2010-07-28xsize_t: check whether we lose bitsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+2
Attempting to mmap (via git-add or similar) a file larger than 4GB on 32-bit Linux systems results in a repository that has only the file modulo 4GB stored, because of truncation of the off_t file size to a size_t for mmap. When xsize_t was introduced to handle this truncation in dc49cd7 (Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_t, 2007-03-06), Shawn even pointed out that it should detect when such a cutoff happens. Make it so.

IRIX 6.5.26m does not define the 'sgi' macro, but it does define an '__sgi' macro. Since later IRIX versions (6.5.29m) define both macros, and since an underscore prefixed macro is preferred anyway, use '__sgi' to detect compilation on SGI IRIX.

2010-04-02Fix _XOPEN_SOURCE problem on DragonFlyLibravatar YONETANI Tomokazu1-1/+2
As on FreeBSD, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 on DragonFly BSD 2.4-RELEASE or later hides symbols from programs, which leads to implicit declaration of functions, making the return value to be assumed an int. On architectures where sizeof(int) < sizeof(void *), this can cause unexpected behaviors or crashes. This change won't affect other OSes unless they define __DragonFly__ macro, or older versions of DragonFly BSD as the current git code doesn't rely on the features only available with _XOPEN_SOURCE set to 600 on DragonFly.

2010-03-28Introduce remove_or_warn functionLibravatar Peter Collingbourne1-0/+5
This patch introduces the remove_or_warn function which is a generalised version of the {unlink,rmdir}_or_warn functions. It takes an additional parameter indicating the mode of the file to be removed. The patch also modifies certain functions to use remove_or_warn where appropriate, and adds a test case for a bug fixed by the use of remove_or_warn.

By providing a hook for the routine responsible for trying to free some memory on malloc failure, we can ensure that the called routine is protected by the appropriate locks when threads are in play.

2009-11-10Introduce usagef() that takes a printf-style formatLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+1
Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing their usage messages. An option is to change usage() itself also be like printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn(). But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives diagnostics depending on the situation. Indeed, the majority of strings given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings. If we were to make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have "%s" as their first argument. So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use it.

2009-09-18Make usage of windows.h lean and meanLibravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-0/+6
Centralize the include of windows.h in git-compat-util.h, turn on WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid including plenty of other header files which is not needed in Git. Also ensure we load winsock2.h first, so we don't load the older winsock definitions at a later stage, since they contain duplicate definitions. When moving windows.h into git-compat-util.h, we need to protect the definition of struct pollfd in mingw.h, since this file is used by both MinGW and MSVC, and the latter defines this struct in winsock2.h. We need to keep the windows.h include in compat/win32.h, since its shared by both MinGW and Cygwin, and we're not touching Cygwin in this commit. The include in git-compat-util.h is protected with an ifdef WIN32, which is not the case when compiling for Cygwin.

2009-07-10git-compat-util.h: adjust for SGI IRIX 6.5Libravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+2
Don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE Do define _SGI_SOURCE Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents many of the common functions and macros from being defined. _Not_ setting _XOPEN_SOURCE, and instead setting _SGI_SOURCE, provides all of the XPG4, XPG5, BSD, POSIX functions and declarations, _BUT_ provides a horribly broken snprintf(). SGI does have a working snprintf(), but it is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined which, as mentioned above, prevents many other common functions and defines. The broken snprintf will be worked around with SNPRINTF_RETURNS_BOGUS in the Makefile in a later patch.

There are many calls to die() that do, or should, report strerror(errno) to indicate how the syscall they guard failed. Introduce a small helper function for this case. Note: - POSIX says vsnprintf can modify errno in some unlikely cases, so we have to use errno early. - We take some care to pass the original format to die_routine(), in case someone wants to call die_errno() with custom format characters.

2009-06-06git-compat-util.h: tweak the way _XOPEN_SOURCE is set on SolarisLibravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+14
On Solaris, when _XOPEN_EXTENDED is set, its header file forces the programs to be XPG4v2, defeating any _XOPEN_SOURCE setting to say we are XPG5 or XPG6. Also on Solaris, XPG6 programs must be compiled with a c99 compiler, while non XPG6 programs must be compiled with a pre-c99 compiler. So when compiling on Solaris, always refrain from setting _XOPEN_EXTENDED, and then set _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 or 500 based on whether a c99 compiler is being used or not.

In git-compat-util.h, we do #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600 #define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 1 unless we are on BSD or SCO. On OpenSolaris (200811), /usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h has this nice table: Feature Test Macro Specification ------------------------------------------------ ------------- _XOPEN_SOURCE XPG3 _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_VERSION = 4 XPG4 _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED = 1 XPG4v2 _XOPEN_SOURCE = 500 XPG5 _XOPEN_SOURCE = 600 (or POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L) XPG6 Later in the same header, compilation with -c99 is made to fail if _XPG6 is not set, like this: #if defined(_STDC_C99) && (defined(__XOPEN_OR_POSIX) && !defined(_XPG6)) #error "Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applications \ and pre-2001 POSIX applications" #elif ... The problem is that they check things in an order that is inconvenient for us. When they see _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, they declare that we are XPG4v2, regardless of the value of _XOPEN_SOURCE.
