2014-07-14refs.c: change ref_transaction_update() to do error checking and return statusLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-6/+12
Update ref_transaction_update() do some basic error checking and return non-zero on error. Update all callers to check ref_transaction_update() for error. There are currently no conditions in _update that will return error but there will be in the future. Add an err argument that will be updated on failure. In future patches we will start doing both locking and checking for name conflicts in _update instead of _commit at which time this function will start returning errors for these conditions. Also check for BUGs during update and die(BUG:...) if we are calling _update with have_old but the old_sha1 pointer is NULL.

2014-07-13add object_as_type helper for casting objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes something like: 1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have one, allocate and return a new one. 2. Double check that any object we have is the expected type (and complain and return NULL otherwise). 3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type. We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which checks whether we have the expected object type, converts OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object. Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into objects of other types. Future patches will use that to enforce type-specific invariants. Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to see that this is the case: - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same thing. - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3 (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to sha1_object_info). - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3 is a noop here. The object we got will have just come from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for each object in order to know when to stop peeling. Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-06-30replace has_extension with ends_withLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
These two are almost the same function, with the exception that has_extension only matches if there is content before the suffix. So ends_with(".exe", ".exe") is true, but has_extension would not be. This distinction does not matter to any of the callers, though, and we can just replace uses of has_extension with ends_with. We prefer the "ends_with" name because it is more generic, and there is nothing about the function that requires it to be used for file extensions.

2014-06-18refs.c: SSE2 optimizations for check_refname_componentLibravatar David Turner1-18/+216
Optimize check_refname_component using SSE2 on x86_64. git rev-parse HEAD is a good test-case for this, since it does almost nothing except parse refs. For one particular repo with about 60k refs, almost all packed, the timings are: Look up table: 29 ms SSE2: 23 ms This cuts about 20% off of the runtime. Ondřej Bílka <neleai@seznam.cz> suggested an SSE2 approach to the substring searches, which netted a speed boost over the SSE4.2 code I had initially written.

read_ref_at has its own parsing of the reflog file for no really good reason so lets change this to use the existing reflog iterators. This removes one instance where we manually unmarshall the reflog file format. Remove the now redundant ref_msg function. Log messages for errors are changed slightly. We no longer print the file name for the reflog, instead we refer to it as 'Log for ref <refname>'. This might be a minor useability regression, but I don't really think so, since experienced users would know where the log is anyway and inexperienced users would not know what to do about/how to repair 'Log ... has gap ...' anyway.

When 'git remote rm' or 'git remote prune' were used in a repository with many refs, and needed to delete many remote-tracking refs, a lot of time was spent deleting those refs since for each deleted ref, repack_without_refs() was called to rewrite packed-refs without just that deleted ref. To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all the refs that will be deleted, before calling delete_ref() to delete each one completely. The call to repack_without_ref() in delete_ref() then becomes a no-op, since packed-refs already won't contain any of the deleted refs.

Update checkout.c to use these functions in update_refs_for_switch instead of building pathnames and calling out to file access functions. Update reflog.c to use these to check if the reflog exists. Now there are still many places in reflog.c where we are still leaking the reflog storage implementation but this at least reduces the number of such dependencies by one. Finally change two places in refs.c itself to use the new function to check if a ref exists or not isntead of build-path-and-stat(). Now, this is strictly not all that important since these are in parts of refs that are implementing the actual file storage backend but on the other hand it will not hurt either.

2014-04-07update_refs(): fix constnessLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
The old signature of update_refs() required a (const struct ref_update **) for its updates_orig argument. The "const" is presumably there to promise that the function will not modify the contents of the structures. But this declaration does not permit the function to be called with a (struct ref_update **), which is perfectly legitimate. C's type system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like. So remove the first "const" from the declaration. On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the pointers within the array that is passed to it without inconveniencing its callers. So add a "const" that has that effect, making the final declaration (struct ref_update * const *).
