2016-01-15mingw: avoid warnings when casting HANDLEs to intLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
HANDLE is defined internally as a void *, but in many cases it is actually guaranteed to be a 32-bit integer. In these cases, GCC should not warn about a cast of a pointer to an integer of a different type because we know exactly what we are doing.

2015-09-14poll: honor the timeout on Win32Libravatar Edward Thomson1-2/+14
Ensure that when passing a pipe, the gnulib poll replacement will not return 0 before the timeout has passed. Not obeying the timeout (and merely returning 0) causes pathological behavior when preparing a packfile for a repository and taking a long time to do so. If poll were to return 0 immediately, this would cause keep-alives to get sent as quickly as possible until the packfile was created. Such deviance from the standard would cause megabytes (or more) of keep-alive packets to be sent. GetTickCount is used as it is efficient, stable and monotonically increasing. (Neither GetSystemTime nor QueryPerformanceCounter have all three of these properties.)

2014-04-29compat/poll: sleep 1 millisecond to avoid busy waitLibravatar Theodore Leblond1-1/+1
SwitchToThread() only gives away the rest of the current time slice to another thread in the current process. So if the thread that feeds the file decscriptor we're polling is not in the current process, we get busy-waiting. I played around with this quite a bit. After trying some more complex schemes, I found that what worked best is to just sleep 1 millisecond between iterations. Though it's a very short time, it still completely eliminates the busy wait condition, without hurting perf. There code uses SleepEx(1, TRUE) to sleep. See this page for a good discussion of why that is better than calling SwitchToThread, which is what was used previously: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1383943/switchtothread-vs-sleep1 Note that calling SleepEx(0, TRUE) does *not* solve the busy wait. The most striking case was when testing on a UNC share with a large repo, on a single CPU machine. Without the fix, it took 4 minutes 15 seconds, and with the fix it took just 1:08! I think it's because git-upload-pack's busy wait was eating the CPU away from the git process that's doing the real work. With multi-proc, the timing is not much different, but tons of CPU time is still wasted, which can be a killer on a server that needs to do bunch of other things. I also tested the very fast local case, and didn't see any measurable difference. On a big repo with 4500 files, the upload-pack took about 2 seconds with and without the fix. [jc: this was first accepted in msysgit tree in May 2012 via a pull request and Paolo Bonzini has also accepted the same fix to Gnulib around the same time; see $gmane/247518 for a bit more detail] Signed-off-by: Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> Acked-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Acked-by: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-28compat/poll/poll.c: Fix a sparse warningLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+1
Sparse issues an 'Using plain integer as NULL pointer' warning when passing the constant '0' as the second parameter in the call to the WSAEventSelect() function. The function parameter has a pointer type (WSAEVENT, aka HANDLE, aka void *) so that, in order to suppress the warning, we simply pass NULL for that parameter in the function call expression.

2012-09-17poll() exits too early with EFAULT if 1st arg is NULLLibravatar Joachim Schmitz1-1/+1
If poll() is used as a milli-second sleep, like in help.c, by passing a NULL in the 1st and a 0 in the 2nd arg, it exits with EFAULT. As per Paolo Bonzini, the original author, this is a bug and to be fixed Like in this commit, which is not to exit if the 2nd arg is 0. It got fixed In gnulib in the same manner the other day.
