo.nr`. We access `foo.nr` in many places, but most if not all other times we do so read-only, e.g., as we iterate over the array. But when we change `foo.nr` behind the array's back, it feels a bit nasty and looks like it might leak memory. Leaks happen if the popped element has an allocated `name` or `path`. At the moment, that is not the case. Still, 1) the object array might gain more fields that want to be freed, 2) a code path where we pop might start using names or paths, 3) one of these code paths might be copied to somewhere where we do, and 4) using a dedicated function for popping is conceptually cleaner. Introduce and use `object_array_pop()` instead. Release memory in the new function. Document that popping an object leaves the associated elements in limbo. The converted places were identified by grepping for "\.nr\>" and looking for "--". Make the new function return NULL on an empty array. This is consistent with `pop_commit()` and allows the following: while ((o = object_array_pop(&foo)) != NULL) { // do something } But as noted above, we don't need to go out of our way to avoid reading `foo.nr`. This is probably more readable: while (foo.nr) { ... o = object_array_pop(&foo); // do something } The name of `object_array_pop()` does not quite align with `add_object_array()`. That is unfortunate. On the other hand, it matches `object_array_clear()`. Arguably it's `add_...` that is the odd one out, since it reads like it's used to "add" an "object array". For that reason, side with `object_array_clear()`. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Instead of freeing `foo.objects` for an object array `foo` (sometimes conditionally), call `object_array_clear(&foo)`. This means we don't poke as much into the implementation, which is already a good thing, but also that we release the individual entries as well, thereby fixing at least one memory-leak (in diff-lib.c). If someone is holding on to a pointer to an element's `name` or `path`, that is now a dangling pointer, i.e., we'd be turning an unpleasant situation into an outright bug. To the best of my understanding no such long-term pointers are being taken. The way we handle `study` in builting/reflog.c still looks like it might leak. That will be addressed in the next commit.

Setting `leak_pending = 1` tells `prepare_revision_walk()` not to release the `pending` array, and makes that the caller's responsibility. See 4a43d374f (revision: add leak_pending flag, 2011-10-01) and 353f5657a (bisect: use leak_pending flag, 2011-10-01). Commit 1da1e07c8 (clean up name allocation in prepare_revision_walk, 2014-10-15) fixed a memory leak in `prepare_revision_walk()` by switching from `free()` to `object_array_clear()`. However, where we use the `leak_pending`-mechanism, we're still only calling `free()`. Use `object_array_clear()` instead. Copy some helpful comments from 353f5657a to the other callers that we update to clarify the memory responsibilities, and to highlight that the commits are not affected when we clear the array -- it is indeed correct to both tidy up the commit flags and clear the object array.

Release `pathspec` and the string list `partial`. When we clear the string list, make sure we do not free the `util` pointers. That would result in double-freeing, since we set them up as `item->util = item` in `list_paths()`. Initialize the string list early, so that we can always release it. That introduces some unnecessary overhead in various code paths, but means there is one and only one way out of the function.

2017-09-24branch: fix "copy" to never touch HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+3
When creating a new branch B by copying the branch A that happens to be the current branch, it also updates HEAD to point at the new branch. It probably was made this way because "git branch -c A B" piggybacked its implementation on "git branch -m A B", This does not match the usual expectation. If I were sitting on a blue chair, and somebody comes and repaints it to red, I would accept ending up sitting on a chair that is now red (I am also OK to stand, instead, as there no longer is my favourite blue chair). But if somebody creates a new red chair, modelling it after the blue chair I am sitting on, I do not expect to be booted off of the blue chair and ending up on sitting on the new red one. Let's fix this before it hits 'next'. Those who want to create a new branch and switch to it can do "git checkout B" after doing a "git branch -c B", and if that operation is so useful and deserves a short-hand way to do so, perhaps extend "git checkout -b B" to copy configurations while creating the new branch B.

2017-09-22consistently use "fallthrough" comments in switchesLibravatar Jeff King4-1/+4
Gcc 7 adds -Wimplicit-fallthrough, which can warn when a switch case falls through to the next case. The general idea is that the compiler can't tell if this was intentional or not, so you should annotate any intentional fall-throughs as such, leaving it to complain about any unannotated ones. There's a GNU __attribute__ which can be used for annotation, but of course we'd have to #ifdef it away on non-gcc compilers. Gcc will also recognize specially-formatted comments, which matches our current practice. Let's extend that practice to all of the unannotated sites (which I did look over and verify that they were behaving as intended). Ideally in each case we'd actually give some reasons in the comment about why we're falling through, or what we're falling through to. And gcc does support that with -Wimplicit-fallthrough=2, which relaxes the comment pattern matching to anything that contains "fallthrough" (or a variety of spelling variants). However, this isn't the default for -Wimplicit-fallthrough, nor for -Wextra. In the name of simplicity, it's probably better for us to support the default level, which requires "fallthrough" to be the only thing in the comment (modulo some window dressing like "else" and some punctuation; see the gcc manual for the complete set of patterns). This patch suppresses all warnings due to -Wimplicit-fallthrough. We might eventually want to add that to the DEVELOPER Makefile knob, but we should probably wait until gcc 7 is more widely adopted (since earlier versions will complain about the unknown warning type).

2017-09-22cat-file: handle NULL object_context.pathLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Commit dc944b65f1 (get_sha1_with_context: dynamically allocate oc->path, 2017-05-19) changed the rules that callers must follow for seeing if we parsed a path in the object name. The rules switched from "check if the oc.path buffer is empty" to "check if the oc.path pointer is NULL". But that commit forgot to update some sites in cat_one_file(), meaning we might dereference a NULL pointer. You can see this by making a path-aware request like --textconv without specifying --path, and giving an object name that doesn't have a path in it. Like: git cat-file --textconv HEAD which will reliably segfault. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-09-21fast-export: do not copy from modified fileLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-14/+32
When run with the "-C" option, fast-export writes 'C' commands in its output whenever the internal diff mechanism detects a file copy, indicating that fast-import should copy the given existing file to the given new filename. However, the diff mechanism works against the prior version of the file, whereas fast-import uses whatever is current. This causes issues when a commit both modifies a file and uses it as the source for a copy. Therefore, teach fast-export to refrain from writing 'C' when it has already written a modification command for a file. An existing test in t9350-fast-export is also fixed in this patch. The existing line "C file6 file7" copies the wrong version of file6, but it has coincidentally worked because file7 was subsequently overridden.
