The mailing address for the FSF has changed over the years. Rather than updating the address across all files, refer readers to gnu.org, as the GNU GPL documentation now suggests for license notices. The mailing address is retained in the full license files (COPYING and LGPL-2.1). The old address is still present in t/diff-lib/COPYING.

2017-11-02mingw: optionally redirect stderr/stdout via the same handleLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+15
The "2>&1" notation in Powershell and in Unix shells implies that stderr is redirected to the same handle into which stdout is already written. Let's use this special value to allow the same trick with GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR and GIT_REDIRECT_STDOUT: if the former's value is `2>&1`, then stderr will simply be written to the same handle as stdout. The functionality was suggested by Jeff Hostetler. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-11-02mingw: add experimental feature to redirect standard handlesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+43
Particularly when calling Git from applications, such as Visual Studio's Team Explorer, it is important that stdin/stdout/stderr are closed properly. However, when spawning processes on Windows, those handles must be marked as inheritable if we want to use them, but that flag is a global flag and may very well be used by other spawned processes which then do not know to close those handles. Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and friends) that specify paths to files, or even better, named pipes (which are similar to Unix sockets) and that are used by the spawned Git process. This helps work around above-mentioned issue: those named pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon startup, and no handles are passed around (and therefore no inherited handles need to be closed by any spawned child). This feature shipped with Git for Windows (marked as experimental) since v2.11.0(2), so it has seen some serious testing in the meantime.

Code clean-up. * ds/avoid-overflow-in-midpoint-computation: cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search
2017-10-10cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary searchLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-3/+3
A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible integer overflow by using the simple average: mid = (min + max) / 2; Instead, use the overflow-safe version: mid = min + (max - min) / 2; This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using the following git grep: git grep '/ *2;' '*.c' Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new binary search is contructed based on existing code.

2017-09-26Win32: simplify loading of DLL functionsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+57
Dynamic loading of DLL functions is duplicated in several places in Git for Windows' source code. This patch adds a pair of macros to simplify the process: the DECLARE_PROC_ADDR(<dll>, <return-type>, <function-name>, ...<function-parameter-types>...) macro to be used at the beginning of a code block, and the INIT_PROC_ADDR(<function-name>) macro to call before using the declared function. The return value of the INIT_PROC_ADDR() call has to be checked; If it is NULL, the function was not found in the specified DLL. Example: DECLARE_PROC_ADDR(kernel32.dll, BOOL, CreateHardLinkW, LPCWSTR, LPCWSTR, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES); if (!INIT_PROC_ADDR(CreateHardLinkW)) return error("Could not find CreateHardLinkW() function"; if (!CreateHardLinkW(source, target, NULL)) return error("could not create hardlink from %S to %S", source, target); return 0; Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository" ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double slashes at the beginning.

If git is built with the FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES build variable set, this would cause sparse to issue a 'not declared, should it be static?' warning on Linux. This is a result of the method employed by 'compat/fopen.c' to suppress the (possible) redefinition of the (system) fopen macro, which also removes the extern declaration of the git_fopen function. In order to suppress the warning, introduce a new macro to suppress the definition (or possibly the re-definition) of the fopen symbol as a macro override. This new macro (SUPPRESS_FOPEN_REDEFINITION) is only defined in 'compat/fopen.c', just prior to the inclusion of the 'git-compat-util.h' header file.

2017-05-23mingw: simplify PATH handlingLibravatar René Scharfe1-68/+23
On Windows the environment variable PATH contains a semicolon-separated list of directories to search for, in order, when looking for the location of a binary to run. get_path_split() parses it and returns an array of string copies, which is iterated by path_lookup(), which in turn passes each entry to lookup_prog(). Change lookup_prog() to take the directory name as a length-limited string instead of as a NUL-terminated one and parse PATH directly in path_lookup(). This avoids memory allocations, simplifying the code.

2017-05-08winansi: avoid use of uninitialized valueLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+7
To initialize the foreground color attributes of "plain text", our ANSI emulation tries to infer them from the currently attached console while running the is_console() function. This function first tries to detect any console attached to stdout, then it is called with stderr. If neither stdout nor stderr has any console attached, it does not actually matter what we use for "plain text" attributes, as we never need to output any text to any console in that case. However, after working on stdout and stderr, is_console() is called with stdin, and it still tries to initialize the "plain text" attributes if they had not been initialized earlier. In this case, we cannot detect any attributes, and we used an uninitialized value for them. Naturally, Coverity complained about this use case because it could not reason about the code deeply enough to figure out that we do not even use those attributes in that case. Let's just initialize the value to 0 in that case, both to avoid future Coverity reports, and to help catch future regressions in case anybody changes the order of the is_console() calls (which would make the text black on black).

Add an implementation based on compat/qsort.c for platforms that lack a native standards-compliant qsort_s() (i.e. basically everyone). It doesn't perform the full range of possible checks: It uses size_t instead of rsize_t and doesn't check nmemb and size against RSIZE_MAX because we probably don't have the restricted size type defined.

Git only colours the output and uses pagination if isatty() returns 1.

This commit modifies the existing check to allow both MSYS2 and Cygwin PTY pipes to be identified as TTYs. Note that pagination is still broken when running Git for Windows from within Cygwin, as MSYS2's less.exe is spawned (and does not like to interact with Cygwin's PTY).

2016-12-11mingw: intercept isatty() to handle /dev/null as Git expects itLibravatar Johannes Schindelin2-0/+36
When Git's source code calls isatty(), it really asks whether the respective file descriptor is connected to an interactive terminal. Windows' _isatty() function, however, determines whether the file descriptor is associated with a character device. And NUL, Windows' equivalent of /dev/null, is a character device. Which means that for years, Git mistakenly detected an associated interactive terminal when being run through the test suite, which almost always redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null. This bug only became obvious, and painfully so, when the new bisect--helper entered the `pu` branch and made the automatic build & test time out because t6030 was waiting for an answer.

When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them. The symptom: Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed. Should I try again? (y/n) Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr). Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g. git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles. This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows. As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL. This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.
