2019-01-27strbuf.cocci: suggest strbuf_addbuf() to add one strbuf to an otherLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+30
The best way to add one strbuf to an other is via: strbuf_addbuf(&sb, &sb2); This is a bit more idiomatic and efficient than: strbuf_addstr(&sb, sb2.buf); because the size of the second strbuf is known and thus it can spare a strlen() call, and much more so than: strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s", sb2.buf); because it can spare the whole vsnprintf() formatting magic. Add new semantic patches to 'contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci' to catch these undesired patterns and to suggest strbuf_addbuf() instead. Luckily, our codebase is already clean from any such undesired patterns (but one of the in-flight topics just tried to sneak in such a strbuf_addf() call).

2018-02-02cocci: simplify check for trivial format stringsLibravatar René Scharfe1-16/+1
353d84c537 (coccicheck: make transformation for strbuf_addf(sb, "...") more precise) added a check to avoid transforming calls with format strings which contain percent signs, as that would change the result. It uses embedded Python code for that. Simplify this rule by using the regular expression matching operator instead.

2018-01-19cocci: use format keyword instead of a literal stringLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+2
There's a rule in strbuf.cocci for converting trivial uses of strbuf_addf() to strbuf_addstr() in order to simplify the code and improve performance a bit. Coccinelle 1.0.0~rc19.deb-3 on Travis CI lets the "%s" in that rule match format strings like "%d" as well for some reason, though, leading to invalid proposed patches. Use the "format" keyword to let Coccinelle parse the format string and match the conversion specifier with a trivial regular expression instead. This works fine with both Coccinelle 1.0.0~rc19.deb-3 and 1.0.4.deb-3+b3 (the current version on Debian testing).

2017-02-27strbuf: add strbuf_add_real_path()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6
Add a function for appending the canonized absolute pathname of a given path to a strbuf. It keeps the existing contents intact, as expected of a function of the strbuf_add() family, while avoiding copying the result if the given strbuf is empty. It's more consistent with the rest of the strbuf API than strbuf_realpath(), which it's wrapping. Also add a semantic patch demonstrating its intended usage and apply it to the current tree. Using strbuf_add_real_path() instead of calling strbuf_addstr() and real_path() avoids an extra copy to a static buffer.

2016-10-03coccicheck: make transformation for strbuf_addf(sb, "...") more preciseLibravatar René Scharfe1-3/+26
We can replace strbuf_addf() calls that just add a simple string with calls to strbuf_addstr() to make the intent clearer. We need to be careful if that string contains printf format specifications like %%, though, as a simple replacement would change the output. Add checks to the semantic patch to make sure we only perform the transformation if the second argument is a string constant (possibly translated) that doesn't contain any percent signs.

2016-09-27use strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() for adding short hashes, part 2Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6
Call strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() to add abbreviated hashes to strbufs instead of taking detours through find_unique_abbrev() and its static buffer. This is shorter and a bit more efficient. 1eb47f167d65d1d305b9c196a1bb40eb96117cb1 already converted six cases, this patch covers three more. A semantic patch for Coccinelle is included for easier checking for new cases that might be introduced in the future.
