2017-08-16diff: define block by number of alphanumeric charsLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+1
The existing behavior of diff --color-moved=zebra does not define the minimum size of a block at all, instead relying on a heuristic applied later to filter out sets of adjacent moved lines that are shorter than 3 lines long. This can be confusing, because a block could thus be colored as moved at the source but not at the destination (or vice versa), depending on its neighbors. Instead, teach diff that the minimum size of a block is 20 alphanumeric characters, the same heuristic used by "git blame". This allows diff to still exclude uninteresting lines appearing on their own (such as those solely consisting of one or a few closing braces), as was the intention of the adjacent-moved-line heuristic. This requires a change in some tests in that some of their lines are no longer considered to be part of a block, because they are too short.

2017-06-30diff.c: color moved lines differently, plain modeLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+1
Add the 'plain' mode for move detection of code. This omits the checking for adjacent blocks, so it is not as useful. If you have a lot of the same blocks moved in the same patch, the 'Zebra' would end up slow as it is O(n^2) (n is number of same blocks). So this may be useful there and is generally easy to add. Instead be very literal at the move detection, do not skip over short blocks here. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-06-30diff.c: color moved lines differentlyLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+11
When a patch consists mostly of moving blocks of code around, it can be quite tedious to ensure that the blocks are moved verbatim, and not undesirably modified in the move. To that end, color blocks that are moved within the same patch differently. For example (OM, del, add, and NM are different colors): [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OM] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OM] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OM] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NM] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NM] + multiple, [NM] + lines); [NM] +} However adjacent blocks may be problematic. For example, in this potentially malicious patch, the swapping of blocks can be spotted: [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OMA] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OMA] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OMA] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NMA] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NMA] + multiple, [NMA] + lines); [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NMA] +} If the moved code is larger, it is easier to hide some permutation in the code, which is why some alternative coloring is needed. This patch implements the first mode: * basic alternating 'Zebra' mode This conveys all information needed to the user. Defer customization to later patches. First I implemented an alternative design, which would try to fingerprint a line by its neighbors to detect if we are in a block or at the boundary. This idea iss error prone as it inspected each line and its neighboring lines to determine if the line was (a) moved and (b) if was deep inside a hunk by having matching neighboring lines. This is unreliable as the we can construct hunks which have equal neighbors that just exceed the number of lines inspected. (Think of 'AXYZBXYZCXYZD..' with each letter as a line, that is permutated to AXYZCXYZBXYZD..'). Instead this provides a dynamic programming greedy algorithm that finds the largest moved hunk and then has several modes on highlighting bounds. A note on the options '--submodule=diff' and '--color-words/--word-diff': In the conversion to use emit_line in the prior patches both submodules as well as word diff output carefully chose to call emit_line with sign=0. All output with sign=0 is ignored for move detection purposes in this patch, such that no weird looking output will be generated for these cases. This leads to another thought: We could pass on '--color-moved' to submodules such that they color up moved lines for themselves. If we'd do so only line moves within a repository boundary are marked up. It is useful to have moved lines colored, but there are annoying corner cases, such as a single line moved, that is very common. For example in a typical patch of C code, we have closing braces that end statement blocks or functions. While it is technically true that these lines are moved as they show up elsewhere, it is harmful for the review as the reviewers attention is drawn to such a minor side annoyance. For now let's have a simple solution of hardcoding the number of moved lines to be at least 3 before coloring them. Note, that the length is applied across all blocks to find the 'lonely' blocks that pollute new code, but do not interfere with a permutated block where each permutation has less lines than 3.

2017-06-30diff.c: buffer all output if asked toLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+2
Introduce a new option 'emitted_symbols' in the struct diff_options which controls whether all output is buffered up until all output is available. It is set internally in diff.c when necessary. We'll have a new struct 'emitted_string' in diff.c which will be used to buffer each line. The emitted_string will duplicate the memory of the line to buffer as that is easiest to reason about for now. In a future patch we may want to decrease the memory usage by not duplicating all output for buffering but rather we may want to store offsets into the file or in case of hunk descriptions such as the similarity score, we could just store the relevant number and reproduce the text later on. This approach was chosen as a first step because it is quite simple compared to the alternative with less memory footprint. emit_diff_symbol factors out the emission part and depending on the diff_options->emitted_symbols the emission will be performed directly when calling emit_diff_symbol or after the whole process is done, i.e. by buffering we have add the possibility for a second pass over the whole output before doing the actual output. In 6440d34 (2012-03-14, diff: tweak a _copy_ of diff_options with word-diff) we introduced a duplicate diff options struct for word emissions as we may have different regex settings in there. When buffering the output, we need to operate on just one buffer, so we have to copy back the emissions of the word buffer into the main buffer. Unconditionally enable output via buffer in this patch as it yields a great opportunity for testing, i.e. all the diff tests from the test suite pass without having reordering issues (i.e. only parts of the output got buffered, and we forgot to buffer other parts). The test suite passes, which gives confidence that we converted all functions to use emit_string for output.

2017-06-30submodule.c: migrate diff output to use emit_diff_symbolLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+9
As the submodule process is no longer attached to the same file pointer 'o->file' as the superprojects process, there is a different result in color.c::check_auto_color. That is why we need to pass coloring explicitly, such that the submodule coloring decision will be made by the child process processing the submodule. Only DIFF_SYMBOL_SUBMODULE_PIPETHROUGH contains color, the other symbols are for embedding the submodule output into the superprojects output. Remove the colors from the function signatures, as all the coloring decisions will be made either inside the child process or the final emit_diff_symbol, but not in the functions driving the submodule diff.

When comparing the index and the working tree to show which paths are new, and comparing the tree recorded in the HEAD and the index to see if committing the contents recorded in the index would result in an empty commit, we would want the former comparison to say "these are new paths" and the latter to say "there is no change" for paths that are marked as intent-to-add. We made a similar attempt at d95d728a ("diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff", 2015-03-16), which redefined the semantics of these two comparison modes globally, which was a disaster and had to be reverted at 78cc1a54 ("Revert "diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff"", 2015-06-23). To make sure we do not repeat the same mistake, introduce a new internal diffopt option so that this different semantics can be asked for only by callers that ask it, while making sure other unaudited callers will get the same comparison result.

The field must be set to the number of display columns needed to show the output from the output_prefix() callback, which is error prone.

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it. Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently between "git diff" and "git status". This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written scripts will not be affected.

We sometimes use 32-bit unsigned integers as bit-fields. It's fine to access the MSB, because it's unsigned. However, doing so as "1 << 31" is wrong, because the constant "1" is a signed int, and we shift into the sign bit, causing undefined behavior. We can fix this by using "1U" as the constant.

2015-07-09log: add "log.follow" configuration variableLibravatar David Turner1-0/+1
People who work on projects with mostly linear history with frequent whole file renames may want to always use "git log --follow" when inspecting the life of the content that live in a single path. Teach the command to behave as if "--follow" was given from the command line when log.follow configuration variable is set *and* there is one (and only one) path on the command line.

2015-06-11Merge branch 'jk/color-diff-plain-is-context'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
"color.diff.plain" was a misnomer; give it 'color.diff.context' as a more logical synonym. * jk/color-diff-plain-is-context: diff.h: rename DIFF_PLAIN color slot to DIFF_CONTEXT diff: accept color.diff.context as a synonym for "plain"
2015-06-11Merge branch 'jc/diff-ws-error-highlight'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Allow whitespace breakages in deleted and context lines to be also painted in the output. * jc/diff-ws-error-highlight: diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> option diff.c: add emit_del_line() and emit_context_line() t4015: separate common setup and per-test expectation t4015: modernise style
2015-05-27diff.h: rename DIFF_PLAIN color slot to DIFF_CONTEXTLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The latter is a much more descriptive name (and we support "color.diff.context" now). This also updates the name of any local variables which were used to store the color. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-05-26diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Traditionally, we only cared about whitespace breakages introduced in new lines. Some people want to paint whitespace breakages on old lines, too. When they see a whitespace breakage on a new line, they can spot the same kind of whitespace breakage on the corresponding old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now." Introduce `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>` option, that lets them pass a comma separated list of `old`, `new`, and `context` to specify what lines to highlight whitespace errors on.
