2015-06-29convert "enum date_mode" into a structLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+15
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the date_mode enum into a struct. Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}" constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the enum labels as constants, like: show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL); Ideally we could say: show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL }); but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an actual address. Our options are basically: 1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }" definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch statement). 2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822", "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness is defined in one place. 3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant. But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not matter. This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep the size of the callers sane.

2014-10-14color_parse: do not mention variable name in error messageLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
Originally the color-parsing function was used only for config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so that the die() message could be something like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain' These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting error messages are a little confusing: $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format' $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line' This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the value, and then return an error code. Config callers can then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom message. After this patch these three cases now look like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse --pretty format $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse default color value Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-08-29pretty: provide a strict ISO 8601 date formatLibravatar Beat Bolli1-1/+4
Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601 standard due to small differences, and it cannot be parsed by ISO 8601-only parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains. The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways: - a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter - a space between time and time zone - no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and author dates. Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add '--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

2014-08-27commit: provide a function to find a header in a bufferLibravatar Jeff King1-27/+6
Usually when we parse a commit, we read it line by line and handle each individual line (e.g., parse_commit and parse_commit_header). Sometimes, however, we only care about extracting a single header. Code in this situation is stuck doing an ad-hoc parse of the commit buffer. Let's provide a reusable function to locate a header within the commit. The code is modeled after pretty.c's get_header, which is used to extract the encoding. Since some callers may not have the "struct commit" to go along with the buffer, we drop that parameter. The only thing lost is a warning for truncated commits, but that's OK. This shouldn't happen in practice, and even if it does, there's no particular reason that this function needs to complain about it. It either finds the header it was asked for, or it doesn't (and in the latter case, the caller will typically complain).

2014-07-30pretty: make empty userformats truly emptyLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
If the user provides an empty format with "--format=", we end up putting in extra whitespace that the user cannot prevent. This comes from two places: 1. If the format is missing a terminating newline, we add one automatically. This makes sense for --format=%h, but not for a truly empty format. 2. We add an extra newline between the pretty-printed format and a diff or diffstat. If the format is empty, there's no point in doing so if there's nothing to separate.

2014-06-13commit: record buffer length in cacheLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
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).

2014-06-13convert logmsg_reencode to get_commit_bufferLibravatar Jeff King1-29/+11
Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary. However, I split its conversion out into its own commit because it's a bit more complex. We return either: 1. The original commit->buffer 2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file 3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above). while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as possible. Callers currently free the result with logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3). However, since the end result is to free() anything except (1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the rules.

2014-05-21pretty.c: format string with truncate respects logOutputEncodingLibravatar Alexey Shumkin1-1/+6
Pretty format string %<(N,[ml]trunc)>%s truncates subject to a given length with an appropriate padding. This works for non-ASCII texts when i18n.logOutputEncoding is UTF-8 only (independently of a printed commit message encoding) but does not work when i18n.logOutputEncoding is NOT UTF-8. In 7e77df3 (pretty: two phase conversion for non utf-8 commits, 2013-04-19) 'format_commit_item' function assumes commit message to be in UTF-8. And that was so until ecaee80 (pretty: --format output should honor logOutputEncoding, 2013-06-26) where conversion to logOutputEncoding was added before calling 'format_commit_message'. Correct this by converting a commit message to UTF-8 first (as it assumed in 7e77df3 (pretty: two phase conversion for non utf-8 commits, 2013-04-19)). Only after that convert a commit message to an actual logOutputEncoding.

Commit 1dca155fe3fa (log: handle integer overflow in timestamps, 2014-02-24) tried to catch integer overflow coming from strtol() on the timezone field by comparing against LONG_MIN/LONG_MAX. However, the intermediate "tz" variable is an "int", which means it can never be LONG_MAX on LP64 systems; we would truncate the output from strtol before the comparison. Clang's -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare notices this and rightly complains. Let's instead store the result of strtol in a long, and then compare it against INT_MIN/INT_MAX. This will catch overflow from strtol, and also overflow when we pass the result as an int to show_date.

2014-02-24log: handle integer overflow in timestampsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+8
If an ident line has a ridiculous date value like (2^64)+1, we currently just pass ULONG_MAX along to the date code, which can produce nonsensical dates. On systems with a signed long time_t (e.g., 64-bit glibc systems), this actually doesn't end up too bad. The ULONG_MAX is converted to -1, we apply the timezone field to that, and the result ends up somewhere between Dec 31, 1969 and Jan 1, 1970. However, there is still a few good reasons to detect the overflow explicitly: 1. On systems where "unsigned long" is smaller than time_t, we get a nonsensical date in the future. 2. Even where it would produce "Dec 31, 1969", it's easier to recognize "midnight Jan 1" as a consistent sentinel value for "we could not parse this". 3. Values which do not overflow strtoul but do overflow a signed time_t produce nonsensical values in the past. For example, on a 64-bit system with a signed long time_t, a timestamp of 18446744073000000000 produces a date in 1947. We also recognize overflow in the timezone field, which could produce nonsensical results. In this case we show the parsed date, but in UTC.

2013-09-20format-patch: print in-body "From" only when neededLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option, which places the author ident into an in-body from header, and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never implemented that behavior. This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches your particular workflow), rather than only using it when exporting other people's patches.

2013-07-03teach format-patch to place other authors into in-body "From"Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+38
Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however, you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body header. Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the transformation before sending out the emails. However, some workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused many bugs in send-email over the years). This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a "--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

2013-07-03pretty.c: drop const-ness from pretty_print_contextLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+5
In the current code, callers are expected to fill in the pretty_print_context, and then the pretty.c functions simply read from it. This leaves no room for the pretty.c functions to communicate with each other by manipulating the context (e.g., data seen while printing the header may impact how we print the body). Rather than introduce a new struct to hold modifiable data, let's just drop the const-ness of the existing context struct.
