HOME initialization was historically duplicated in many different places,
including /etc/profile, launch scripts such as git-bash.vbs and gitk.cmd,
and (although slightly broken) in the git-wrapper.
Even unrelated projects such as GitExtensions and TortoiseGit need to
implement the same logic to be able to call git directly.
Initialize HOME in git's own startup code so that we can eventually retire
all the duplicate initialization code.

In 39a98e9b68b8 (mingw: get pw_name in UTF-8 format, 2019-06-27), this
developer missed the fact that the `GetUserNameW()` function takes the

Many Win32 API functions actually exist in two variants: one with
the `A` suffix that takes ANSI parameters (`char *` or `const char *`)
and one with the `W` suffix that takes Unicode parameters (`wchar_t *`
or `const wchar_t *`).
The ANSI variant assumes that the strings are encoded according to
whatever is the current locale. This is not what Git wants to use on
Windows: we assume that `char *` variables point to strings encoded in
UTF-8.
There is a pseudo UTF-8 locale on Windows, but it does not work
as one might expect. In addition, if we overrode the user's locale, that
would modify the behavior of programs spawned by Git (such as editors,
difftools, etc), therefore we cannot use that pseudo locale.
Further, it is actually highly encouraged to use the Unicode versions
instead of the ANSI versions, so let's do precisely that.
Note: when calling the Win32 API functions _without_ any suffix, it
depends whether the `UNICODE` constant is defined before the relevant
headers are #include'd. Without that constant, the ANSI variants are
used. Let's be explicit and avoid that ambiguity.

On Windows >= Vista, not having an application manifest with a
requestedExecutionLevel can cause several kinds of confusing behavior.
The first and more obvious behavior is "Installer Detection" of the
"User Account Control" (also known as "UAC") feature, where Windows
sometimes decides (by looking at things like the file name and even
sequences of bytes within the executable) that an executable is an
installer and should run elevated (causing the well-known popup dialog
to appear). In Git's context, subcommands such as "git patch-id" or "git
update-index" fall prey to this behavior.
The second and more confusing behavior is "File Virtualization". It
means that when files are written without having write permission, it
does not fail (as expected), but they are instead redirected to
somewhere else. When the files are read, the original contents are
returned, though, not the ones that were just written somewhere else.
Even more confusing, not all write accesses are redirected; Trying to
write to write-protected .exe files, for example, will fail instead of
redirecting.
In addition to being unwanted behavior, File Virtualization causes
dramatic slowdowns in Git (see for instance
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=320).
A third unwanted behavior of Windows >= Vista is that it lies about the
Windows version when calling `GetWindowsVersionEx()`.
There are two ways to prevent these unwanted behaviors: Either you embed
an application manifest (which really is an XML document conforming to a
specific schema) within all your executables, or you add an external
manifest (a file with the same name followed by `.manifest`) to all your
executables. Since Git's builtins are hardlinked (or copied), it is
simpler and more robust to embed a manifest.
Recent enough MSVC compilers already embed a working internal manifest,
and building with mingw-w64 (which is the case in Git for Windows' SDK)
does it, too, but for MinGW you have to do so by hand.
In any case, it is better to be explicit about this manifest, that way
changes in the compiler toolchain won't surprise us (as mingw-w64 once
did when it broke `GetWindowsVersionEx()` by mistake).

For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a
running application triggers a window that offers to start the debugger.
However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in
particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because
we disable the invalid parameter checking (via invalidcontinue.obj, see
the comment in config.mak.uname about that object for more information).
So let's simply disable that window in Debug Mode (it is already
disabled in Release Mode).

With this patch, Git can be built using the Microsoft toolchain, via:
make MSVC=1 [DEBUG=1]
Third party libraries are built from source using the open source
"vcpkg" tool set. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
On a first build, the vcpkg tools and the third party libraries are
automatically downloaded and built. DLLs for the third party libraries
are copied to the top-level (and t/helper) directory to facilitate
debugging. See compat/vcbuild/README.
A series of .bat files are invoked by the Makefile to find the location
of the installed version of Visual Studio and the associated compiler
tools (essentially replicating the environment setup performed by a
"Developer Command Prompt"). This should find the most recent VS2015 or
VS2017 installation. Output from these scripts are used by the Makefile
to define compiler and linker pathnames and -I and -L arguments.
The build produces .pdb files for both debug and release builds.
Note: This commit was squashed from an organic series of commits
developed between 2016 and 2018 in Git for Windows' `master` branch.
This combined commit eliminates the obsolete commits related to fetching
NuGet packages for third party libraries. It is difficult to use NuGet
packages for C/C++ sources because they may be built by earlier versions
of the MSVC compiler and have CRT version and linking issues.
Additionally, the C/C++ NuGet packages that we were using tended to not
be updated concurrently with the sources. And in the case of cURL and
OpenSSL, this could expose us to security issues.

This constant is not defined in MSVC's headers.
In UCRT's fcntl.h, _O_RDONLY, _O_WRONLY and _O_RDWR are defined as 0, 1
and 2, respectively. Yes, that means that UCRT breaks with the tradition
that O_RDWR == O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY.
It is a perfectly legal way to define those constants, though, therefore
we need to take care of defining O_ACCMODE accordingly.
This is particularly important in order to keep our "open() can set
errno to EISDIR" emulation working: it tests that (flags & O_ACCMODE) is
not identical to O_RDONLY before going on to test specifically whether
the file for which open() reported EACCES is, in fact, a directory.

Git for Windows has special code to retrieve the command-line parameters
(and even the environment) in UTF-16 encoding, so that they can be
converted to UTF-8. This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to
use UTF-8 encoded strings throughout its code, and the main() function
does not get the parameters in that encoding.
To do that, we used the __wgetmainargs() function, which is not even a
Win32 API function, but provided by the MINGW "runtime" instead.
Obviously, this method would not work with any compiler other than GCC,
and in preparation for compiling with Visual C++, we would like to avoid
precisely that.
Lucky us, there is a much more elegant way: we can simply implement the
UTF-16 variant of `main()`: `wmain()`.
To make that work, we need to link with -municode. The command-line
parameters are passed to `wmain()` encoded in UTF-16, as desired, and
this method also works with GCC, and also with Visual C++ after
adjusting the MSVC linker flags to force it to use `wmain()`.

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.

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).

In `git version --build-options`, we report also the CPU, but in 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!

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)

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]
h->chunkfun = (struct _obstack_chunk * (*)(void *, long)) chunkfun;
^
compat/obstack.c:163:16: error: cast between incompatible function types from 'void (*)(void *)' to 'void (*)(void *, struct _obstack_chunk *)' [-Werror=cast-function-type]
h->freefun = (void (*) (void *, struct _obstack_chunk *)) freefun;
^
compat/obstack.c:116:8: error: cast between incompatible function types from 'struct _obstack_chunk * (*)(void *, long int)' to 'struct _obstack_chunk * (*)(long int)' [-Werror=cast-function-type]
: (*(struct _obstack_chunk *(*) (long)) (h)->chunkfun) ((size)))
^
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.
