2008-08-03Modify mingw_main() workaround to avoid link errorsLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-2/+3
With MinGW's gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special) GNU ld version 2.17.50 20060824 the old define caused link errors: git.o: In function `main': C:/msysgit/git/git.c:500: undefined reference to `mingw_main' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The modified define works.

2008-07-25Windows: Make sure argv[0] has a pathLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+12
Since the exec-path on Windows is derived from the program invocation path, we must ensure that argv[0] always has a path. Unfortunately, if a program is invoked from CMD, argv[0] has no path. But on the other hand, the C runtime offers a global variable, _pgmptr, that always has the full path to the program. We hook into main() with a preprocessor macro, where we replace argv[0].

2008-07-19Add ANSI control code emulation for the Windows consoleLibravatar Peter Harris1-0/+11
This adds only the minimum necessary to keep git pull/merge's diffstat from wrapping. Notably absent is support for the K (erase) operation, and support for POSIX write.

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: Fix ntohl() related warnings about printf formattingLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+4
On Windows, ntohl() returns unsigned long. On Unix it returns uint32_t. This makes choosing a suitable printf format string hard. This commit introduces a mingw specific helper function git_ntohl() that casts to unsigned int before returning. This makes gcc's printf format check happy. It should be safe because we expect ntohl to use 32-bit numbers. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>

2008-06-26Windows: Use a customized struct stat that also has the st_blocks member.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-5/+13
Windows's struct stat does not have a st_blocks member. Since we already have our own stat/lstat/fstat implementations, we can just as well use a customized struct stat. This patch introduces just that, and also fills in the st_blocks member. On the other hand, we don't provide members that are never used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-26Windows: Add a custom implementation for utime().Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+3
This is a necessary pendant to our lstat implementation: MSVCRT's implementations of lstat and utime do some adjustments if daylight saving time is in effect, but our lstat implementation doesn't do these adjustments and report the correct UTC time. With this implementation we omit the adjustments in utime() as well and always write UTC. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-26Windows: Add a new lstat and fstat implementation based on Win32 API.Libravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-1/+9
This gives us a significant speedup when adding, committing and stat'ing files. Also, since Windows doesn't really handle symlinks, we let stat just uses lstat. We also need to replace fstat, since our implementation and the standard stat() functions report slightly different timestamps, possibly due to timezones. We simply report UTC in our implementation, and do our FILETIME to time_t conversion based on the document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167296.

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. Johannes Schindelin integrated path quoting and unified the various *execv* and *spawnv* helpers. Eric Raible suggested to also quote '{'. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
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: Wrap execve so that shell scripts can be invoked.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+3
When an external git command is invoked, it can be a Bourne shell script. This patch looks into the command file to see whether it is one. In this case, the command line is rearranged to invoke the shell with the proper arguments. With this change, scripted git commands work. Command line arguments to those scripts cannot be complex (contain spaces or double-quotes), yet. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: Implement setitimer() and sigaction().Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+3
The timer is implemented using a thread that calls the signal handler at regular intervals. We also replace Windows's signal() function because we must intercept that SIGALRM is set (which is used when a timer is canceled). Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: Fix PRIuMAX definition.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+1
Since GIT calls into Microsoft's MSVCRT.DLL, it must use the printf format that this DLL uses for 64-bit integers, which is %I64u instead of %llu. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
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>
