2013-04-28sparse: Fix mingw_main() argument number/type errorsLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
Sparse issues 68 errors (two errors for each main() function) such as the following: SP git.c git.c:510:5: error: too many arguments for function mingw_main git.c:510:5: error: symbol 'mingw_main' redeclared with different type \ (originally declared at git.c:510) - different argument counts The errors are caused by the 'main' macro used by the MinGW build to provide a replacement main() function. The original main function is effectively renamed to 'mingw_main' and is called from the new main function. The replacement main is used to execute certain actions common to all git programs on MinGW (e.g. ensure the standard I/O streams are in binary mode). In order to suppress the errors, we change the macro to include the parameters in the declaration of the mingw_main function. Unfortunately, this change provokes both sparse and gcc to complain about 9 calls to mingw_main(), such as the following: CC git.o git.c: In function 'main': git.c:510: warning: passing argument 2 of 'mingw_main' from \ incompatible pointer type git.c:510: note: expected 'const char **' but argument is of \ type 'char **' In order to suppress these warnings, since both of the main functions need to be declared with the same prototype, we change the declaration of the 9 main functions, thus: int main(int argc, char **argv) Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-28compat/mingw.c: Fix some sparse warningsLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-0/+7
Sparse issues the following warnings: SP compat/mingw.c compat/mingw.c:795:3: warning: symbol 'pinfo_t' was not declared. \ Should it be static? compat/mingw.c:796:16: warning: symbol 'pinfo' was not declared. \ Should it be static? compat/mingw.c:797:18: warning: symbol 'pinfo_cs' was not declared. \ Should it be static? compat/mingw.c:1207:23: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer In 'pinfo_t' variable, defined on line 795, seems to have been a mistake (a missing typedef keyword?), so we simply remove it. The 'pinfo' variable does not require more than file scope, so we simply add the static modifier to the declaration. The 'pinfo_cs' variable, in contrast, requires initialisation in the mingw replacement main() function, so we add an extern declaration to the compat/mingw.h header file. The remaining warning is suppressed by replacing the rhs of the pointer assignment with the NULL pointer literal.

check to compat Commit b2f5e268 (Windows: Work around an oddity when a pipe with no reader is written to) introduced a check for EINVAL after fflush() to fight spurious "Invalid argument" errors on Windows when a pipe was broken.

2012-04-18compat/mingw.h: Set S_ISUID to prevent a fast-import test failureLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-3/+4
The current t9300-fast-import.sh test number 62 ("L: nested tree copy does not corrupt deltas") was introduced in commit 9a0edb79 ("fast-import: add a test for tree delta base corruption", 15-08-2011). A fix for the demonstrated problem was introduced by commit 8fb3ad76 ("fast-import: prevent producing bad delta", 15-08-2011). However, this fix didn't work on MinGW and so this test has always failed on MinGW. Part of the solution in commit 8fb3ad76 was to add an NO_DELTA preprocessor constant which was defined as follows: +/* + * We abuse the setuid bit on directories to mean "do not delta". + */ +#define NO_DELTA S_ISUID + Unfortunately, the S_ISUID constant on MinGW is defined as zero. In order to fix the problem, we simply alter the definition of S_ISUID in the mingw header file to a more appropriate value. Also, we take the opportunity to similarly define S_ISGID and S_ISVTX.

2012-04-05compat/mingw.[ch]: Change return type of exec functions to intLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec functions. In addition, all exec functions return -1 on error, and simply do not return on success. However, the current emulation of the exec functions on mingw are declared with a void return type. This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the exec function in a non-void context. In particular, if an exec function were used in a conditional it would fail to compile. In order to improve the fidelity of the emulation, we change the return type of the mingw_execv[p] functions to int and return -1 on error.

Even though Windows's socket functions look like their POSIX counter parts, they do not operate on file descriptors, but on "socket objects".

2010-11-23win32: use our own dirent.hLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-29/+0
The mingw-runtime implemenation of opendir, readdir and closedir sets errno to 0 on success, something that POSIX explicitly forbids. 3ba7a06 ("A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot be read due to EMFILE") introduce a dependency on this behaviour, leading to a broken "git clone" on Windows. compat/mingw.c contains an implementation of readdir, and compat/msvc.c contains implementations of opendir and closedir. Move these to compat/win32/dirent.[ch], and change to our own DIR structure at the same time. This provides a generic Win32-implementation of opendir, readdir and closedir which works on both MinGW and MSVC and does not reset errno, and as a result git clone is working again on Windows.

2010-11-04mingw: use real pidLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-7/+3
The Windows port have so far been using process handles in place of PID. However, this is not work consistent with what getpid returns. PIDs are system-global identifiers, but process handles are local to a process. Using PIDs instead of process handles allows, for instance, a user to kill a hung process with the Task Manager, something that would have been impossible with process handles. Change the code to use the real PID, and use OpenProcess to get a process-handle. Store the PID and the process handle in a linked list protected by a critical section, so we can safely close the process handle later. Linked list code written by Pat Thoyts.

Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail. Cap them at 31MB to allow them to succeed. Callers need to be prepared for write() calls that do less work than requested anyway. On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista. Thus a cap of 31MB won't affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work.

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.)
