2010-03-07Fix signature of fcntl() compatibility dummyLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+1
Obviously, this function was never called with two arguments in Windows code sections, but this will be the case in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-02-25Windows: redirect f[re]open("/dev/null") to f[re]open("nul")Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+6
On Windows, the equivalent of "/dev/null" is "nul". This implements compatibility wrappers around fopen() and freopen() that check for this particular file name.

2010-01-16MSVC: Windows-native implementation for subset of Pthreads APILibravatar Andrzej K. Haczewski1-0/+5
This patch implements native to Windows subset of pthreads API used by Git. It allows to remove Pthreads for Win32 dependency for MSVC, msysgit and Cygwin. [J6t: If the MinGW build was built as part of the msysgit build environment, then threading was already enabled because the pthreads-win32 package is available in msysgit. With this patch, we can now enable threaded code unconditionally.] Signed-off-by: Andrzej K.

2010-01-16MSVC: Fix an "incompatible pointer types" compiler warningLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+3
In particular, the following warning is issued while compiling compat/msvc.c: ...mingw.c(223) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible \ types - from '_stati64 *' to '_stat64 *' which relates to a call of _fstati64() in the mingw_fstat() function definition. This is caused by various layers of macro magic and attempts to avoid macro redefinition compiler warnings. For example, the call to _fstati64() mentioned above is actually a call to _fstat64(), and expects a pointer to a struct _stat64 rather than the struct _stati64 which is passed to mingw_fstat(). The definition of struct _stati64 given in compat/msvc.h had the same "shape" as the definition of struct _stat64, so the call to _fstat64() does not actually cause any runtime errors, but the structure types are indeed incompatible. In order to avoid the compiler warning, we add declarations for the mingw_lstat() and mingw_fstat() functions and supporting macros to msvc.h, suppressing the corresponding declarations in mingw.h, so that we can use the appropriate structure type (and function) names from the msvc headers.

2010-01-16Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child processLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+2
When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

2009-09-18Make usage of windows.h lean and meanLibravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-0/+2
Centralize the include of windows.h in git-compat-util.h, turn on WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid including plenty of other header files which is not needed in Git. Also ensure we load winsock2.h first, so we don't load the older winsock definitions at a later stage, since they contain duplicate definitions. When moving windows.h into git-compat-util.h, we need to protect the definition of struct pollfd in mingw.h, since this file is used by both MinGW and MSVC, and the latter defines this struct in winsock2.h. We need to keep the windows.h include in compat/win32.h, since its shared by both MinGW and Cygwin, and we're not touching Cygwin in this commit. The include in git-compat-util.h is protected with an ifdef WIN32, which is not the case when compiling for Cygwin.

The original readdir implementation was fast, but didn't support the d_type. This means that git would do additional lstats for each entry, to figure out if the entry was a directory or not. This unneedingly slowed down many operations, since Windows API provides this information directly when walking the directories.

2009-03-18MinGW: implement mmapLibravatar Janos Laube1-0/+5
Add USE_WIN32_MMAP which triggers the use of windows' native file memory mapping functionality in git_mmap()/git_munmap() functions. As git functions currently use mmap with MAP_PRIVATE set only, this implementation supports only that mode for now. On Windows, offsets for memory mapped files need to match the allocation granularity. Take this into account when calculating the packed git- windowsize and file offsets. At the moment, the only function which makes use of offsets in conjunction with mmap is use_pack() in sha1-file.c. Git fast-import's code path tries to map a portion of the temporary packfile that exceeds the current filesize, i.e. offset+length is greater than the filesize. The NO_MMAP code worked with that since pread() just reads the file content until EOF and returns gracefully, while MapViewOfFile() aborts the mapping and returns 'Access Denied'. Working around that by determining the filesize and adjusting the length parameter.

When overriding the identifier "stat" so that "struct stat" will be substituted with "struct _stati64" everywhere, I tried to fix the calls to the _function_ stat(), too, but I forgot to change the earlier attempt "stat64" to "_stati64" there. So, the stat() calls were overridden by calls to _stati64() instead.

2008-07-13help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell APILibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+3
The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which requires a Unix shell. Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good because it avoids potential path translation issues. In this case it is not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it. The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid platform-specific code in the main code base. On Windows, open_html is provided as a define. If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is used. This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using per-function ifdefs. The "ifndef open_html" together with the introductory comment should sufficiently warn developers, so that they hopefully will not break this mechanism.

2008-06-26Windows: Implement a custom spawnve().Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+1
The problem with Windows's own implementation is that it tries to be clever when a console program is invoked from a GUI application: In this case it sometimes automatically allocates a new console window. As a consequence, the IO channels of the spawned program are directed to the console, but the invoking application listens on channels that are now directed to nowhere. In this implementation we use the lowlevel facilities of CreateProcess(), which offers a flag to tell the system not to open a console. As a side effect, only stdin, stdout, and stderr channels will be accessible from C programs that are spawned. Other channels (file handles, pipe handles, etc.) are still inherited by the spawned program, but it doesn't get enough information to access them.

2008-06-26Windows: Implement wrappers for gethostbyname(), socket(), and connect().Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+9
gethostbyname() is the first function that calls into the Winsock library, and it is wrapped only to initialize the library. socket() is wrapped for two reasons: - Windows's socket() creates things that are like low-level file handles, and they must be converted into file descriptors first. - And these handles cannot be used with plain ReadFile()/WriteFile() because they are opened for "overlapped IO". We have to use WSASocket() to create non-overlapped IO sockets. connect() must be wrapped because Windows's connect() expects the low-level sockets, not file descriptors, and we must first unwrap the file descriptor before we can pass it on to Windows's connect().

2008-06-23Windows: Implement start_command().Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+8
On Windows, we have spawnv() variants to run a child process instead of fork()/exec(). In order to attach pipe ends to stdin, stdout, and stderr, we have to use this idiom: save1 = dup(1); dup2(pipe[1], 1); spawnv(); dup2(save1, 1); close(pipe[1]); assuming that the descriptors created by pipe() are not inheritable.

2008-06-23Windows: A pipe() replacement whose ends are not inherited to children.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-4/+1
On Unix the idiom to use a pipe is as follows: pipe(fd); pid = fork(); if (!pid) { dup2(fd[1], 1); close(fd[1]); close(fd[0]); ... } close(fd[1]); i.e. the child process closes the both pipe ends after duplicating one to the file descriptors where they are needed. On Windows, which does not have fork(), we never have an opportunity to (1) duplicate a pipe end in the child, (2) close unused pipe ends. Instead, we must use this idiom: save1 = dup(1); pipe(fd); dup2(fd[1], 1); spawn(...); dup2(save1, 1); close(fd[1]); i.e. save away the descriptor at the destination slot, replace by the pipe end, spawn process, restore the saved file. But there is a problem: Notice that the child did not only inherit the dup2()ed descriptor, but also *both* original pipe ends. Although the one end that was dup()ed could be closed before the spawn(), we cannot close the other end - the child inherits it, no matter what. The solution is to generate non-inheritable pipes. At the first glance, this looks strange: The purpose of pipes is usually to be inherited to child processes. But notice that in the course of actions as outlined above, the pipe descriptor that we want to inherit to the child is dup2()ed, and as it so happens, Windows's dup2() creates inheritable duplicates.

2008-06-23Windows: Work around misbehaved rename().Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+3
Windows's rename() is based on the MoveFile() API, which fails if the destination exists. Here we work around the problem by using MoveFileEx(). Furthermore, the posixly correct error is returned if the destination is a directory. The implementation is still slightly incomplete, however, because of the missing error code translation: We assume that the failure is due to permissions.

2008-06-23Windows: always chmod(, 0666) before unlink().Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
On Windows, read-only files cannot be deleted. To make sure that deletion does not fail because of this, always call chmod() before unlink(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: Implement a wrapper of the open() function.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+3
The wrapper does two things: - Requests to open /dev/null are redirected to open the nul pseudo file. - A request to open a file that currently exists as a directory on Windows fails with EACCES; this is changed to EISDIR. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: Treat Windows style path names.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+9
GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths of the machinery. We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through functions in setup.c. A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a directory separator on Windows. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>

2008-06-22Add target architecture MinGW.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+134
With this change GIT can be compiled and linked using MinGW. Builtins that only read the repository such as the log family and grep already work. Simple stubs are provided for a number of functions that the Windows C runtime does not offer. They will be completed in later patches. However, a fix for the snprintf/vsnprintf replacement is applied here to avoid buffer overflows. Dmitry Kakurin pointed out that access(..., X_OK) would always fails on Vista and suggested the -D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS workaround. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
