2018-07-16hex: switch to using the_hash_algoLibravatar brian m. carlson1-3/+3
Instead of using the GIT_SHA1_* constants, switch to using the_hash_algo to convert object IDs to and from hex format. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-11-01notes: move hex_to_bytes() to hex.c and export itLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+12
Make the function for converting pairs of hexadecimal digits to binary available to other call sites. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-03-26Convert GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ used for allocation to GIT_MAX_HEXSZLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
Since we will likely be introducing a new hash function at some point, and that hash function might be longer than 40 hex characters, use the constant GIT_MAX_HEXSZ, which is designed to be suitable for allocations, instead of GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ. This will ease the transition down the line by distinguishing between places where we need to allocate memory suitable for the largest hash from those where we need to handle the current hash.

2017-02-20hex: introduce parse_oid_hexLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+8
Introduce a function, parse_oid_hex, which parses a hexadecimal object ID and if successful, sets a pointer to just beyond the last character. This allows for simpler, more robust parsing without needing to hard-code integer values throughout the codebase.

2016-10-26hex: make wraparound of the index into ring-buffer explicitLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+2
Overflow is defined for unsigned integers, but not for signed ones. We could make the ring-buffer index in sha1_to_hex() and get_pathname() unsigned to be on the safe side to resolve this, but let's make it explicit that we are wrapping around at whatever the number of elements the ring-buffer has. The compiler is smart enough to turn modulus into bitmask for these codepaths that use ring-buffers of a size that is a power of 2.

Code cleanup. * rs/hex2chr: introduce hex2chr() for converting two hexadecimal digits to a character
2016-09-07introduce hex2chr() for converting two hexadecimal digits to a characterLibravatar René Scharfe1-10/+2
Add and use a helper function that decodes the char value of two hexadecimal digits. It returns a negative number on error, avoids running over the end of the given string and doesn't shift negative values. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-06-28hex: add oid_to_hex_r()Libravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+5
This function works just like sha1_to_hex_r, except that it takes a pointer to struct object_id instead of a pointer to unsigned char. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-09-25add reentrant variants of sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrevLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+9
The sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev functions always write into reusable static buffers. There are a few problems with this: - future calls overwrite our result. This is especially annoying with find_unique_abbrev, which does not have a ring of buffers, so you cannot even printf() a result that has two abbreviated sha1s. - if you want to put the result into another buffer, we often strcpy, which looks suspicious when auditing for overflows. This patch introduces sha1_to_hex_r and find_unique_abbrev_r, which write into a user-provided buffer. Of course this is just punting on the overflow-auditing, as the buffer obviously needs to be GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1 bytes. But it is much easier to audit, since that is a well-known size. We retain the non-reentrant forms, which just become thin wrappers around the reentrant ones. This patch also adds a strbuf variant of find_unique_abbrev, which will be handy in later patches.

2015-03-13define utility functions for object IDsLibravatar brian m. carlson1-3/+13
There are several utility functions (hashcmp and friends) that are used for comparing object IDs (SHA-1 values). Using these functions, which take pointers to unsigned char, with struct object_id requires tiresome access to the sha1 member, which bloats code and violates the desired encapsulation. Provide wrappers around these functions for struct object_id for neater, more maintainable code. Use the new constants to avoid the hard-coded 20s and 40s throughout the original functions. These functions simply call the underlying pointer-to-unsigned-char versions to ensure that any performance improvements will be passed through to the new functions.

Code clean-up. * sb/hex-object-name-is-at-most-41-bytes-long: hex.c: reduce memory footprint of sha1_to_hex static buffers
2015-02-13hex.c: reduce memory footprint of sha1_to_hex static buffersLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+1
41 bytes is the exact number of bytes needed for having the returned hex string represented. 50 seems to be an arbitrary number, such that there are no benefits from alignment to certain address boundaries.

2011-10-05get_sha1_hex(): do not read past a NUL characterLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+9
Previously, get_sha1_hex() would read one character past the end of a null-terminated string whose strlen was an even number less than 40. Although the function correctly returned -1 in these cases, the extra memory access might have been to uninitialized (or even, conceivably, unallocated) memory. Add a check to avoid reading past the end of a string. This problem was discovered by Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> using valgrind.

2010-01-21slim down "git show-index"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+67
As the documentation says, this is primarily for debugging, and in the longer term we should rename it to test-show-index or something. In the meantime, just avoid xmalloc (which slurps in the rest of git), and separating out the trivial hex functions into "hex.o". This results in [torvalds@nehalem git]$ size git-show-index text data bss dec hex filename 222818 2276 112688 337782 52776 git-show-index (before) 5696 624 1264 7584 1da0 git-show-index (after) which is a whole lot better.
