MS Visual C suggests that the construct
condition ? (int) i : (ptrdiff_t) d
is incorrect. Let's fix this by casting to ptrdiff_t also for the
positive arm of the conditional.

Code cleanup.
* tt/no-ipv6-fallback-for-winxp:
mingw: remove obsolete IPv6-related code
|
|
Workaround for standard-compliant but less-than-useful behaviour of
access(2) for the root user.
* cc/access-on-aix-workaround:
git-compat-util: work around for access(X_OK) under root
|
|
To support IPv6, Git provided fall back functions for Windows versions
that did not support IPv6. However, as Git dropped support for Windows
XP and prior, those functions are not needed anymore.
Remove those fallbacks by reverting fe3b2b7b827c (Enable support for
IPv6 on MinGW, 2009-11-24) and using the functions directly (without
'ipv6_' prefix).

On AIX, access(X_OK) may succeed when run as root even if the
execution isn't possible. This behavior is allowed by POSIX
which says:
... for a process with appropriate privileges, an implementation
may indicate success for X_OK even if execute permission is not
granted to any user.
It can lead hook programs to have their execution refused:
git commit -m content
fatal: cannot exec '.git/hooks/pre-commit': Permission denied
Add NEED_ACCESS_ROOT_HANDLER in order to use an access helper function.
It checks with stat if any executable flags is set when the current user
is root.

The include file compat/bswap.h has been updated so that it is safe
to (accidentally) include it more than once.
* jk/guard-bswap-header:
compat/bswap: add include header guards
|
|
Our compat/bswap.h lacks the usual preprocessor guards against multiple
inclusion. This usually isn't an issue since it only gets included from
git-compat-util.h, which has its own guards. But it would produce
redeclaration errors if any file included it separately.
Our hdr-check target would complain about this, except that it currently
skips items in compat/ entirely.

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

Running up to v2.21.0, we fixed two bugs that were made prominent by the
Windows-specific change to retain copies of only the 30 latest getenv()
calls' returned strings, invalidating any copies of previous getenv()
calls' return values.
While this really shines a light onto bugs of the form where we hold
onto getenv()'s return values without copying them, it is also a real
problem for users.
And even if Jeff King's patches merged via 773e408881 (Merge branch
'jk/save-getenv-result', 2019-01-29) provide further work on that front,
we are far from done. Just one example: on Windows, we unset environment
variables when spawning new processes, which potentially invalidates
strings that were previously obtained via getenv(), and therefore we
have to duplicate environment values that are somehow involved in
spawning new processes (e.g. GIT_MAN_VIEWER in show_man_page()).
We do not have a chance to investigate, let address, all of those issues
in time for v2.21.0, so let's at least help Windows users by increasing
the number of getenv() calls' return values that are kept valid. The
number 64 was determined by looking at the average number of getenv()
calls per process in the entire test suite run on Windows (which is
around 40) and then adding a bit for good measure. And it is a power of
two (which would have hit yesterday's theme perfectly).

Windows update.

mingw: use a more canonical method to fix the CPU reporting
|
|
* nd/fileno-may-be-macro:
git-compat-util: work around fileno(fp) that is a macro
|
|
In `git version --build-options`, we report also the CPU, but in Git for
Windows we actually cross-compile the 32-bit version in a 64-bit Git for
Windows, so we cannot rely on the auto-detected value.
In 3815f64b0dd9 (mingw: fix CPU reporting in `git version
--build-options`, 2019-02-07), we fixed this by a Windows-only
workaround, making use of magic pre-processor constants, which works in
GCC, but most likely not all C compilers.
As pointed out by Eric Sunshine, there is a better way, anyway: to set
the Makefile variable HOST_CPU explicitly for cross-compiled Git. So
let's do that!

On various BSD's, fileno(fp) is implemented as a macro that directly
accesses the fields in the FILE * object, which breaks a function that
accepts a "void *fp" parameter and calls fileno(fp) and expect it to
work.
Work it around by adding a compile-time knob FILENO_IS_A_MACRO that
inserts a real helper function in the middle of the callchain.

compilation option found questionable.
* sg/obstack-cast-function-type-fix:
compat/obstack: fix -Wcast-function-type warnings
|

Users who want UTF-16 files in the working tree set the .gitattributes
like this:
test.txt working-tree-encoding=UTF-16
The unicode standard itself defines 3 allowed ways how to encode UTF-16.
The following 3 versions convert all back to 'g' 'i' 't' in UTF-8:
a) UTF-16, without BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
b) UTF-16, with BOM, little endian:
$ printf "\377\376g\000i\000t\000" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
c) UTF-16, with BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\376\377\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
Git uses libiconv to convert from UTF-8 in the index into ITF-16 in the
working tree.
After a checkout, the resulting file has a BOM and is encoded in "UTF-16",
in the version (c) above.
This is what iconv generates, more details follow below.
iconv (and libiconv) can generate UTF-16, UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE:
d) UTF-16
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16 | od -c
0000000 376 377 \0 g \0 i \0 t
e) UTF-16LE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | od -c
0000000 g \0 i \0 t \0
f) UTF-16BE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE | od -c
0000000 \0 g \0 i \0 t
There is no way to generate version (b) from above in a Git working tree,
but that is what some applications need.
(All fully unicode aware applications should be able to read all 3 variants,
but in practise we are not there yet).
When producing UTF-16 as an output, iconv generates the big endian version
with a BOM. (big endian is probably chosen for historical reasons).
iconv can produce UTF-16 files with little endianess by using "UTF-16LE"
as encoding, and that file does not have a BOM.
Not all users (especially under Windows) are happy with this.
Some tools are not fully unicode aware and can only handle version (b).
Today there is no way to produce version (b) with iconv (or libiconv).
Looking into the history of iconv, it seems as if version (c) will
be used in all future iconv versions (for compatibility reasons).
Solve this dilemma and introduce a Git-specific "UTF-16LE-BOM".
libiconv can not handle the encoding, so Git pick it up, handles the BOM
and uses libiconv to convert the rest of the stream.
(UTF-16BE-BOM is added for consistency)

Every once in a while, the Azure Pipeline fails with some semi-random
error: timer thread did not terminate timely
This error message means that the thread that is used to emulate the
setitimer() function did not terminate within 1,000 milliseconds.
The most likely explanation (and therefore the one we should assume to
be true, according to Occam's Razor) is that the timeout of one second
is simply not enough because we try to run so many tasks in parallel.
So let's give it ten seconds instead of only one. That should be enough.

The MSYS2 runtime does its best to emulate the command-line wildcard
expansion and de-quoting which would be performed by the calling Unix
shell on Unix systems.
Those Unix shell quoting rules differ from the quoting rules applying to
Windows' cmd and Powershell, making it a little awkward to quote
command-line parameters properly when spawning other processes.
In particular, git.exe passes arguments to subprocesses that are *not*
intended to be interpreted as wildcards, and if they contain
backslashes, those are not to be interpreted as escape characters, e.g.
when passing Windows paths.
Note: this is only a problem when calling MSYS2 executables, not when
calling MINGW executables such as git.exe. However, we do call MSYS2
executables frequently, most notably when setting the use_shell flag in
the child_process structure.
There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be
executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of
passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to
work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe.
Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh", and
whether it refers to the MSYS2 Bash, to determine whether we need to
quote the arguments differently than usual.
That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is
something.
Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo`
failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path
to the git-upload-pack process.
Further, we need to take care to quote not only whitespace and
backslashes, but also curly brackets. As aliases frequently go through
the MSYS2 Bash, and as aliases frequently get parameters such as
HEAD@{yesterday}, this is really important. As an early version of this
patch broke this, let's make sure that this does not regress by adding a
test case for that.

GCC 8 introduced the new -Wcast-function-type warning, which is
implied by -Wextra (which, in turn is enabled in our DEVELOPER flags).
When building Git with GCC 8 and this warning enabled on a non-glibc
platform [1], one is greeted with a screenful of compiler
warnings/errors:
compat/obstack.c: In function '_obstack_begin':
compat/obstack.c:162:17: error: cast between incompatible function types from 'void * (*)(long int)' to 'struct _obstack_chunk * (*)(void *, long int)' [-Werror=cast-function-type]

^
compat/obstack.c:163:16: error: cast between incompatible function types from 'void (*)(void *)' to 'void (*)(void *, struct _obstack_chunk *)' [-Werror=cast-function-type]

^
compat/obstack.c:168:22: note: in expansion of macro 'CALL_CHUNKFUN'
chunk = h->chunk = CALL_CHUNKFUN (h, h -> chunk_size);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
<snip>
'struct obstack' stores pointers to two functions to allocate and free
"chunks", and depending on how obstack is used, these functions take
either one parameter (like standard malloc() and free() do; this is
how we use it in 'kwset.c') or two parameters. Presumably to reduce
memory footprint, a single field is used to store the function pointer
for both signatures, and then it's casted to the appropriate signature
when the function pointer is accessed. These casts between function
pointers with different number of parameters are what trigger those
compiler errors.
Modify 'struct obstack' to use unions to store function pointers with
different signatures, and then use the union member with the
appropriate signature when accessing these function pointers. This
eliminates the need for those casts, and thus avoids this compiler
error.
[1] Compiling 'compat/obstack.c' on a platform with glibc is sort of
a noop, see the comment before '# define ELIDE_CODE', so this is
not an issue on common Linux distros.

A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c,
"real_path: resolve symlinks by hand".
In the the commit message we read:
The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve
symlinks. Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a
process as a whole...
The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.
The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path,
but the new string operation does not.
"git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this:
fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo'
The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix()
is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin
in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch]
Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it
for cygwin as well.

The value of timeout starts as an int value, and for this reason it
cannot overflow unsigned long long aka ULONGLONG. The unsigned version
of this initial value is available in orig_timeout. The difference
(orig_timeout - elapsed) cannot wrap around because it is protected by
a conditional (as can be seen in the patch text). Hence, the ULONGLONG
difference can only have values that are smaller than the initial
timeout value and truncation to int cannot overflow.

Since a9b8a09c3c30 (mingw: replace isatty() hack, 2016-12-22), we handle
isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptors,
caching the return value. However, we missed the case where dup2()
overrides the respective file descriptor.
That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very
early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the
return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently,
`cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should
happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and
consequently stdout should be left alone.
Let's override dup2() to handle this appropriately.

Git for Windows ships with its own Perl interpreter, and insists on
using it, so it will most likely wreak havoc if PERL5LIB is set before
launching Git.
Let's just unset that environment variables when spawning processes.
To make this feature extensible (and overrideable), there is a new
config setting `core.unsetenvvars` that allows specifying a
comma-separated list of names to unset before spawning processes.

In the Git for Windows project, we have ample precendent for config
settings that apply to Windows, and to Windows only.
Let's formalize this concept by introducing a platform_core_config()
function that can be #define'd in a platform-specific manner.
This will allow us to contain platform-specific code better, as the
corresponding variables no longer need to be exported so that they can

On Windows, the authoritative environment is encoded in UTF-16. In Git
for Windows, we convert that to UTF-8 (because UTF-16 is *such* a
foreign idea to Git that its source code is unprepared for it).
Previously, out of performance concerns, we converted the entire
environment to UTF-8 in one fell swoop at the beginning, and upon
putenv() and run_command() converted it back.
Having a private copy of the environment comes with its own perils: when
a library used by Git's source code tries to modify the environment, it
does not really work (in Git for Windows' case, libcurl, see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/bcad1e6d58^...bcad1e6d58^2
for a glimpse of the issues).
Hence, it makes our environment handling substantially more robust if we
switch to on-the-fly-conversion in `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls. Based
on an initial version in the MSVC context by Jeff Hostetler, this patch
makes it so.
Surprisingly, this has a *positive* effect on speed: at the time when
the current code was written, we tested the performance, and there were
*so many* `getenv()` calls that it seemed better to convert everything
in one go. In the meantime, though, Git has obviously been cleaned up a
bit with regards to `getenv()` calls so that the Git processes spawned
by the test suite use an average of only 40 `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls
over the process lifetime.
Speaking of the entire test suite: the total time spent in the
re-encoding in the current code takes about 32.4 seconds (out of 113
minutes runtime), whereas the code introduced in this patch takes only
about 8.2 seconds in total. Not much, but it proves that we need not be
concerned about the performance impact introduced by this patch.
