2022-02-16diff.[ch]: have diff_free() free options->parseoptsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
The "struct option" added in 4a288478394 (diff.c: prepare to use parse_options() for parsing, 2019-01-27) would be free'd in the case of diff_setup_done() being called. But not all codepaths that allocate it reach that, e.g. "t6427-diff3-conflict-markers.sh" will now free memory that it didn't free before. By using FREE_AND_NULL() here (which diff_setup_done() also does) we ensure that we free the memory, and that we won't have double-free's. Before this running: ./t6427-diff3-conflict-markers.sh -vixd --run=7 Would report: SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 7823 byte(s) leaked in 6 allocation(s). But now we'll report: SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 703 byte(s) leaked in 5 allocation(s). I.e. the largest leak in that particular test has now been addressed.

2022-02-16diff.[ch]: have diff_free() call clear_pathspec(opts.pathspec)Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Have the diff_free() function call clear_pathspec(). Since the diff_flush() function calls this all its callers can be simplified to rely on it instead. When I added the diff_free() function in e900d494dcf (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11) I simply missed this, or wasn't interested in it. Let's consolidate this now. This means that any future callers (and I've got revision.c in mind) that embed a "struct diff_options" can simply call diff_free() instead of needing know that it has an embedded pathspec. This does fix a bunch of leaks, but I can't mark any test here as passing under the SANITIZE=leak testing mode because in 886e1084d78 (builtin/: add UNLEAKs, 2017-10-01) an UNLEAK(rev) was added, which plasters over the memory leak. E.g. "t4011-diff-symlink.sh" would report fewer leaks with this fix, but because of the UNLEAK() reports none. I'll eventually loop around to removing that UNLEAK(rev) annotation as I'll fix deeper issues with the revisions API leaking. This is one small step on the way there, a new freeing function in revisions.c will want to call this diff_free().

2022-01-28diff-filter: be more careful when looking for negative bitsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-16/+7
The `--diff-filter=<bits>` option allows to filter the diff by certain criteria, for example `R` to only show renamed files. It also supports negating a filter via a down-cased letter, i.e. `r` to show _everything but_ renamed files. However, the code is a bit overzealous when trying to figure out whether `git diff` should start with all diff-filters turned on because the user provided a lower-case letter: if the `--diff-filter` argument starts with an upper-case letter, we must not start with all bits turned on. Even worse, it is possible to specify the diff filters in multiple, separate options, e.g. `--diff-filter=AM [...] --diff-filter=m`. Let's accumulate the include/exclude filters independently, and only special-case the "only exclude filters were specified" case after parsing the options altogether. Note: The code replaced by this commit took pains to avoid setting any unused bits of `options->filter`. That was unnecessary, though, as all accesses happen via the `filter_bit_tst()` function using specific bits, and setting the unused bits has no effect. Therefore, we can simplify the code by using `~0` (or in this instance, `~<unwanted-bit>`).

2021-12-09diff --color-moved: intern stringsLibravatar Phillip Wood1-78/+96
Taking inspiration from xdl_classify_record() assign an id to each addition and deletion such that lines that match for the current --color-moved-ws mode share the same unique id. This reduces the number of hash lookups a little (calculating the ids still involves one hash lookup per line) but the main benefit is that when growing blocks of potentially moved lines we can replace string comparisons which involve chasing a pointer with a simple integer comparison. On a large diff this commit reduces the time to run 'diff --color-moved' by 37% compared to the previous commit and 31% compared to master, for 'diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change' the reduction is 28% compared to the previous commit and 96% compared to master. There is little change in the performance of 'git log --patch' as the diffs are smaller.

2021-12-09diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change: improve hash lookupsLibravatar Phillip Wood1-46/+19
As libxdiff does not have a whitespace flag to ignore the indentation the code for --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change uses XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE and then filters out any hash lookups where there are non-indentation changes. This filtering is inefficient as we have to perform another string comparison. By using the offset data that we have already computed to skip the indentation we can avoid using XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE and safely remove the extra checks which improves the performance by 11% and paves the way for the elimination of string comparisons in the next commit. This change slightly increases the run time of other --color-moved modes. This could be avoided by using different comparison functions for the different modes but after the next two commits there is no measurable benefit in doing so. There is a change in behavior for lines that begin with a form-feed or vertical-tab character. Since b46054b374 ("xdiff: use git-compat-util", 2019-04-11) xdiff does not treat '\f' or '\v' as whitespace characters. This means that lines starting with those characters are never considered to be blank and never match a line that does not start with the same character. After this patch a line matching "^[\f\v\r]*[ \t]*$" is considered to be blank by --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change and lines beginning "^[\f\v\r]*[ \t]*" can match another line if the suffixes match. This changes the output of git show for d18f76dccf ("compat/regex: use the regex engine from gawk for compat", 2010-08-17) as some lines in the pre-image before a moved block that contain '\f' are now considered moved as well as they match a blank line before the moved lines in the post-image. This commit updates one of the tests to reflect this change.

2021-12-09diff --color-moved: stop clearing potential moved blocksLibravatar Phillip Wood1-11/+0
moved_block_clear() was introduced in 74d156f4a1 ("diff --color-moved-ws: fix double free crash", 2018-10-04) to free the memory that was allocated when initializing a potential moved block. However since 21536d077f ("diff --color-moved-ws: modify allow-indentation-change", 2018-11-23) initializing a potential moved block no longer allocates any memory. Up until the last commit we were relying on moved_block_clear() to set the `match` pointer to NULL when a block stopped matching, but since that commit we do not clear a moved block that does not match so it does not make sense to clear them elsewhere.

2021-12-09diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change: simplify and optimizeLibravatar Phillip Wood1-50/+20
If we already have a block of potentially moved lines then as we move down the diff we need to check if the next line of each potentially moved line matches the current line of the diff. The implementation of --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change was needlessly performing this check on all the lines in the diff that matched the current line rather than just the current line. To exacerbate the problem finding all the other lines in the diff that match the current line involves a fuzzy lookup so we were wasting even more time performing a second comparison to filter out the non-matching lines. Fixing this reduces time to run git diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change v2.28.0 v2.29.0 by 93% compared to master and simplifies the code.

2021-12-09diff --color-moved: avoid false short line matches and bad zebra coloringLibravatar Phillip Wood1-6/+11
When marking moved lines it is possible for a block of potential matched lines to extend past a change in sign when there is a sequence of added lines whose text matches the text of a sequence of deleted and added lines. Most of the time either `match` will be NULL or `pmb_advance_or_null()` will fail when the loop encounters a change of sign but there are corner cases where `match` is non-NULL and `pmb_advance_or_null()` successfully advances the moved block despite the change in sign. One consequence of this is highlighting a short line as moved when it should not be. For example -moved line # Correctly highlighted as moved +short line # Wrongly highlighted as moved context +moved line # Correctly highlighted as moved +short line context -short line The other consequence is coloring a moved addition following a moved deletion in the wrong color. In the example below the first "+moved line 3" should be highlighted as newMoved not newMovedAlternate. -moved line 1 # Correctly highlighted as oldMoved -moved line 2 # Correctly highlighted as oldMovedAlternate +moved line 3 # Wrongly highlighted as newMovedAlternate context # Everything else is highlighted correctly +moved line 2 +moved line 3 context +moved line 1 -moved line 3 These false matches are more likely when using --color-moved-ws with the exception of --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change which ties the sign of the current whitespace delta to the sign of the line to avoid this problem. The fix is to check that the sign of the new line being matched is the same as the sign of the line that started the block of potential matches.

2021-12-09diff --color-moved=zebra: fix alternate coloringLibravatar Phillip Wood1-2/+2
b0a2ba4776 ("diff --color-moved=zebra: be stricter with color alternation", 2018-11-23) sought to avoid using the alternate colors unless there are two adjacent moved blocks of the same sign. Unfortunately it contains two bugs that prevented it from fixing the problem properly. Firstly `last_symbol` is reset at the start of each iteration of the loop losing the symbol of the last line and secondly when deciding whether to use the alternate color it should be checking if the current line is the same sign of the last line, not a different sign. The combination of the two errors means that we still use the alternate color when we should do but we also use it when we shouldn't. This is most noticable when using --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change with hunks like -this line gets indented + this line gets indented where the post image is colored with newMovedAlternate rather than newMoved.

2021-11-25run-command API users: use strvec_push(), not argv constructionLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-6/+2
Change a pattern of hardcoding an "argv" array size, populating it and assigning to the "argv" member of "struct child_process" to instead use "strvec_push()" to add data to the "args" member. As noted in the preceding commit this moves us further towards being able to remove the "argv" member in a subsequent commit These callers could have used strvec_pushl(), but moving to strvec_push() makes the diff easier to read, and keeps the arguments aligned as before.

2021-09-27*.[ch] *_INIT macros: use { 0 } for a "zero out" idiomLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+2
In C it isn't required to specify that all members of a struct are zero'd out to 0, NULL or '\0', just providing a "{ 0 }" will accomplish that. Let's also change code that provided N zero'd fields to just provide one, and change e.g. "{ NULL }" to "{ 0 }" for consistency. I.e. even if the first member is a pointer let's use "0" instead of "NULL". The point of using "0" consistently is to pick one, and to not have the reader wonder why we're not using the same pattern everywhere.

2021-09-09diff: ignore sparse paths in diffstatLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+8
The diff_populate_filespec() method is used to describe the diff after a merge operation is complete. In order to avoid expanding a sparse index, the reuse_worktree_file() needs to be adapted to ignore files that are outside of the sparse-checkout cone. The file names and OIDs used for this check come from the merged tree in the case of the ORT strategy, not the index, hence the ability to look into these paths without having already expanded the index. The work done by reuse_worktree_file() is only an optimization, and requires the file being on disk for it to be of any value. Thus, it is safe to exit the method early if we do not expect the file on disk.

2021-07-15rename: bump limit defaults yet againLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
These were last bumped in commit 92c57e5c1d29 (bump rename limit defaults (again), 2011-02-19), and were bumped both because processors had gotten faster, and because people were getting ugly merges that caused problems and reporting it to the mailing list (suggesting that folks were willing to spend more time waiting). Since that time: * Linus has continued recommending kernel folks to set diff.renameLimit=0 (maps to 32767, currently) * Folks with repositories with lots of renames were happy to set merge.renameLimit above 32767, once the code supported that, to get correct cherry-picks * Processors have gotten faster * It has been discovered that the timing methodology used last time probably used too large example files. The last point is probably worth explaining a bit more: * The "average" file size used appears to have been average blob size in the linux kernel history at the time (probably v2.6.25 or something close to it). * Since bigger files are modified more frequently, such a computation weights towards larger files. * Larger files may be more likely to be modified over time, but are not more likely to be renamed -- the mean and median blob size within a tree are a bit higher than the mean and median of blob sizes in the history leading up to that version for the linux kernel. * The mean blob size in v2.6.25 was half the average blob size in history leading to that point * The median blob size in v2.6.25 was about 40% of the mean blob size in v2.6.25. * Since the mean blob size is more than double the median blob size, any file as big as the mean will not be compared to any files of median size or less (because they'd be more than 50% dissimilar). * Since it is the number of files compared that provides the O(n^2) behavior, median-sized files should matter more than mean-sized ones. The combined effect of the above is that the file size used in past calculations was likely about 5x too large. Combine that with a CPU performance improvement of ~30%, and we can increase the limits by a factor of sqrt(5/(1-.3)) = 2.67, while keeping the original stated time limits. Keeping the same approximate time limit probably makes sense for diff.renameLimit (there is no progress feedback in e.g. git log -p), but the experience above suggests merge.renameLimit could be extended significantly. In fact, it probably would make sense to have an unlimited default setting for merge.renameLimit, but that would likely need to be coupled with changes to how progress is displayed. (See https://lore.kernel.org/git/YOx+Ok%2FEYvLqRMzJ@coredump.intra.peff.net/ for details in that area.) For now, let's just bump the approximate time limit from 10s to 1m. (Note: We do not want to use actual time limits, because getting results that depend on how loaded your system is that day feels bad, and because we don't discover that we won't get all the renames until after we've put in a lot of work rather than just upfront telling the user there are too many files involved.) Using the original time limit of 2s for diff.renameLimit, and bumping merge.renameLimit from 10s to 60s, I found the following timings using the simple script at the end of this commit message (on an AWS c5.xlarge which reports as "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8124M CPU @ 3.00GHz"): N Timing 1300 1.995s 7100 59.973s So let's round down to nice even numbers and bump the limits from 400->1000, and from 1000->7000.

The warning when quadratic rename detection was skipped referred to "inexact rename detection". For years, the only linear portion of rename detection was looking for exact renames, so "inexact rename detection" was an accurate way to refer to the quadratic portion of rename detection. However, that changed with commit bd24aa2f97a0 (diffcore-rename: guide inexact rename detection based on basenames, 2021-02-14).

2021-05-11xdiff-interface: replace discard_hunk_line() with a flagLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-3/+4
Remove the dummy discard_hunk_line() function added in 3b40a090fd4 (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines, 2018-11-02) in favor of having a new XDL_EMIT_NO_HUNK_HDR flag, for use along with the two existing and similar XDL_EMIT_* flags. Unlike the recently amended xdiff_emit_line_fn interface which'll be called in a loop in xdl_emit_diff(), the hunk header is only emitted once. It makes more sense to pass this as a flag than provide a dummy callback because that function may be able to skip doing certain work if it knows the caller is doing nothing with the hunk header. It would be possible to do so in the case of -U0 now, but the benefit of doing so is so small that I haven't bothered. But this leaves the door open to that, and more importantly makes the API use more intuitive. The reason we're putting a flag in the gap between 1<<0 and 1<<2 is that the old 1<<1 flag was removed in 907681e940d (xdiff: drop XDL_EMIT_COMMON, 2016-02-23) without re-ordering the remaining flags.

When the -G and --pickaxe-regex options are combined we simply ignore the --pickaxe-regex option. Let's die instead as suggested by our documentation, since -G is always a regex. When --pickaxe-regex was added in d01d8c6782 (Support for pickaxe matching regular expressions, 2006-03-29) only the -S option existed. Then when -G was added in f506b8e8b5 (git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text, 2010-08-23) neither the documentation for --pickaxe-regex was updated accordingly, nor was something like this assertion added. Since 5bc3f0b567 (diffcore-pickaxe doc: document -S and -G properly, 2013-05-31) we've claimed that --pickaxe-regex should only be used with -S, but have silently tolerated combining it with -G, let's die instead.

2021-05-05word diff: handle zero length matchesLibravatar Phillip Wood1-3/+7
If find_word_boundaries() encounters a zero length match (which can be caused by matching a newline or using '*' instead of '+' in the regex) we stop splitting the input into words which generates an inaccurate diff. To fix this increment the start point when there is a zero length match and try a new match. This is safe as posix regular expressions always return the longest available match so a zero length match means there are no longer matches available from the current position. Commit bf82940dbf1 (color-words: enable REG_NEWLINE to help user, 2009-01-17) prevented matching newlines in negated character classes but it is still possible for the user to have an explicit newline match in the regex which could cause a zero length match. One could argue that having explicit newline matches or using '*' rather than '+' are user errors but it seems to be better to work round them than produce inaccurate diffs.

Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros) object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field. Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo. Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to use the null_oid constant.

In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's support it internally with two new options. - "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is no patch for C is shown. - "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C, and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no patch for C is shown. - "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path or the first path that sorts after the specified path. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
