2014-07-24fix memory leak parsing core.commentcharLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+5
When we see the core.commentchar config option, we extract the string with git_config_string, which does two things: 1. It complains via config_error_nonbool if there is no string value. 2. It makes a copy of the string. Since we immediately parse the string into its single-character value, we only care about (1). And in fact (2) is a detriment, as it means we leak the copy. Instead, let's just check the pointer value ourselves, and parse directly from the const string we already have.

2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-05-23strbuf: add strbuf_tolower functionLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+1
This is a convenience wrapper to call tolower on each character of the string. This makes config's lowercase() function obsolete, though note that because we have a strbuf, we are careful to operate over the whole strbuf, rather than assuming that a NUL is the end-of-string. We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but there would be no callers (in most pure-string cases, we actually duplicate and lowercase the duplicate, for which we have the xstrdup_tolower wrapper).

2014-05-19commit: allow core.commentChar=auto for character auto selectionLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
When core.commentChar is "auto", the comment char starts with '#' as in default but if it's already in the prepared message, find another char in a small subset. This should stop surprises because git strips some lines unexpectedly. Note that git is not smart enough to recognize '#' as the comment char in custom templates and convert it if the final comment char is different. It thinks '#' lines in custom templates as part of the commit message. So don't use this with custom templates.

2014-02-18config: disallow relative include paths from blobsLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+6
When we see a relative config include like: [include] path = foo we make it relative to the containing directory of the file that contains the snippet. This makes no sense for config read from a blob, as it is not on the filesystem. Something like "HEAD:some/path" could have a relative path within the tree, but: 1. It would not be part of include.path, which explicitly refers to the filesystem. 2. It would need different parsing rules anyway to determine that it is a tree path. The current code just uses the "name" field, which is wrong. Let's split that into "name" and "path" fields, use the latter for relative includes, and fill in only the former for blobs.

git-config used a static match array to hold the matches we want to unset/replace when using --unset or --replace-all. Use a variable-sized array instead. This in particular fixes the symptoms git-svn had when storing large numbers of svn-remote.*.added-placeholder entries in the config file. While the tests are rather more paranoid than just --unset and --replace-all, the other operations already worked. Indeed git-svn's usage only breaks the first time *after* creating so many entries, when it wants to unset and re-add them all.

2013-09-09git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internallyLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it considers to be an "int". This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long), which is not documented and is subject to change. And even if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a git-config option to match that behavior. Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using (and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is there). Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look at config variables with large values. For instance, one cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit "unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the script cannot read any value over 2G. Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however, a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

2013-09-09config: make numeric parsing errors more clearLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+12
If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a number outside of the representable range, we die with the cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'". We can improve two things: 1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad config value '3g' for 'foo.bar'). 2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g., "invalid unit" versus "out of range"). A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that should not be representative of real-world breakage, as scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.

2013-09-09config: set errno in numeric git_parse_* functionsLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+14
When we are parsing an integer or unsigned long, we use the strto*max functions, which properly set errno to ERANGE if we get a large value. However, we also do further range checks after applying our multiplication factor, but do not set ERANGE. This means that a caller cannot tell if an error was caused by ERANGE or if the input was simply not a valid number. This patch teaches git_parse_signed and git_parse_unsigned to set ERANGE for range errors, and EINVAL for other errors, so that the caller can reliably tell these cases apart.

2013-09-09config: properly range-check integer valuesLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+6
When we look at a config value as an integer using the git_config_int function, we carefully range-check the value we get and complain if it is out of our range. But the range we compare to is that of a "long", which we then cast to an "int" in the function's return value. This means that on systems where "int" and "long" have different sizes (e.g., LP64 systems), we may pass the range check, but then return nonsense by truncating the value as we cast it to an int. We can solve this by converting git_parse_long into git_parse_int, and range-checking the "int" range. Nobody actually cared that we used a "long" internally, since the result was truncated anyway. And the only other caller of git_parse_long is git_config_maybe_bool, which should be fine to just use int (though we will now forbid out-of-range nonsense like setting "merge.ff" to "10g" to mean "true", which is probably a good thing).

2013-09-09config: factor out integer parsing from range checksLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+22
When we are parsing integers for config, we use an intmax_t (or uintmax_t) internally, and then check against the size of our result type at the end. We can parameterize the maximum representable value, which will let us re-use the parsing code for a variety of range checks. Unfortunately, we cannot combine the signed and unsigned parsing functions easily, as we have to rely on the signed and unsigned C types internally.

Portability fix. * hv/config-from-blob: config: do not use C function names as struct members
2013-08-26config: do not use C function names as struct membersLibravatar Jeff King1-16/+16
According to C99, section 7.1.4: Any function declared in a header may be additionally implemented as a function-like macro defined in the header. Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc" may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call: char c = cf->fgetc(cf); This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure. The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways: 1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to remember to use it (and on systems without the macro, forgetting will compile just fine). 2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must also be providing fgetc as a function). This is undesirable because presumably the implementation was using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are dropping that optimization. Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.
