Weather balloon to break people with compilers that do not support C99. * bc/require-c99: git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99 support
2021-12-01git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99 supportLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use. We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX system which we are interested in supporting has C99. Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009. Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently capable. Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing a problem to report that to us on the list. Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0. For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't. Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers. In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself, since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that doesn't support it by default.

2021-10-21git-sh-setup: remove "sane_grep", it's not needed anymoreLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+0
Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons for why it existed don't apply anymore: 1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See e1622bfcbad (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity, 2009-11-23). Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C" that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings will behave the same under any locale. 2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b9 (sane_grep: pass "-a" if grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep uses deal with binary data.

2021-09-27hook-list.h: add a generated list of hooks, like config-list.hLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+7
Make githooks(5) the source of truth for what hooks git supports, and punt out early on hooks we don't know about in find_hook(). This ensures that the documentation and the C code's idea about existing hooks doesn't diverge. We still have Perl and Python code running its own hooks, but that'll be addressed by Emily Shaffer's upcoming "git hook run" command. This resolves a long-standing TODO item in bugreport.c of there being no centralized listing of hooks, and fixes a bug with the bugreport listing only knowing about 1/4 of the p4 hooks. It didn't know about the recent "reference-transaction" hook either. We could make the find_hook() function die() or BUG() out if the new known_hook() returned 0, but let's make it return NULL just as it does when it can't find a hook of a known type. Making it die() is overly anal, and unlikely to be what we need in catching stupid typos in the name of some new hook hardcoded in git.git's sources. By making this be tolerant of unknown hook names, changes in a later series to make "git hook run" run arbitrary user-configured hook names will be easier to implement. I have not been able to directly test the CMake change being made here. Since 4c2c38e800 (ci: modification of main.yml to use cmake for vs-build job, 2020-06-26) some of the Windows CI has a hard dependency on CMake, this change works there, and is to my eyes an obviously correct use of a pattern established in previous CMake changes, namely: - 061c2240b1 (Introduce CMake support for configuring Git, 2020-06-12) - 709df95b78 (help: move list_config_help to builtin/help, 2020-04-16) - 976aaedca0 (msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29) The LC_ALL=C is needed because at least in my locale the dash ("-") is ignored for the purposes of sorting, which results in a different order. I'm not aware of anything in git that has a hard dependency on the order, but e.g. the bugreport output would end up using whatever locale was in effect when git was compiled.

2021-06-28cmake(windows): set correct path to the system Git configLibravatar Dennis Ameling1-4/+7
Currently, when Git for Windows is built with CMake, the system Git config is expected in a different location than when building via `make`: the former expects it to be in `<runtime-prefix>/mingw64/etc/gitconfig`, the latter in `<runtime-prefix>/etc/gitconfig`. Because of this, things like `git clone` do not work correctly (because cURL is no longer able to find its certificate bundle that it needs to validate HTTPS certificates). See the full bug report and discussion here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3071#issuecomment-789261386.

2021-06-11cmake: create compile_commands.json by defaultLibravatar Matthew Rogers1-0/+4
Some users have expressed interest in a more "batteries included" way of building via CMake[1], and a big part of that is providing easier access to tooling external tools. A straightforward way to accomplish this is to make it as simple as possible is to enable the generation of the compile_commands.json file, which is supported by many tools such as: clang-tidy, clang-format, sourcetrail, etc. This does come with a small run-time overhead during the configuration step (~6 seconds on my machine): Time to configure with CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=TRUE real 1m9.840s user 0m0.031s sys 0m0.031s Time to configure with CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=FALSE real 1m3.195s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.015s This seems like a small enough price to pay to make the project more accessible to newer users. Additionally there are other large projects like llvm [2] which has had this enabled by default for >6 years at the time of this writing, and no real negative consequences that I can find with my search-skills. NOTE: That the compile_commands.json is currently produced only when using the Ninja and Makefile generators. See The CMake documentation[3] for more info. 1: https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAOjrSZusMSvs7AS-ZDsV8aQUgsF2ZA754vSDjgFKMRgi_oZAWw@mail.gmail.com/ 2: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/2c5712051b31b316a9fc972f692579bd8efa6e67 3: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS.html Signed-off-by: Matthew Rogers <mattr94@gmail.com> Acked-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-06-11cmake: add knob to disable vcpkgLibravatar Matthew Rogers1-4/+15
When building on windows users have the option to use vcpkg to provide the dependencies needed to compile. Previously, this was used only when using the Visual Studio generator which was not ideal because: - Not all users who want to use vcpkg use the Visual Studio generators. - Some versions of Visual Studio 2019 moved away from using the VS 2019 generator by default, making it impossible for Visual Studio to configure the project in the likely event that it couldn't find the dependencies. - Inexperienced users of CMake are very likely to get tripped up by the errors caused by a lack of vcpkg, making the above bullet point both annoying and hard to debug. As such, let's make using vcpkg the default on windows. Users who want to avoid using vcpkg can disable it by passing -DNO_VCPKG=TRUE.

2021-03-29cmake(install): include vcpkg dllsLibravatar Dennis Ameling1-0/+4
Our CMake configuration generates not only build definitions, but also install definitions: After building Git using `msbuild git.sln`, the built artifacts can be installed via `msbuild INSTALL.vcxproj`. To specify _where_ the files should be installed, the `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>` option can be used when running CMake. However, this process would really only install the files that were just built. On Windows, we need more than that: We also need the `.dll` files of the dependencies (such as libcurl). The `vcpkg` ecosystem, which we use to obtain those dependencies, can be asked to install said `.dll` files really easily, so let's do that. This requires more than just the built `vcpkg` artifacts in the CI build definition; We now clone the `vcpkg` repository so that the relevant CMake scripts are available, in particular the ones related to defining the toolchain.

2021-03-29cmake: add a preparatory work-around to accommodate `vcpkg`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-5/+9
We are about to add support for installing the `.dll` files of Git's dependencies (such as libcurl) in the CMake configuration. The `vcpkg` ecosystem from which we get said dependencies makes that relatively easy: simply turn on `X_VCPKG_APPLOCAL_DEPS_INSTALL`. However, current `vcpkg` introduces a limitation if one does that: While it is totally cool with CMake to specify multiple targets within one invocation of `install(TARGETS ...) (at least according to https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/install.html#command:install), `vcpkg`'s parser insists on a single target per `install(TARGETS ...)` invocation. Well, that's easily accomplished: Let's feed the targets individually to the `install(TARGETS ...)` function in a `foreach()` look. This also has the advantage that we do not have to manually cull off the two entries from the `${PROGRAMS_BUILT}` array before scheduling the remainder to be installed into `libexec/git-core`. Instead, we iterate through the array and decide for each entry where it wants to go. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Note: In contrast to the Makefile-based process, the built-ins would only be linked during installation, not already when Git is built. Therefore, the CMake-based build that we use in our CI builds _already_ does not link those built-ins (because the files are not installed anywhere, they are used to run the test suite in-place).

2021-03-22simple-ipc: add Unix domain socket implementationLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-0/+2
Create Unix domain socket based implementation of "simple-ipc". A set of `ipc_client` routines implement a client library to connect to an `ipc_server` over a Unix domain socket, send a simple request, and receive a single response. Clients use blocking IO on the socket. A set of `ipc_server` routines implement a thread pool to listen for and concurrently service client connections. The server creates a new Unix domain socket at a known location. If a socket already exists with that name, the server tries to determine if another server is already listening on the socket or if the socket is dead. If socket is busy, the server exits with an error rather than stealing the socket. If the socket is dead, the server creates a new one and starts up. If while running, the server detects that its socket has been stolen by another server, it automatically exits.

2021-03-15unix-stream-server: create unix domain socket under lockLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-1/+1
Create a wrapper class for `unix_stream_listen()` that uses a ".lock" lockfile to create the unix domain socket in a race-free manner. Unix domain sockets have a fundamental problem on Unix systems because they persist in the filesystem until they are deleted. This is independent of whether a server is actually listening for connections. Well-behaved servers are expected to delete the socket when they shutdown. A new server cannot easily tell if a found socket is attached to an active server or is leftover cruft from a dead server. The traditional solution used by `unix_stream_listen()` is to force delete the socket pathname and then create a new socket. This solves the latter (cruft) problem, but in the case of the former, it orphans the existing server (by stealing the pathname associated with the socket it is listening on). We cannot directly use a .lock lockfile to create the socket because the socket is created by `bind(2)` rather than the `open(2)` mechanism used by `tempfile.c`. As an alternative, we hold a plain lockfile ("<path>.lock") as a mutual exclusion device. Under the lock, we test if an existing socket ("<path>") is has an active server. If not, we create a new socket and begin listening. Then we use "rollback" to delete the lockfile in all cases. This wrapper code conceptually exists at a higher-level than the core unix_stream_connect() and unix_stream_listen() routines that it consumes. It is isolated in a wrapper class for clarity.

Remove support for using version 1 of the PCRE library. Its use has been discouraged by upstream for a long time, and it's in a bugfix-only state. Anyone who was relying on v1 in particular got a nudge to move to v2 in e6c531b808 (Makefile: make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease mean v2, not v1, 2018-03-11), which was first released as part of v2.18.0. With this the LIBPCRE2 test prerequisites is redundant to PCRE. But I'm keeping it for self-documentation purposes, and to avoid conflict with other in-flight PCRE patches. I'm also not changing all of our own "pcre2" names to "pcre", i.e. the inverse of 6d4b5747f0 (grep: change internal *pcre* variable & function names to be *pcre1*, 2017-05-25).

2020-09-30cmake (Windows): initialize vcpkg/build dependencies automaticallyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+4
The idea of having CMake support in Git's source tree is to enable contributors on Windows to start contributing with little effort. To that end, we just added some sensible defaults that will let users open the worktree in Visual Studio and start building. This expects the dependencies (such as zlib) to be available already, though. If they are not available, we expect the user to run `compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat`. Rather than requiring this step to be manual, detect the situation and run it as part of the CMake configuration step. Note that this obviously only applies to the scenario when we want to compile in Visual Studio (i.e. with MS Visual C), not with GCC. Therefore, we guard this new code block behind the `MSVC` conditional. This concludes our journey to make it as effortless as possible to start developing Git in Visual Studio: all the developer needs to do is to clone Git's repository, open the worktree via `File>Open>Folder...` and wait for CMake to finish configuring.

The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6bc in 2012. We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of "make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working properly"[1]). We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However, it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my system that only switches the error message. So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice. It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this code. And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as appropriate): { echo "--" git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD } | git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change. Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by resurrecting it from the git history. As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git from 21MB to 19MB.

2020-08-13make credential helpers builtinsLibravatar Jeff King1-19/+1
There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_ to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed, the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large. We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins. This reduces the size of: make strip install from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system. Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that dies with an informative message. That has two advantages: - it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside the credential-cache source - a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken. Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as well).

2020-06-26cmake: support for building git on windows with msvc and clang.Libravatar Sibi Siddharthan1-10/+45
This patch adds support for Visual Studio and Clang builds The minimum required version of CMake is upgraded to 3.15 because this version offers proper support for Clang builds on Windows. Libintl is not searched for when building with Visual Studio or Clang because there is no binary compatible version available yet. NOTE: In the link options invalidcontinue.obj has to be included. The reason for this is because by default, Windows calls abort()'s instead of setting errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to standard functions. This commit explains it in detail: 4b623d80f73528a632576990ca51e34c333d5dd6 On Windows the default generator is Visual Studio,so for Visual Studio builds do this: cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` NOTE: Visual Studio generator is a multi config generator, which means that Debug and Release builds can be done on the same build directory. For Clang builds do this: On bash CC=clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release] On cmd set CC=Clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release] Signed-off-by: Sibi Siddharthan <sibisiddharthan.github@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-06-26cmake: support for testing git with ctestLibravatar Sibi Siddharthan1-0/+124
This patch provides an alternate way to test git using ctest. CTest ships with CMake, so there is no additional dependency being introduced. To perform the tests with ctest do this after building: ctest -j[number of jobs] NOTE: -j is optional, the default number of jobs is 1 Each of the jobs does this: cd t/ && sh t[something].sh The reason for using CTest is that it logs the output of the tests in a neat way, which can be helpful during diagnosis of failures. After the tests have run ctest generates three log files located in `build-directory`/Testing/Temporary/ These log files are: CTestCostData.txt: This file contains the time taken to complete each test. LastTestsFailed.log: This log file contains the names of the tests that have failed in the run. LastTest.log: This log file contains the log of all the tests that have run. A snippet of the file is given below. 10/901 Testing: D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh 10/901 Test: D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh Command: "sh.exe" "D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh" Directory: D:/my/git-master/t "D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh" Output: ---------------------------------------------------------- ok 1 - basic ordering ok 2 - mixed put and get ok 3 - notice empty queue ok 4 - stack order passed all 4 test(s) 1..4 <end of output> Test time = 1.11 sec NOTE: Testing only works when building in source for now.

2020-06-12Introduce CMake support for configuring GitLibravatar Sibi Siddharthan1-0/+592
At the moment, the recommended way to configure Git's builds is to simply run `make`. If that does not work, the recommended strategy is to look at the top of the `Makefile` to see whether any "Makefile knob" has to be turned on/off, e.g. `make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease`. Alternatively, Git also has an `autoconf` setup which allows configuring builds via `./configure [<option>...]`. Both of these options are fine if the developer works on Unix or Linux. But on Windows, we have to jump through hoops to configure a build (read: we force the user to install a full Git for Windows SDK, which occupies around two gigabytes (!) on disk and downloads about three quarters of a gigabyte worth of Git objects). The build infrastructure for Git is written around being able to run make, which is not supported natively on Windows. To help Windows developers a CMake build script is introduced here. With a working support CMake, developers on Windows need only install CMake, configure their build, load the generated Visual Studio solution and immediately start modifying the code and build their own version of Git. Likewise, developers on other platforms can use the convenient GUI tools provided by CMake to configure their build. So let's start building CMake support for Git. This is only the first step, and to make it easier to review, it only allows for configuring builds on the platform that is easiest to configure for: Linux. The CMake script checks whether the headers are present(eg. libgen.h), whether the functions are present(eg. memmem), whether the funtions work properly (eg. snprintf) and generate the required compile definitions for the platform. The script also searches for the required libraries, if it fails to find the required libraries the respective executables won't be built.(eg. If libcurl is not found then git-remote-http won't be built). This will help building Git easier. With a CMake script an out of source build of git is possible resulting in a clean source tree. Note: this patch asks for the minimum version v3.14 of CMake (which is not all that old as of time of writing) because that is the first version to offer a platform-independent way to generate hardlinks as part of the build. This is needed to generate all those hardlinks for the built-in commands of Git. Signed-off-by: Sibi Siddharthan <sibisiddharthan.github@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In b18ae14a8f6 (vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins, 2019-07-29), we started to copy or hard-link the built-ins as a post-build step of the `git` project. At the same time, we tried to copy or hard-link `git-remote-http.exe`, but it is quite possible that it was not built at that time.

2019-09-28contrib/buildsystems: fix Visual Studio Debug configurationLibravatar Alexandr Miloslavskiy1-7/+8
Even though Debug configuration builds, the resulting build is incorrect in a subtle way: it mixes up Debug and Release binaries, which in turn causes hard-to-predict bugs. In my case, when git calls iconv library, iconv sets 'errno' and git then tests it, but in Debug and Release CRT those 'errno' are different memory locations. This patch addresses 3 connected bugs: 1) Typo in '\(Configuration)'. As a result, Debug configuration condition is always false and Release path is taken instead. 2) Regexp that replaced 'zlib.lib' with 'zlibd.lib' was only affecting the first occurrence. However, some projects have it listed twice. Previously this bug was hidden, because Debug path was never taken. I decided that avoiding double -lz in makefile is fragile and I'd better replace all occurrences instead. 3) In Debug, 'libcurl-d.lib' should be used instead of 'libcurl.lib'. Previously this bug was hidden, because Debug path was never taken.
