2017-10-02coccinelle: remove parentheses that become unnecessaryLibravatar René Scharfe1-5/+5
Transformations that hide multiplications can end up with an pair of parentheses that is no longer needed. E.g. with a rule like this: @@ expression E; @@ - E * 2 + double(E) ... we might get a patch like this: - x = (a + b) * 2; + x = double((a + b)); Add a pair of parentheses to the preimage side of such rules. Coccinelle will generate patches that remove them if they are present, and it will still match expressions that lack them.

2017-07-17add MOVE_ARRAYLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+17
Similar to COPY_ARRAY (introduced in 60566cbb58), add a safe and convenient helper for moving potentially overlapping ranges of array entries. It infers the element size, multiplies automatically and safely to get the size in bytes, does a basic type safety check by comparing element sizes and unlike memmove(3) it supports NULL pointers iff 0 elements are to be moved. Also add a semantic patch to demonstrate the helper's intended usage. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-06-29coccinelle: polish FREE_AND_NULL rulesLibravatar René Scharfe1-9/+1
There are two rules for using FREE_AND_NULL in free.cocci, one for pointer types and one for expressions. Both cause coccinelle to remove empty lines and even newline characters between replacements for some reason; consecutive "free(x);/x=NULL;" sequences end up as multiple FREE_AND_NULL calls on the same time. Remove the type rule, as the expression rule already covers it, and rearrange the lines of the latter to place the addition of FREE_AND_NULL between the removals, which causes coccinelle to leave surrounding whitespace untouched.

2017-06-16coccinelle: add a rule to make "expression" code use FREE_AND_NULL()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+7

2017-03-10Merge branch 'rs/strbuf-add-real-path'Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-0/+22
An helper function to make it easier to append the result from real_path() to a strbuf has been added. * rs/strbuf-add-real-path: strbuf: add strbuf_add_real_path() cocci: use ALLOC_ARRAY
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.

2017-02-27cocci: use ALLOC_ARRAYLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+16
Add a semantic patch for using ALLOC_ARRAY to allocate arrays and apply the transformation on the current source tree. The macro checks for multiplication overflow and infers the element size automatically; the result is shorter and safer code.

2017-02-16Merge branch 'rs/cocci-check-free-only-null'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
A new coccinelle rule that catches a check of !pointer before the pointer is free(3)d, which most likely is a bug. * rs/cocci-check-free-only-null: cocci: detect useless free(3) calls

2017-01-30add SWAP macroLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+28
Add a macro for exchanging the values of variables. It allows users to avoid repetition and takes care of the temporary variable for them. It also makes sure that the storage sizes of its two parameters are the same. Its memcpy(1) calls are optimized away by current compilers. Also add a conservative semantic patch for transforming only swaps of variables of the same type. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-01-26abspath: add absolute_pathdup()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6

2016-11-01Merge branch 'rs/cocci'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+15
Improve the rule to convert "unsigned char [20]" into "struct object_id *" in contrib/coccinelle/ * rs/cocci: cocci: avoid self-references in object_id transformations
2016-11-01cocci: avoid self-references in object_id transformationsLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+15
The object_id functions oid_to_hex, oid_to_hex_r, oidclr, oidcmp, and oidcpy are defined as wrappers of their legacy counterparts sha1_to_hex, sha1_to_hex_r, hashclr, hashcmp, and hashcpy, respectively. Make sure that the Coccinelle transformations for converting legacy function calls are not applied to these wrappers themselves, which would result in tautological declarations.

d64ea0f83b ("git-compat-util: add xstrdup_or_null helper", 2015-01-12) added a handy wrapper that allows us to get a duplicate of a string or NULL if the original is NULL, but a handful of codepath predate its introduction or just weren't aware of it.

2016-10-10Merge branch 'rs/qsort'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+37

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.

2016-09-29add QSORTLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+19
Add the macro QSORT, a convenient wrapper for qsort(3) that infers the size of the array elements and supports the convention of initializing empty arrays with a NULL pointer, which we use in some places. Calling qsort(3) directly with a NULL pointer is undefined -- even with an element count of zero -- and allows the compiler to optimize away any following NULL checks. Using the macro avoids such surprises. Add a semantic patch as well to demonstrate the macro's usage and to automate the transformation of trivial cases.

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.

Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) is a program which performs mechanical transformations on C programs using semantic patches. These semantic patches can be used to implement automatic refactoring and maintenance tasks.
