2008-08-21compat/snprintf.c: handle snprintf's that always return the # chars transmittedLibravatar Brandon Casey1-0/+4
Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_ returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of whether there was enough space or not. IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided. Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to be safe.

2008-06-22Add target architecture MinGW.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-3/+16
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>
2008-03-05Add compat/snprintf.c for systems that return bogusLibravatar Michal Rokos1-0/+40
Some systems (namely HPUX and Windows) return -1 when maxsize in snprintf() and in vsnprintf() is reached. So replace snprintf() and vsnprintf() functions with our own ones that return correct value upon overflow. [jc: verified that review comments by J6t have been incorporated, and tightened the check to verify the resulting buffer contents, suggested by Wayne Davison] Signed-off-by: Michal Rokos <michal.rokos@nextsoft.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
