* jk/commit-dates-parsing-fix: t4212: loosen far-in-future test for AIX date: recognize bogus FreeBSD gmtime output
2014-04-01date: recognize bogus FreeBSD gmtime outputLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
Most gmtime implementations return a NULL value when they encounter an error (and this behavior is specified by ANSI C and POSIX). FreeBSD's implementation, however, will simply leave the "struct tm" untouched. Let's also recognize this and convert it to a NULL (with this patch, t4212 should pass on FreeBSD).

2013-12-05strbuf: introduce starts_with() and ends_with()Libravatar Christian Couder1-0/+2
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() share the common "cmp" suffix that typically are used to name functions that can be used for ordering, but they can't, because they are not antisymmetric: prefixcmp("foo", "foobar") < 0 prefixcmp("foobar", "foo") == 0 We in fact do not use these functions for ordering. Replace them with functions that just check for equality. Add starts_with() and end_with() that will be used to replace prefixcmp() and suffixcmp(), respectively, as the first step. These are named after corresponding functions/methods in programming languages, like Java, Python and Ruby. In vcs-svn/fast_export.c, there was already an ends_with() function that did the same thing. Let's use the new one instead while at it.

Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some time ago, and it started biting us in places.

2013-08-02Don't close pack fd when free'ing pack windowsLibravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+1
Now that close_one_pack() has been introduced to handle file descriptor pressure, it is not strictly necessary to close the pack file descriptor in unuse_one_window() when we're under memory pressure. Jeff King provided a justification for leaving the pack file open: If you close packfile descriptors, you can run into racy situations where somebody else is repacking and deleting packs, and they go away while you are trying to access them. If you keep a descriptor open, you're fine; they last to the end of the process. If you don't, then they disappear from under you. For normal object access, this isn't that big a deal; we just rescan the packs and retry. But if you are packing yourself (e.g., because you are a pack-objects started by upload-pack for a clone or fetch), it's much harder to recover (and we print some warnings).

2013-07-18cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementationLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-3/+0
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008) added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions. Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables. Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8, 79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0. In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

2013-05-08mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVELibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+2
Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin. On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive. Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers. Best to rely on a new git-specific symbol GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE instead, defined as follows: #if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__) # define GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE #endif After this change, it should be possible to drop the CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting without any negative effect.

2013-04-16usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checksLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When any git code calls die or die_errno, we use a counter to detect recursion into the die functions from any of the helper functions. However, such a simple counter is not good enough for threaded programs, which may call die from a sub-thread, killing only the sub-thread (but incrementing the counter for everyone). Rather than try to deal with threads ourselves here, let's just allow callers to plug in their own recursion-detection function. This is similar to how we handle the die routine (the caller plugs in a die routine which may kill only the sub-thread).

2013-04-15config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOMELibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files, 2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been minimal. Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root", creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems: 1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are not caught. This patch is of type (3). Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all. An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private. This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors), nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems other than permissions.

2013-03-25Make core.sharedRepository work under cygwin 1.7Libravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+1
When core.sharedRepository is used, set_shared_perm() in path.c needs lstat() to return the correct POSIX permissions. The default for cygwin is core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks = false, which means that the fast implementation in do_stat() is used instead of lstat(). lstat() under cygwin uses the Windows security model to implement POSIX-like permissions. The user, group or everyone bits can be set individually. do_stat() simplifes the file permission bits, and may return a wrong value. The read-only attribute of a file is used to calculate the permissions, resulting in either rw-r--r-- or r--r--r-- One effect of the simplified do_stat() is that t1301 fails. Add a function cygwin_get_st_mode_bits() which returns the POSIX permissions. When not compiling for cygwin, true_mode_bits() in path.c is used. Side note: t1301 passes under cygwin 1.5. The "user write" bit is synchronized with the "read only" attribute of a file: $ chmod 444 x $ attrib x A R C:\temp\pt\x cygwin 1.7 would show A C:\temp\pt\x Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Commit a469a10 wraps some error calls in macros to give the compiler a chance to do more static analysis on their constant -1 return value. We limit the use of these macros to __GNUC__, since gcc is the primary beneficiary of the new information, and because we use GNU features for handling variadic macros. However, clang also defines __GNUC__, but generates warnings with -Wunused-value when these macros are used in a void context, because the constant "-1" ends up being useless. Gcc does not complain about this case (though it is unclear if it is because it is smart enough to see what we are doing, or too dumb to realize that the -1 is unused). We can squelch the warning by just disabling these macros when clang is in use.

For example, with two functions like this: int get_foo(int *foo) { if (something_that_might_fail() < 0) return error("unable to get foo"); *foo = 0; return 0; } void some_fun(void) { int foo; if (get_foo(&foo) < 0) return -1; printf("foo is %d\n", foo); } If get_foo() is not inlined, then when compiling some_fun, gcc sees only that a pointer to the local variable is passed, and must assume that it is an out parameter that is initialized after get_foo returns. However, when get_foo() is inlined, the compiler may look at all of the code together and see that some code paths in get_foo() do not initialize the variable. As a result, it prints a warning. But what the compiler can't see is that error() always returns -1, and therefore we know that either we return early from some_fun, or foo ends up initialized, and the code is safe. The warning is a false positive. If we can make the compiler aware that error() will always return -1, it can do a better job of analysis. The simplest method would be to inline the error() function. However, this doesn't work, because gcc will not inline a variadc function. We can work around this by defining a macro. This relies on two gcc extensions: 1. Variadic macros (these are present in C99, but we do not rely on that). 2. Gcc treats the "##" paste operator specially between a comma and __VA_ARGS__, which lets our variadic macro work even if no format parameters are passed to error(). Since we are using these extra features, we hide the macro behind an #ifdef. This is OK, though, because our goal was just to help gcc.

2012-12-15Generalize the inclusion of strings.hLibravatar David Michael1-1/+1
The header strings.h was formerly only included for HP NonStop (aka Tandem) to define strcasecmp, but another platform requiring this inclusion has been found. The build system will now include the file based on its presence determined by configure. Signed-off-by: David Michael <fedora.dm0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
