2013-12-18diff: let "git diff -O" read orderfile from any file and fail properlyLibravatar Samuel Bronson1-15/+8
The -O flag really shouldn't silently fail to do anything when given a path that it can't read from. However, it should be able to read from un-mmappable files, such as: * pipes/fifos * /dev/null: It's a character device (at least on Linux) * ANY empty file: Quoting Linux mmap(2), "SUSv3 specifies that mmap() should fail if length is 0. However, in kernels before 2.6.12, mmap() succeeded in this case: no mapping was created and the call returned addr. Since kernel 2.6.12, mmap() fails with the error EINVAL for this case." We especially want "-O/dev/null" to work, since we will be documenting it as the way to cancel "diff.orderfile" when we add that. (Note: "-O/dev/null" did have the right effect, since the existing error handling essentially worked out to "silently ignore the orderfile". But this was probably more coincidence than anything else.) So, lets toss all of that logic to get the file mmapped and just use strbuf_read_file() instead, which gives us decent error handling practically for free.

2007-03-07Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_tLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+4
Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4. This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-20simplify inclusion of system header files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-20Remove all void-pointer arithmetic.Libravatar Florian Forster1-1/+1
ANSI C99 doesn't allow void-pointer arithmetic. This patch fixes this in various ways. Usually the strategy that required the least changes was used. Signed-off-by: Florian Forster <octo@verplant.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-12-26avoid asking ?alloc() for zero bytes.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
Avoid asking for zero bytes when that change simplifies overall logic. Later we would change the wrapper to ask for 1 byte on platforms that return NULL for zero byte request. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-07-29[PATCH] mmap error handlingLibravatar Pavel Roskin1-1/+1
I have reviewed all occurrences of mmap() in git and fixed three types of errors/defects: 1) The result is not checked. 2) The file descriptor is closed if mmap() succeeds, but not when it fails. 3) Various casts applied to -1 are used instead of MAP_FAILED, which is specifically defined to check mmap() return value. [jc: This is a second round of Pavel's patch. He fixed up the problem that close() potentially clobbering the errno from mmap, which the first round had.] Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-05-30[PATCH] Add -O<orderfile> option to diff-* brothers.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+122
A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern. Patches that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are output before patches that match a later line, and patches that do not match any glob pattern are output last. A typical orderfile for git project probably should look like this: README Makefile Documentation *.h *.c Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
