2019-08-06parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
The revision option parser recently learned about --end-of-options, but that's not quite enough for all callers. Some of them, like git-log, pick out some options using parse_options(), and then feed the remainder to setup_revisions(). For those cases we need to stop parse_options() from finding more options when it sees --end-of-options, and to retain that option in argv so that setup_revisions() can see it as well. Let's handle this the same as we do "--". We can even piggy-back on the handling of PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH, because any caller that wants to retain one will want to retain the other. I've included two tests here. The "log" test covers "--source", which is one of the options it handles with parse_options(), and would fail before this patch. There's also a test that uses the parse-options helper directly. That confirms that the option is handled correctly even in cases without KEEP_DASHDASH or setup_revisions(). I.e., it is safe to use --end-of-options in place of "--" in other programs. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-05-29parse-options: check empty value in OPT_INTEGER and OPT_ABBREVLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
When parsing the argument for OPT_INTEGER and OPT_ABBREV, we check if we can parse the entire argument to a number with "if (*s)". There is one missing check: if "arg" is empty to begin with, we fail to notice. This could happen with long option by writing like git diff --inter-hunk-context= blah blah Before 16ed6c97cc (diff-parseopt: convert --inter-hunk-context, 2019-03-24), --inter-hunk-context is handled by a custom parser opt_arg() and does detect this correctly. This restores the bahvior for --inter-hunk-context and make sure all other integer options are handled the same (sane) way. For OPT_ABBREV this is new behavior. But it makes it consistent with the rest. PS. OPT_MAGNITUDE has similar code but git_parse_ulong() does detect empty "arg". So it's good to go.

2019-05-07parse-options: don't emit "ambiguous option" for aliasesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-6/+137
Change the option parsing machinery so that e.g. "clone --recurs ..." doesn't error out because "clone" understands both "--recursive" and "--recurse-submodules" to mean the same thing. Initially "clone" just understood --recursive until the --recurses-submodules alias was added in ccdd3da652 ("clone: Add the --recurse-submodules option as alias for --recursive", 2010-11-04). Since bb62e0a99f ("clone: teach --recurse-submodules to optionally take a pathspec", 2017-03-17) the longer form has been promoted to the default. But due to the way the options parsing machinery works this resulted in the rather absurd situation of: $ git clone --recurs [...] error: ambiguous option: recurs (could be --recursive or --recurse-submodules) Add OPT_ALIAS() to express this link between two or more options and use it in git-clone. Multiple aliases of an option could be written as OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias1", "original-name"), OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias2", "original-name"), ... The current implementation is not exactly optimal in this case. But we can optimize it when it becomes a problem. So far we don't even have two aliases of any option. A big chunk of code is actually from Junio C Hamano.

2019-04-15tests: disallow the use of abbreviated options (by default)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+9
Git's command-line parsers support uniquely abbreviated options, e.g. `git init --ba` would automatically expand `--ba` to `--bare`. This is a very convenient feature in every day life for Git users, in particular when tab completion is not available. However, it is not a good idea to rely on that in Git's test suite, as something that is a unique abbreviation of a command line option today might no longer be a unique abbreviation tomorrow. For example, if a future contribution added a new mode `git init --babyproofing` and a previously-introduced test case used the fact that `git init --ba` expanded to `git init --bare`, that future contribution would now have to touch seemingly unrelated tests just to keep the test suite from failing. So let's disallow abbreviated options in the test suite by default. Note: for ease of implementation, this patch really only touches the `parse-options` machinery: more and more hand-rolled option parsers are converted to use that internal API, and more and more scripts are converted to built-ins (naturally using the parse-options API, too), so in practice this catches most issues, and is definitely the biggest bang for the buck.

2019-03-18parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more usefulLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+2
`OPT_ARGUMENT()` is intended to keep the specified long option in `argv` and not to do anything else. However, it would make a lot of sense for the caller to know whether this option was seen at all or not. For example, we want to teach `git difftool` to work outside of any Git worktree, but only when `--no-index` was specified. Note: nothing in Git uses OPT_ARGUMENT(). Even worse, looking through the commit history, one can easily see that nothing even ever used it, apart from the regression test. So not only do we make `OPT_ARGUMENT()` more useful, we are also about to introduce its first real user!

2019-01-27parse-options: allow ll_callback with OPTION_CALLBACKLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-14/+28
OPTION_CALLBACK is much simpler/safer to use, but parse_opt_cb does not allow access to parse_opt_ctx_t, which sometimes is useful (e.g. to obtain the prefix). Extending parse_opt_cb to take parse_opt_cb could result in a lot of changes. Instead let's just allow ll_callback to be used with OPTION_CALLBACK. The user will have to be careful, not to change anything in ctx, or return wrong result code. But that's the price for ll_callback.

2019-01-27parse-options: disable option abbreviation with PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWNLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
parse-options can unambiguously find an abbreviation only if it sees all available options. This is usually the case when you use parse_options(). But there are other callers like blame or shortlog which uses parse_options_start() in combination with a custom option parser, like rev-list. parse-options cannot see all options in this case and will get abbrev detection wrong. Disable it. t7800 needs update because --symlink no longer expands to --symlinks and will be passed down to git-diff, which will not recognize it. I still think this is the correct thing to do. But if --symlink has been actually used in the wild, we would just add an option alias for it.

2019-01-27parse-options: add one-shot modeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-4/+22
This is to help reimplement diff_opt_parse() using parse_options(). The behavior of parse_options() is changed to be the same as the other: - no argv0 in argv[], everything can be processed - argv[] must not be updated, it's the caller's job to do that - return the number of arguments processed - leave all unknown options / non-options alone (this one can already be achieved with PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION) This mode is NOT supposed to stay here for long. It's to help converting diff/rev option parsing. Once that work is over and we can just use parse_options() throughout the code base, this will be deleted.

2018-11-12parse-options: replace opterror() with optname()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-20/+26
Introduce optname() that does the early half of original opterror() to come up with the name of the option reported back to the user, and use it to kill opterror(). The callers of opterror() now directly call error() using the string returned by opterror() instead. There are a few issues with opterror() - it tries to assemble an English sentence from pieces. This is not great for translators because we give them pieces instead of a full sentence. - It's a wrapper around error() and needs some hack to let the compiler know it always returns -1. - Since it takes a string instead of printf format, one call site has to assemble the string manually before passing to it. Using error() directly solves the second and third problems. It kind helps the first problem as well because "%s does foo" does give a translator a full sentence in a sense and let them reorder if needed. But it has limitations, if the subject part has to change based on the rest of the sentence, that language is screwed. This is also why I try to avoid calling optname() when 'flags' is known in advance. Mark of these strings for translation as well while at there.

Parseopt wraps argument help strings in a pair of angular brackets by default, to tell users that they need to replace it with an actual value. This is useful in most cases, because most option arguments are indeed single values of a certain type. The option PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP needs to be used in option definitions with arguments that have multiple parts or are literal strings. Stop adding these angular brackets if special characters are present, as they indicate that we don't deal with a simple placeholder. This simplifies the code a bit and makes defining special options slightly easier. Remove the flag PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP in the cases where the new and more cautious handling suffices.

2018-06-11completion: collapse extra --no-.. optionsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-18/+54
The commands that make use of --git-completion-helper feature could now produce a lot of --no-xxx options that a command can take. This in many case could nearly double the amount of completable options, using more screen estate and also harder to search for the wanted option. This patch attempts to mitigate that by collapsing extra --no- options, the ones that are added by --git-completion-helper and not in original struct option arrays. The "--no-..." option will be displayed in this case to hint about more options, e.g. > ~/w/git $ git clone -- --bare --origin= --branch= --progress --checkout --quiet --config= --recurse-submodules --depth= --reference= --dissociate --reference-if-able= --filter= --separate-git-dir= --hardlinks --shallow-exclude= --ipv4 --shallow-since= --ipv6 --shallow-submodules --jobs= --shared --local --single-branch --mirror --tags --no-... --template= --no-checkout --upload-pack= --no-hardlinks --verbose --no-tags and when you complete it with --no-<tab>, all negative options will be presented: > ~/w/git $ git clone --no- --no-bare --no-quiet --no-branch --no-recurse-submodules --no-checkout --no-reference --no-config --no-reference-if-able --no-depth --no-separate-git-dir --no-dissociate --no-shallow-exclude --no-filter --no-shallow-since --no-hardlinks --no-shallow-submodules --no-ipv4 --no-shared --no-ipv6 --no-single-branch --no-jobs --no-tags --no-local --no-template --no-mirror --no-upload-pack --no-origin --no-verbose --no-progress Corner case: to make sure that people will never accidentally complete the fake option "--no-..." there must be one real --no- in the first complete listing even if it's not from the original struct option.

2017-05-31C style: use standard style for "TRANSLATORS" commentsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+4
Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the example there uses that style. This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18). GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02 it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git comment syntax[1]. Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can make an exception. This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so. There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would happen before xgettext 0.19. Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive", 2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n: git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang already runs a modern xgettext. The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard Git comment syntax anyway.

2017-03-21prefix_filename: return newly allocated stringLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from parse_chunk()). Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is empty (and we could just return the original file pointer). That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_ allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about performance is questionable anyway). The downside is that the callers need to remember to free() the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate. I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases, though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any situation.

2017-03-21prefix_filename: drop length parameterLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL prefix). In a handful of cases we had the length already without calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

2016-12-14parse-options: print "fatal:" before usage_msg_opt()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Programs may use usage_msg_opt() to print a brief message followed by the program usage, and then exit. The message isn't prefixed at all, though, so it doesn't match our usual error output and is easy to overlook: $ git clone 1 2 3 Too many arguments. usage: git clone [<options>] [--] <repo> [<dir>] -v, --verbose be more verbose -q, --quiet be more quiet --progress force progress reporting -n, --no-checkout don't create a checkout --bare create a bare repository [...and so on for another 31 lines...] It looks especially bad when the message starts with an option, like: $ git replace -e -e needs exactly one argument usage: git replace [-f] <object> <replacement> or: git replace [-f] --edit <object> [...etc...] Let's put our usual "fatal:" prefix in front of it.

2016-05-05parse-options.c: make OPTION_COUNTUP respect "unspecified" valuesLibravatar Pranit Bauva1-0/+2
OPT_COUNTUP() merely increments the counter upon --option, and resets it to 0 upon --no-option, which means that there is no "unspecified" value with which a client can initialize the counter to determine whether or not --[no]-option was seen at all. Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last. This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because they all use the initial value of 0 (or more). Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the initial value of the variable is not negative. To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to "unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior with all sets of values.

2015-11-20parse-options: allow -h as a short optionLibravatar René Scharfe1-5/+10
Let callers provide their own handler for the short option -h even without the flag PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, but call the internal handler (showing usage information) if that is the only parameter. Implement the first part by checking for -h only if parse_short_opt() can't find it and returns -2. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2015-06-22parse-options: move unsigned long option parsing out of pack-objects.cLibravatar Charles Bailey1-0/+17
The unsigned long option parsing (including 'k'/'m'/'g' suffix parsing) is more widely applicable. Add support for OPT_MAGNITUDE to parse-options.h and change pack-objects.c use this support. The error behavior on parse errors follows that of OPT_INTEGER. The name of the option that failed to parse is reported with a brief message describing the expect format for the option argument and then the full usage message for the command invoked. This differs from the previous behavior for OPT_ULONG used in pack-objects for --max-pack-size and --window-memory which used to display the value supplied in the error message and did not display the full usage message.

2014-09-04parse-options: detect attempt to add a duplicate short option nameLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+13
It is easy to overlook an already assigned single-letter option name and try to use it for a new one. Help the developer to catch it before such a mistake escapes the lab. This retroactively forbids any short option name (which is defined to be of type "int") outside the ASCII printable range. We might want to do one of two things: - tighten the type of short_name member to 'char', and further update optbug() to protect it against doing "'%c'" on a funny value, e.g. negative or above 127. - drop the check (even the "duplicate" check) for an option whose short_name is either negative or above 255, to allow clever folks to take advantage of the fact that such a short_name cannot be parsed from the command line and the member can be used to store some extra information.

2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+9
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
