2007-09-18Drop strbuf's 'eof' marker, and make read_line a first class citizen.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-2/+2
read_line is now strbuf_getline, and is a first class citizen, it returns 0 when reading a line worked, EOF else. The ->eof marker was used non-locally by fast-import.c, mimic the same behaviour using a static int in "read_next_command", that now returns -1 on EOF, and avoids to call strbuf_getline when it's in EOF state. Also no longer automagically strbuf_release the buffer, it's counter intuitive and breaks fast-import in a very subtle way. Note: being at EOF implies that command_buf.len == 0.

2007-09-10Strbuf API extensions and fixes.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-1/+1
* Add strbuf_rtrim to remove trailing spaces. * Add strbuf_insert to insert data at a given position. * Off-by one fix in strbuf_addf: strbuf_avail() does not counts the final \0 so the overflow test for snprintf is the strict comparison. This is not critical as the growth mechanism chosen will always allocate _more_ memory than asked, so the second test will not fail. It's some kind of miracle though. * Add size extension hints for strbuf_init and strbuf_read. If 0, default applies, else: + initial buffer has the given size for strbuf_init. + first growth checks it has at least this size rather than the default 8192.

2007-03-21Initialize tree descriptors with a helper function rather than by hand.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+1
This removes slightly more lines than it adds, but the real reason for doing this is that future optimizations will require more setup of the tree descriptor, and so we want to do it in one place. Also renamed the "desc.buf" field to "desc.buffer" just to trigger compiler errors for old-style manual initializations, making sure I didn't miss anything.

2006-12-20simplify inclusion of system header files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
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>

2006-09-20Add callback data to for_each_ref() family.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family of functions. It allows the callers to specify a callback data pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static variables to communicate with the callback funciton. The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *) and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void pointer as parameters. The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and builtin-pack-refs.c as an example. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-02Replace uses of strdup with xstrdup.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-2/+2
Like xmalloc and xrealloc xstrdup dies with a useful message if the native strdup() implementation returns NULL rather than a valid pointer. I just tried to use xstrdup in new code and found it to be missing. However I expected it to be present as xmalloc and xrealloc are already commonly used throughout the code.

2006-08-23Convert memcpy(a,b,20) to hashcpy(a,b).Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+1
This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion. A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char* and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*. [jc: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet.

2006-07-12Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-4/+4
This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency. Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings" entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different integer enumeration.

2006-06-17Shrink "struct object" a bitLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-8/+6
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.

2006-06-06ref-log: style fixes.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+4
A few style fixes to get the code in line with the rest. - asterisk to make a type a pointer to something goes in front of the variable, not at the end of the base type. E.g. a pointer to an integer is "int *ip", not "int* ip". - open parenthesis for function parameter list, unlike syntactic constructs, comes immediately after the function name. E.g. "if (foo) bar();" not "if(foo) bar ();". - "else" does not come on the same line as the closing brace of corresponding "if". The style is mostly a matter of personal taste, and people may disagree, but consistency is important. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-06-02fetch.c: do not call process_tree() from process_tree().Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+10
This function reads a freshly fetched tree object, and schedules the objects pointed by it for further fetching, so doing lookup_tree() and process_tree() recursively from there does not make much sense. We need to use process() on it to make sure we fetch it first, and leave the recursive processing to later stages. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-05-30tree_entry(): new tree-walking helper functionLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-11/+5
This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()". It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean "true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree. This allows tree traversal with struct tree_desc desc; struct name_entry entry; desc.buf = tree->buffer; desc.size = tree->size; while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) { ... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ... } which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less error prone too. [ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once. Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since it's returned as part of the name_entry structure. However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects --all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no longer the issue any more. ] NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface. We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.

2006-05-29Remove "tree->entries" tree-entry list from tree parserLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-5/+11
Instead, just use the tree buffer directly, and use the tree-walk infrastructure to walk the buffers instead of the tree-entry list. The tree-entry list is inefficient, and generates tons of small allocations for no good reason. The tree-walk infrastructure is generally no harder to use than following a linked list, and allows us to do most tree parsing in-place. Some programs still use the old tree-entry lists, and are a bit painful to convert without major surgery. For them we have a helper function that creates a temporary tree-entry list on demand.

2005-09-22[PATCH] fetch.c: Remove call to parse_object() from process()Libravatar Sergey Vlasov1-1/+0
The call to parse_object() in process() is not actually needed - if the object type is unknown, parse_object() will be called by loop(); if the type is known, the object will be parsed by the appropriate process_*() function. After this change blobs which exist locally are no longer parsed, which gives about 2x CPU usage improvement; the downside is that there will be no warnings for existing corrupted blobs, but detecting such corruption is the job of git-fsck-objects, not the fetch programs. Newly fetched objects are still checked for corruption in http-fetch.c and ssh-fetch.c (local-fetch.c does not seem to do it, but the removed parse_object() call would not be reached for new objects anyway).

2005-09-22[PATCH] fetch.c: Make process() look at each object only onceLibravatar Sergey Vlasov1-0/+5
The process() function is very often called multiple times for the same object (because lots of trees refer to the same blobs), but did not have a fast check for this, therefore a lot of useless calls to has_sha1_file() and parse_object() were made before discovering that nothing needs to be done. This patch adds the SEEN flag which is used in process() to make it look at each object only once. When testing git-local-fetch on the repository of GIT, this gives a 14x improvement in CPU usage (mainly because the redundant calls to parse_object() are now avoided - parse_object() always unpacks and parses the object data, even if it was already parsed before).

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean.
