2016-07-15t0006: skip "far in the future" test when unsigned long is not long enoughLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs. On 32-bit platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future". While we can fix this issue properly by replacing unsigned long with a larger type, we want to be a bit more conservative and just skip those tests on the maint track.

2015-05-25each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameterLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+3
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid" parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1". To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called "each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter(). This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple, mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref" family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

2014-06-30use strip_suffix instead of ends_with in simple casesLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
When stripping a suffix like: if (ends_with(str, "foo")) buf = xmemdupz(str, strlen(str) - 3); we can instead use strip_suffix to avoid the constant 3, which must match the literal "foo" (we sometimes use strlen("foo") instead, but that means we are repeating ourselves). The example above becomes: if (strip_suffix(str, "foo", &len)) buf = xmemdupz(str, len); This also saves a strlen(), since we calculate the string length when detecting the suffix. Note that in some cases we also switch from xstrndup to xmemdupz, which saves a further strlen call. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-30replace has_extension with ends_withLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
These two are almost the same function, with the exception that has_extension only matches if there is content before the suffix. So ends_with(".exe", ".exe") is true, but has_extension would not be. This distinction does not matter to any of the callers, though, and we can just replace uses of has_extension with ends_with. We prefer the "ends_with" name because it is more generic, and there is nothing about the function that requires it to be used for file extensions.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with strlen, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += strlen("bar"); This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the string (and there is no compiler check that we didn't make a typo in one of the strings).

2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbersLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string.

2013-07-18cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementationLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-4/+1
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.

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.

2011-06-16help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwinLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+4
Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs script. The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional merge strategy programs. Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat() may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables. We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on cygwin with core.filemode set to false. Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set. In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section, which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would set the executable bit in the file mode.) Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
