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. While this does not matter much, the next commit will change the coloring to be correct in this case, so lets fix the bug here to make it clear why the output is changing and add a regression test.

I.e. even if the first member is a pointer let's use "0" instead of "NULL".

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.

2021-07-15diff: correct warning message when renameLimit exceededLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
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). Let's instead use the term "exhaustive rename detection" to refer to the quadratic portion. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

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.

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.

2021-02-16diff: --{rotate,skip}-to=<path>Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+21
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>
2021-02-11diff: plug memory leak from regcomp() on {log,diff} -ILibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+12
Fix a memory leak in 296d4a94e7 (diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changes, 2020-10-20) by freeing the memory it allocates in the newly introduced diff_free(). See the previous commit for details on that. This memory leak was intentionally introduced in 296d4a94e7, see the discussion on a previous iteration of it in https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqeelycajx.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com/ At that time freeing the memory was somewhat tedious, but since it isn't anymore with the newly introduced diff_free() let's use it. Let's retain the pattern for diff_free_file() and add a diff_free_ignore_regex(), even though (unlike "diff_free_file") we don't need to call it elsewhere. I think this'll make for more readable code than gradually accumulating a giant diff_free() function, sharing "int i" across unrelated code etc. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-02-11diff: add an API for deferred freeingLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+16
Add a diff_free() function to free anything we may have allocated in the "diff_options" struct, and the ability to make calling it a noop by setting "no_free" in "diff_options". This is required because when e.g. "git diff" is run we'll allocate things in that struct, use the diff machinery once, and then exit. But if we run e.g. "git log -p" we're going to re-use what we allocated across multiple diff_flush() calls, and only want to free things at the end. We've thus ended up with features like the recently added "diff -I"[1] where we'll leak memory. As it turns out it could have simply used the pattern established in 6ea57703f6 (log: prepare log/log-tree to reuse the diffopt.close_file attribute, 2016-06-22). Manually adding more such flags to things log_tree_commit() every time we need to allocate something would be tedious. Let's instead move that fclose() code it to a new diff_free(), in anticipation of freeing more things in that function in follow-up commits. Some functions such as log_tree_commit() need an idiom of optionally retaining a previous "no_free", as they may either free the memory themselves, or their caller may do so. I'm keeping that idiom in log_show_early() for good measure, even though I don't think it's currently called in this manner. It also gets passed an existing "struct rev_info", so future callers may want to set the "no_free" flag. This change is a bit hard to read because while the freeing pattern we're introducing isn't unusual, the "file" member is a special snowflake. We usually don't want to fclose() it. This is because "file" is usually stdout, in which case we don't want to fclose() it. We only want to opt-in to closing it when we e.g. open a file on the filesystem. Thus the opt-in "close_file" flag. So the API in general just needs a "no_free" flag to defer freeing, but the "file" member still needs its "close_file" flag. This is made more confusing because while refactoring this code we could replace some "close_file=0" with "no_free=1", whereas others need to set both flags. This is because there were some cases where an existing "close_file=0" meant "let's defer deallocation", and others where it meant "we don't want to close this file handle at all". 1. 296d4a94e7 (diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changes, 2020-10-20) Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This is inconsistent with what `git describe --dirty` says when run in the submodule directory in that state. Make `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default for `git diff` when there is no configuration variable or command line option, so that the command would not give '-dirty' suffix to a submodule whose working tree has untracked files, to make it consistent with `git describe --dirty` that is run in the submodule working tree. And also make `--ignore-submodules=none` the default for `git status` so that the user doesn't end up deleting a submodule that has uncommitted (untracked) files.

2020-10-20diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changesLibravatar Michał Kępień1-0/+23
Add a new diff option that enables ignoring changes whose all lines (changed, removed, and added) match a given regular expression. This is similar to the -I/--ignore-matching-lines option in standalone diff utilities and can be used e.g. to ignore changes which only affect code comments or to look for unrelated changes in commits containing a large number of automatically applied modifications (e.g. a tree-wide string replacement). The difference between -G/-S and the new -I option is that the latter filters output on a per-change basis. Use the 'ignore' field of xdchange_t for marking a change as ignored or not. Since the same field is used by --ignore-blank-lines, identical hunk emitting rules apply for --ignore-blank-lines and -I. These two options can also be used together in the same git invocation (they are complementary to each other). Rename xdl_mark_ignorable() to xdl_mark_ignorable_lines(), to indicate that it is logically a "sibling" of xdl_mark_ignorable_regex() rather than its "parent".
