2015-11-20parse-options: allow -h as a short optionLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+1
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/+3
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.

2014-05-06let clang use the constant-return error() macroLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Commit e208f9c converted error() into a macro to make its constant return value more apparent to calling code. Commit 5ded807 prevents us using this macro with clang, since clang's -Wunused-value is smart enough to realize that the constant "-1" is useless in some contexts. However, since the last commit puts the constant behind an inline function call, this is enough to prevent the -Wunused-value warning on both modern gcc and clang. So we can now re-enable the macro when compiling with clang. Tested with clang 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-05-06inline constant return from error() functionLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Commit e208f9c introduced a macro to turn error() calls into: (error(), -1) to make the constant return value more visible to the calling code (and thus let the compiler make better decisions about the code). This works well for code like: return error(...); but the "-1" is superfluous in code that just calls error() without caring about the return value. In older versions of gcc, that was fine, but gcc 4.9 complains with -Wunused-value. We can work around this by encapsulating the constant return value in a static inline function, as gcc specifically avoids complaining about unused function returns unless the function has been specifically marked with the warn_unused_result attribute. We also use the same trick for config_error_nonbool and opterror, which learned the same error technique in a469a10.

Because it is more common for the command line descriptions to use dashed-multi-words, you do not even want to use spaces in these places. Rephrase the documentation to avoid this strangeness.

a469a1019352b8ef (silence some -Wuninitialized false positives; 2012-12-15) triggered "unused value" warnings when the return value of opterror() and several other error-related functions was not used. 5ded807f7c0be10e (fix clang -Wunused-value warnings for error functions; 2013-01-16) applied a fix by adding #if !defined(__clang__) in cache.h and git-compat-util.h, but misspelled it as #if !defined(clang) in parse-options.h. Fix this. This mistake went unnoticed because existing callers of opterror() utilize its return value. 1158826394e162c5 (parse-options: add OPT_CMDMODE(); 2013-07-30), however, adds a new invocation of opterror() which ignores the return value, thus triggering the "unused value" warning.

2013-08-05Remove deprecated OPTION_BOOLEAN for parsing argumentsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-3/+2
As of b04ba2bb4 OPTION_BOOLEAN was deprecated. This commit removes all occurrences of OPTION_BOOLEAN. In b04ba2bb4 Junio suggested to replace it with either OPTION_SET_INT or OPTION_COUNTUP instead. However a pattern, which occurred often with the OPTION_BOOLEAN was a hidden boolean parameter. So I defined OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL as an additional possible parse option in parse-options.h to make life easy. The OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL was used in checkout, clone, commit, show-ref. The only exception, where there was need to fiddle with OPTION_SET_INT was log and notes. However in these two files there is also a pattern, so we could think of introducing OPT_NONEG_BOOL.

2013-01-16fix clang -Wunused-value warnings for error functionsLibravatar Max Horn1-1/+1
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.

2012-12-15silence some -Wuninitialized false positivesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and provide a standardized message text. Like error(), they always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings. One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the header file so that the compiler can see that they always return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g., it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders our change pointless. Instead, let's follow the same route we did with error() in the last patch, and define a macro that makes the constant return value obvious to the compiler.

2011-09-27parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEANLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+8
It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be used in this way: int option = -1; /* unspecified */ struct option options[] = { OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "option", &option, "set option"), OPT_END() }; parse_options(ac, av, prefix, options, usage, 0); if (option < 0) ... do the default thing ... else if (!option) ... --no-option was given ... else ... --option was given ... to easily tell three cases apart: - There is no mention of the `--option` on the command line; - The variable is positively set with `--option`; or - The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`. Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option` is given. As a first step to remedy this, introduce a true boolean OPT_BOOL(), and rename OPT_BOOLEAN() to OPT_COUNTUP(). To help transitioning, OPT_BOOLEAN and OPTION_BOOLEAN are defined as deprecated synonyms to OPT_COUNTUP and OPTION_COUNTUP respectively. This is what db7244b (parse-options new features., 2007-11-07) from four years ago started by marking OPTION_BOOLEAN as "INCR would have been a better name". Some existing users do depend on the count-up semantics; for example, users of OPT__VERBOSE() could use it to raise the verbosity level with repeated use of `-v` on the command line, but they probably should be rewritten to use OPT__VERBOSITY() instead these days. I suspect that some users of OPT__FORCE() may also use it to implement different level of forcibleness but I didn't check. On top of this patch, here are the remaining clean-up tasks that other people can help: - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT_BOOLEAN"; trace all uses of the value that is set to the underlying variable, and if it can proven that the variable is only used as a boolean, replace it with OPT_BOOL(). If the caller does depend on the count-up semantics, replace it with OPT_COUNTUP() instead. - Same for OPTION_BOOLEAN; replace it with OPTION_SET_INT and arrange to set 1 to the variable for a true boolean, and otherwise replace it with OPTION_COUNTUP. - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT__VERBOSE -e OPT__QUIET" and see if they can be replaced with OPT__VERBOSITY().

2010-12-07parse-options: allow git commands to invent new option typesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+7
parse-options provides a variety of option behaviors, including OPTION_CALLBACK, which should take care of just about any sane behavior. All supported behaviors obey the following constraint: A --foo option can only accept (and base its behavior on) one argument, which would be the following command-line argument in the "unsticked" form. Alas, some existing git commands have options that do not obey that constraint. For example, update-index --cacheinfo takes three arguments, and update-index --resolve takes all later parameters as arguments. Introduces an OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK backdoor to parse-options so such option types can be supported without tempting inventors of other commands through mention in the public API. Commands can set the callback field to a function accepting three arguments: the option parsing context, the option itself, and a flag indicating whether the the option was negated. When the option is encountered, that function is called to take over from get_value(). The return value should be zero for success, -1 for usage errors. Thanks to Stephen Boyd for API guidance.
