2016-09-07compat: move strdup(3) replacement to its own fileLibravatar René Scharfe1-16/+0
Move our implementation of strdup(3) out of compat/nedmalloc/ and allow it to be used independently from USE_NED_ALLOCATOR. The original nedmalloc doesn't come with strdup() and doesn't need it. Only _users_ of nedmalloc need it, which was added when we imported it to our compat/ hierarchy. This reduces the difference of our copy of nedmalloc from the original, making it easier to update, and allows for easier testing and reusing of our version of strdup().

2016-08-05nedmalloc: work around overzealous GCC 6 warningLibravatar René Scharfe1-5/+4
With GCC 6, the strdup() function is declared with the "nonnull" attribute, stating that it is not allowed to pass a NULL value as parameter. In nedmalloc()'s reimplementation of strdup(), Postel's Law is heeded and NULL parameters are handled gracefully. GCC 6 complains about that now because it thinks that NULL cannot be passed to strdup() anyway. Because the callers in this project of strdup() must be prepared to call any implementation of strdup() supplied by the platform, so it is pointless to pretend that it is OK to call it with NULL. Remove the conditional based on NULL-ness of the input; this squelches the warning. Check the return value of malloc() instead to make sure we actually got the memory to write to. See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html for details.

2016-08-04nedmalloc: fix misleading indentationLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
Some code in nedmalloc is indented in a funny way that could be misinterpreted as if a line after a for loop was included in the loop body, when it is not. GCC 6 complains about this in DEVELOPER=YepSure mode. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-10-05prefer memcpy to strcpyLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+3
When we already know the length of a string (e.g., because we just malloc'd to fit it), it's nicer to use memcpy than strcpy, as it makes it more obvious that we are not going to overflow the buffer (because the size we pass matches the size in the allocation). This also eliminates calls to strcpy, which make auditing the code base harder. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-28compat/nedmalloc: Fix some sparse warningsLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
Sparse issues many "Using plain integer as NULL pointer" warnings while checking nedmalloc.c (at least 98 such warnings before giving up due to "too many warnings"). In addition, sparse issues some "non-ANSI function declaration" type warnings for the symbols 'win32_getcurrentthreadid', 'malloc_stats' and 'malloc_footprint'. In order to suppress the NULL pointer warnings, rather than replace all uses of '0' as a null pointer representation with NULL, we add -Wno-non-pointer-null to SPARSE_FLAGS while checking nedmalloc.c. In order to suppress the "non-ANSI function declaration" warnings, we simply include the missing 'empty parameter list' prototype (void) in the function declarations.

2009-06-08Fix warnings in nedmalloc when compiling with GCC 4.4.0Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Nedmalloc's source code has a cute #define construct to avoid inserting an if() statement, because that might interact badly with enclosing if() statements. However, GCC > 4 complains with a "warning: value computed is not used". So we cast the result to "void". GCC also does not understand the Visual C++ specific pragmas, so we need to disable them for MinGW. We need to include malloc.h on Windows even if we happen to compile the stuff as a MinGW program. Otherwise the function declaration of alloca() is missing. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-06-01Add custom memory allocator to MinGW and MacOS buildsLibravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-0/+966
The standard allocator on Windows is pretty bad prior to Windows Vista, and nedmalloc is better than the modified dlmalloc provided with newer versions of the MinGW libc. NedMalloc stats in Git ---------------------- All results are the best result out of 3 runs. The benchmarks have been done on different hardware, so the repack times are not comparable. These benchmarks are all based on 'git repack -adf' on the Linux kernel.
