2014-01-17diff_filespec: use only 2 bits for is_binary flagLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The is_binary flag needs only three values: -1, 0, and 1. However, we use a whole 32-bit int for it on most systems (both 32- and 64- bit). Instead, we can mark it to use only 2 bits. On 32-bit systems, this lets it end up as part of the bitfield above (saving 4 bytes). On 64-bit systems, we don't see any change (because the savings end up as padding), but it does leave room for another "free" 32-bit value to be added later.

2014-01-17diff_filespec: reorder is_binary fieldLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The middle of the diff_filespec struct contains a mixture of ints, shorts, and bit-fields, followed by a pointer. On an x86-64 system with an LP64 or LLP64 data model (i.e., most of them), the integers and flags end up being padded out by 41 bits to put the pointer at an 8-byte boundary. After the pointer, we have the "int is_binary" field, which is only 32 bits. We end up wasting another 32 bits to pad the struct size up to a multiple of 64 bits. We can move the is_binary field before the pointer, which lets the compiler store it where we used to have padding. This shrinks the top padding to only 9 bits (from the bit-fields), and eliminates the bottom padding entirely, dropping the struct size from 88 to 80 bytes. On a 32-bit system, there is no benefit, but nor should there be any harm (we only need 4-byte alignment there, so we were already using only 9 bits of padding).

2014-01-17diff_filespec: reorder dirty_submodule macro definitionsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
diff_filespec has a 2-bit "dirty_submodule" field and defines two flags as macros. Originally these were right next to each other, but a new field was accidentally added in between in commit 4682d85. This patch puts the field and its flags back together. Using an enum like: enum { DIRTY_SUBMODULE_UNTRACKED = 1, DIRTY_SUBMODULE_MODIFIED = 2 } dirty_submodule; would be more obvious, but it bloats the structure. Limiting the enum size like: } dirty_submodule : 2; might work, but it is not portable. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We do not want a link to 0{40} object stored anywhere in our objects. * jk/maint-null-in-trees: fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entries do not write null sha1s to on-disk index diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
2012-07-29diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel valueLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when the index is not up-to-date). The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1 directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel value to indicate that it is not. We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree). However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree version of a file instead of treating it as a blob. This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this means passing the flag through several layers, making the code change larger than would be desirable. One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a "--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

2012-07-13Merge branch 'jc/refactor-diff-stdin'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Due to the way "git diff --no-index" is bolted onto by touching the low level code that is shared with the rest of the "git diff" code, even though it has to work in a very different way, any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level incorrectly tried to read from the standard input. This cleans up the no-index codepath further to remove code that reads from the standard input from the core side, which is never necessary when git is running its usual diff operation. * jc/refactor-diff-stdin: diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from the standard input diff-index.c: unify handling of command line paths diff-index.c: do not pretend paths are pathspecs
2012-06-28diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from the standard inputLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Only "diff --no-index -" does. Bolting the logic into the low-level function diff_populate_filespec() was a layering violation from day one. Move populate_from_stdin() function out of the generic diff.c to its only user, diff-index.c. Also make sure "-" from the command line stays a special token "read from the standard input", even if we later decide to sanitize the result from prefix_filename() function in a few obvious ways, e.g. removing unnecessary "./" prefix, duplicated slashes "//" in the middle, etc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-20combine-diff: support format_callbackLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This teaches combine-diff machinery to feed a combined merge to a callback function when DIFF_FORMAT_CALLBACK is specified. So far, format callback functions are not used for anything but 2-way diffs. A callback is given a diff_queue_struct, which is an array of diff_filepair. As its name suggests, a diff_filepair is a _pair_ of diff_filespec that represents a single preimage and a single postimage. Since "diff -c" is to compare N parents with a single merge result and filter out any paths whose result match one (or more) of the parent(s), its output has to be able to represent N preimages and 1 postimage. For this reason, a callback function that inspects a diff_filepair that results from this new infrastructure can and is expected to view the preimage side (i.e. pair->one) as an array of diff_filespec. Each element in the array, except for the last one, is marked with "has_more_entries" bit, so that the same callback function can be used for 2-way diffs and combined diffs.

2010-08-13diff --follow: do call diffcore_std() as necessaryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+0
Usually, diff frontends populate the output queue with filepairs without any rename information and call diffcore_std() to sort the renames out. When --follow is in effect, however, diff-tree family of frontend has a hack that looks like this: diff-tree frontend -> diff_tree_sha1() . populate diff_queued_diff . if --follow is in effect and there is only one change that creates the target path, then -> try_to_follow_renames() -> diff_tree_sha1() with no pathspec but with -C -> diffcore_std() to find renames . if rename is found, tweak diff_queued_diff and put a single filepair that records the found rename there -> diffcore_std() . tweak elements on diff_queued_diff by - rename detection - path ordering - pickaxe filtering We need to skip parts of the second call to diffcore_std() that is related to rename detection, and do so only when try_to_follow_renames() did find a rename. Earlier 1da6175 (Make diffcore_std only can run once before a diff_flush, 2010-05-06) tried to deal with this issue incorrectly; it unconditionally disabled any second call to diffcore_std(). This hopefully fixes the breakage. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-05-07Make diffcore_std only can run once before a diff_flushLibravatar Bo Yang1-0/+2
When file renames/copies detection is turned on, the second diffcore_std will degrade a 'C' pair to a 'R' pair. And this may happen when we run 'git log --follow' with hard copies finding. That is, the try_to_follow_renames() will run diffcore_std to find the copies, and then 'git log' will issue another diffcore_std, which will reduce 'src->rename_used' and recognize this copy as a rename. This is not what we want. So, I think we really don't need to run diffcore_std more than one time. Signed-off-by: Bo Yang <struggleyb.nku@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

And if the HEAD of the submodule is equal to the ref diffed against in the superproject, drop the output which would just show the same SHA1s and no commit message headlines. To achieve that, the dirty_submodule bitfield is expanded to two bits. The output of "git status" inside the submodule is parsed to set the according bits.

2010-01-18Performance optimization for detection of modified submodulesLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+1
In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for each submodule. The information we got from scanning the whole submodule tree the first time can be reused instead. New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(), the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its value is then reused instead of calling is_submodule_modified() again. When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to is_submodule_modified() is not necessary when the submodules HEAD already disagrees with the ref of the superproject, as this alone marks it as modified. To achieve that, get_stat_data() got an extra argument. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-10-18diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binaryLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+6
The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It can say one of three things: 1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not (i.e., diff or !diff) 2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script) 3. this file should use particular funcname patterns (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex) Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses, since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g., an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the file is binary). However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo indicates that the file is definitely text. This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true. This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling code had to know more about whether attributes were false, true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations just by passing back a driver struct. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-10-26copy vs rename detection: avoid unnecessary O(n*m) loopsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
The core rename detection had some rather stupid code to check if a pathname was used by a later modification or rename, which basically walked the whole pathname space for all renames for each rename, in order to tell whether it was a pure rename (no remaining users) or should be considered a copy (other users of the source file remaining). That's really silly, since we can just keep a count of users around, and replace all those complex and expensive loops with just testing that simple counter (but this all depends on the previous commit that shared the diff_filespec data structure by using a separate reference count). Note that the reference count is not the same as the rename count: they behave otherwise rather similarly, but the reference count is tied to the allocation (and decremented at de-allocation, so that when it turns zero we can get rid of the memory), while the rename count is tied to the renames and is decremented when we find a rename (so that when it turns zero we know that it was a rename, not a copy).

2007-10-26Ref-count the filespecs used by diffcoreLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+2
Rather than copy the filespecs when introducing new versions of them (for rename or copy detection), use a refcount and increment the count when reusing the diff_filespec. This avoids unnecessary allocations, but the real reason behind this is a future enhancement: we will want to track shared data across the copy/rename detection. In order to efficiently notice when a filespec is used by a rename, the rename machinery wants to keep track of a rename usage count which is shared across all different users of the filespec.

2007-10-02diffcore-rename: cache file deltasLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
We find rename candidates by computing a fingerprint hash of each file, and then comparing those fingerprints. There are inherently O(n^2) comparisons, so it pays in CPU time to hoist the (rather expensive) computation of the fingerprint out of that loop (or to cache it once we have computed it once). Previously, we didn't keep the filespec information around because then we had the potential to consume a great deal of memory. However, instead of keeping all of the filespec data, we can instead just keep the fingerprint. This patch implements and uses diff_free_filespec_data_large to accomplish that goal. We also have to change estimate_similarity not to needlessly repopulate the filespec data when we already have the hash. Practical tests showed 4.5x speedup for a 10% memory usage increase.

2007-07-07Fix configuration syntax to specify customized hunk header patterns.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This updates the hunk header customization syntax. The special case 'funcname' attribute is gone. You assign the name of the type of contents to path's "diff" attribute as a string value in .gitattributes like this: *.java diff=java *.perl diff=perl *.doc diff=doc If you supply "diff.<name>.funcname" variable via the configuration mechanism (e.g. in $HOME/.gitconfig), the value is used as the regexp set to find the line to use for the hunk header (the variable is called "funcname" because such a line typically is the one that has the name of the function in programming language source text).

This makes"diff -p" hunk headers customizable via gitattributes mechanism. It is based on Johannes's earlier patch that allowed to define a single regexp to be used for everything. The mechanism to arrive at the regexp that is used to define hunk header is the same as other use of gitattributes. You assign an attribute, funcname (because "diff -p" typically uses the name of the function the patch is about as the hunk header), a simple string value. This can be one of the names of built-in pattern (currently, "java" is defined) or a custom pattern name, to be looked up from the configuration file. (in .gitattributes) *.java funcname=java *.perl funcname=perl (in .git/config) [funcname] java = ... # ugly and complicated regexp to override the built-in one. perl = ... # another ugly and complicated regexp to define a new one.

2005-06-05[PATCH] diffcore-break.c: various fixes.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This fixes three bugs in the -B heuristics. - Although it was advertised that the initial break criteria used was the same as what diffcore-rename uses, it was using something different. Instead of using smaller of src and dst size to compare with "edit" size, (insertion and deletion), it was using larger of src and dst, unlike the rename/copy detection logic. This caused the parameter to -B to mean something different from the one to -M and -C. To compensate for this change, the default break score is also changed to match that of the default for rename/copy. - The code would have crashed with division by zero when trying to break an originally empty file. - Contrary to what the comment said, the algorithm was breaking small files, only to later merge them together.

2005-06-03[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+11
As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite" should be done by looking at the amount of original material still left in the result. If you still have the original 97 lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903 lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a 30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line document. You did a complete rewrite in either case. This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates. The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete" a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%) for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and 75% for merge avoidance.

2005-06-03[PATCH] diff: Fix docs and add -O to diff-helper.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings: - clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse"; rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically they are different when -C is involved. - describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was implemented, documented but not described in usage text. Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B), this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between diff.c and diffcore backends).

2005-06-03[PATCH] Tweak count-delta interfaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+0
Make it return copied source and insertion separately, so that later implementation of heuristics can use them more flexibly. This does not change the heuristics implemented in diffcore-rename nor diffcore-break in any way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-01[PATCH] diff: mode bits fixesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+0
The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern. Comparing such a tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644 pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine, which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs. This patch fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a similar way. Without this patch, you will see "fatal error" from diff-tree when you run git-deltafy-script on the core GIT repository itself.

2005-05-30[PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+9
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced. When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch. The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and defaults to 99% if not specified. As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens: The original change looks like this: file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0) file1 --> /dev/null After diffcore-break runs, it would become this: file0 --> /dev/null /dev/null --> file0' file1 --> /dev/null Then diffcore-rename matches them up: file1 --> file0' The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

2005-05-30[PATCH] diff: code clean-up and removal of rename hack.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
A new macro, DIFF_PAIR_RENAME(), is introduced to distinguish a filepair that is a rename/copy (the definition of which is src and dst are different paths, of course). This removes the hack used in the record_rename_pair() to always put a non-zero value in the score field.
