2017-05-08Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-2/+2
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die, lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take struct object_id arguments. Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *, leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface. parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

2015-08-10prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous casesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other calls. None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're worth converting away from git_path because: 1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases. 2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it hard to tell whether they're safe or not. The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must remember to free the result. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-12-01path.c: make get_pathname() call sites return const char *Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+3
Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory. After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never write beyond that. Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all. This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const" conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

2014-10-30get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flagsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a parameter, but in practice a very few callers can afford to do so (namely, "git merge-base"), as they need to compute merge base in preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see the object without contaminate flags. Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end. Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the object flags. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-10-15refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags fieldLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-1/+1
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.

2014-06-13commit: record buffer length in cacheLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the cached version attached to the commit, rather than re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no indication of the original length. For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to avoid malicious trickery. This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with some further refactoring we could).

Each of these sites assumes that commit->buffer is valid. Since they would segfault if this was not the case, they are likely to be correct in practice.

2014-06-12replace dangerous uses of strbuf_attachLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+1
It is not a good idea to strbuf_attach an arbitrary pointer just because a function you are calling wants a strbuf. Attaching implies a transfer of memory ownership; if anyone were to modify or release the resulting strbuf, we would free() the pointer, leading to possible problems: 1. Other users of the original pointer might access freed memory. 2. The pointer might not be the start of a malloc'd area, so calling free() on it in the first place would be wrong. In the two cases modified here, we are fortunate that nobody touches the strbuf once it is attached, but it is an accident waiting to happen. Since the previous commit, commit_tree and friends take a pointer/buf pair, so we can just do away with the strbufs entirely.

2014-06-12commit_tree: take a pointer/len pair rather than a const strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about memory ownership). This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some did not. Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account. This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error messages that could never be triggered anyway. Note that the function can still die().

2012-03-15notes-merge: Don't remove .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE; it may be the user's cwdLibravatar Johan Herland1-4/+9
When a manual notes merge is committed or aborted, we need to remove the temporary worktree at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. However, removing the entire directory is not good if the user ran the 'git notes merge --commit/--abort' from within that directory. On Windows, the directory removal would simply fail, while on POSIX systems, users would suddenly find themselves in an invalid current directory. Therefore, instead of deleting the entire directory, we delete everything _within_ the directory, and leave the (empty) directory in place. This would cause a subsequent notes merge to abort, complaining about a previous - unfinished - notes merge (due to the presence of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE), so we also need to adjust this check to only trigger when .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is non-empty. Finally, adjust the t3310 manual notes merge testcases to correctly handle the existence of an empty .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory.

2012-03-15notes-merge: use opendir/readdir instead of using read_directory()Libravatar Johan Herland1-20/+30
notes_merge_commit() only needs to list all entries (non-recursively) under a directory, which can be easily accomplished with opendir/readdir and would be more lightweight than read_directory(). read_directory() is designed to list paths inside a working directory. Using it outside of its scope may lead to undesired effects. Apparently, one of the undesired effects of read_directory() is that it doesn't deal with being given absolute paths. This creates problems for notes_merge_commit() when git_path() returns an absolute path, which happens when the current working directory is in a subdirectory of the .git directory.

The macro is variadic, which breaks support for pre-C99 compilers, and it hides an "if", which can make code hard to understand on first reading if some arguments have side-effects. The OUTPUT macro seems to have been inspired by the "output" function from merge-recursive. But that function in merge-recursive exists to indent output based on the level of recursion and there is no similar justification for such a function in "notes merge".

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens, the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not. Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref() calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

If we place it at the end of the log message, we would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block with an option. - Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message). - The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature block would look like. - When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.

* mh/maint-notes-merge-pathbuf-fix: notes_merge_commit(): do not pass temporary buffer to other function
2011-10-05Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argumentLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+3
Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and "refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other. Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.
