The reason rerere(), rerere_forget() and rerere_remaining() take a struct repository instead of struct index_state is not obvious from the patch: Deep in update_paths() and find_conflict(), hold_locked_index() and read_index() are called. These functions assumes the index path at $GIT_DIR/index which is not always true when you take an arbitrary index state. Taking a repository will allow us to point to the right index path later when we replace them with repo_ versions.

2018-09-11rerere: avoid buffer overrunLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
check_one_conflict() compares `i` to `active_nr` in two places to avoid buffer overruns, but left out an important third location. The code did used to have a check here comparing i to active_nr, back before commit fb70a06da2f1 ("rerere: fix an off-by-one non-bug", 2015-06-28), however the code at the time used an 'if' rather than a 'while' meaning back then that this loop could not have read past the end of the array, making the check unnecessary and it was removed. Unfortunately, in commit 5eda906b2873 ("rerere: handle conflicts with multiple stage #1 entries", 2015-07-24), the 'if' was changed to a 'while' and the check comparing i and active_nr was not re-instated, leading to this problem.

2018-08-06rerere: recalculate conflict ID when unresolved conflict is committedLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-4/+3
Currently when a user doesn't resolve a conflict, commits the results, and does an operation which creates another conflict, rerere will use the ID of the previously unresolved conflict for the new conflict. This is because the conflict is kept in the MERGE_RR file, which 'rerere' reads every time it is invoked. After the new conflict is solved, rerere will record the resolution with the ID of the old conflict. So in order to replay the conflict, both merges would have to be re-done, instead of just the last one, in order for rerere to be able to automatically resolve the conflict. Instead of that, assign a new conflict ID if there are still conflicts in a file and the file had conflicts at a previous step. This ID matches the conflict we actually resolved at the corresponding step. Note that there are no backwards compatibility worries here, as rerere would have failed to even normalize the conflict before this patch series.

2018-08-06rerere: teach rerere to handle nested conflictsLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-2/+8
Currently rerere can't handle nested conflicts and will error out when it encounters such conflicts. Do that by recursively calling the 'handle_conflict' function to normalize the conflict. Note that a conflict like this would only be produced if a user commits a file with conflict markers, and gets a conflict including that in a susbsequent operation. The conflict ID calculation here deserves some explanation: As we are using the same handle_conflict function, the nested conflict is normalized the same way as for non-nested conflicts, which means the ancestor in the diff3 case is stripped out, and the parts of the conflict are ordered alphabetically. The conflict ID is however is only calculated in the top level handle_conflict call, so it will include the markers that 'rerere' adds to the output. e.g. say there's the following conflict: <<<<<<< HEAD 1 ======= <<<<<<< HEAD 3 ======= 2 >>>>>>> branch-2 >>>>>>> branch-3~ it would be recorde as follows in the preimage: <<<<<<< 1 ======= <<<<<<< 2 ======= 3 >>>>>>> >>>>>>> and the conflict ID would be calculated as sha1(1<NUL><<<<<<< 2 ======= 3 >>>>>>><NUL>) Stripping out vs. leaving the conflict markers in place in the inner conflict should have no practical impact, but it simplifies the implementation.

2018-08-06rerere: return strbuf from handle pathLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-40/+18
Currently we write the conflict to disk directly in the handle_path function. To make it re-usable for nested conflicts, instead of writing the conflict out directly, store it in a strbuf and let the caller write it out. This does mean some slight increase in memory usage, however that increase is limited to the size of the largest conflict we've currently processed. We already keep one copy of the conflict in memory, and it shouldn't be too large, so the increase in memory usage seems acceptable. As a bonus this lets us get replace the rerere_io_putconflict function with a trivial two line function.

Factor out the handle_conflict function, which handles a single conflict in a path. This is in preparation for a subsequent commit, where this function will be re-used. Note that this does change the behaviour of 'git rerere' slightly. Where previously we'd consider all files where an unmatched conflict marker is found as invalid, we now only consider files invalid when the "ours" conflict marker ("<<<<<<< <text>") is unmatched, not when other conflict markers (e.g. "=======") is unmatched.

We currently return the exact number of conflict hunks a certain path has from the 'handle_paths' function.

2018-08-06rerere: fix crash with files rerere can't handleLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-5/+7
Currently when a user does a conflict resolution and ends it (in any way that calls 'git rerere' again) with a file 'rerere' can't handle, subsequent rerere operations that are interested in that path, such as 'rerere clear' or 'rerere forget <path>' will fail, or even worse in the case of 'rerere clear' segfault. Such states include nested conflicts, or a conflict marker that doesn't have any match. This is because 'git rerere' calculates a conflict file and writes it to the MERGE_RR file. When the user then changes the file in any way rerere can't handle, and then calls 'git rerere' on it again to record the conflict resolution, the handle_file function fails, and removes the 'preimage' file in the rr-cache in the process, while leaving the ID in the MERGE_RR file. Now when 'rerere clear' is run, it reads the ID from the MERGE_RR file, however the 'fit_variant' function for the ID is never called as the 'preimage' file does not exist anymore. This means 'collection->status' in 'has_rerere_resolution' is NULL, and the command will crash. To fix this, remove the rerere ID from the MERGE_RR file in the case when we can't handle it, just after the 'preimage' file was removed and remove the corresponding variant from .git/rr-cache/. Removing it unconditionally is fine here, because if the user would have resolved the conflict and ran rerere, the entry would no longer be in the MERGE_RR file, so we wouldn't have this problem in the first place, while if the conflict was not resolved. Currently there is nothing left in this folder, as the 'preimage' was already deleted by the 'handle_file' function, so 'remove_variant' is a no-op. Still call the function, to make sure we clean everything up, in case we add some other files corresponding to a variant in the future. Note that other variants that have the same conflict ID will not be touched. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It looks like most paths in the output in the git codebase are wrapped in single quotes. Standardize on that in rerere as well.

As a subsequent commit will mark all output that comes from 'rerere.c' for translation, make the life of the translators a little bit easier by using a string that is used elsewhere, and marked for translation there, and thus most likely already translated.

2018-05-10lock_file: move static locks into functionsLibravatar Martin Ågren1-2/+1
Placing `struct lock_file`s on the stack used to be a bad idea, because the temp- and lockfile-machinery would keep a pointer into the struct. But after 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we can safely have lockfiles on the stack. (This applies even if a user returns early, leaving a locked lock behind.) Each of these `struct lock_file`s is used from within a single function. Move them into the respective functions to make the scope clearer and drop the staticness. For good measure, I have inspected these sites and come to believe that they always release the lock, with the possible exception of bailing out using `die()` or `exit()` or by returning from a `cmd_foo()`. As pointed out by Jeff King, it would be bad if someone held on to a `struct lock_file *` for some reason. After some grepping, I agree with his findings: no-one appears to be doing that. After this commit, the remaining occurrences of "static struct lock_file" are locks that are used from within different functions. That is, they need to remain static.

2018-03-01write_locked_index(): add flag to avoid writing unchanged indexLibravatar Martin Ågren1-5/+3
We have several callers like if (active_cache_changed && write_locked_index(...)) handle_error(); rollback_lock_file(...); where the final rollback is needed because "!active_cache_changed" shortcuts the if-expression. There are also a few variants of this, including some if-else constructs that make it more clear when the explicit rollback is really needed. Teach `write_locked_index()` to take a new flag SKIP_IF_UNCHANGED and simplify the callers. Leave the most complicated of the callers (in builtin/update-index.c) unchanged. Rewriting it to use this new flag would end up duplicating logic. We could have made the new flag behave the other way round ("FORCE_WRITE"), but that could break existing users behind their backs. Let's take the more conservative approach. We can still migrate existing callers to use our new flag. Later we might even be able to flip the default, possibly without entirely ignoring the risk to in-flight or out-of-tree topics.

2017-09-14avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" patternLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11). So checking anything except "was the return value negative" is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do so: 1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your "len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant. This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed recently in config.c). We should avoid promoting the mental model that you need to check the length at all, so that new sites are not tempted to copy us. 2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type, especially when the length is an expression. 3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full() users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full() semantics were changed, he wrote: I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones. Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that writing it this way does not have an intentional benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly cargo-culted into new sites). So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for write_in_full()). [1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is _larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken version of write(), it would already invoke undefined behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work correctly without using the return value, though. In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter. But this will do for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-08-22rerere: represent time duration in timestamp_t internallyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-13/+23
The two configuration variables, gc.rerereResolved and gc.rerereUnresolved, are measured in days and are passed as such into the prune_one() helper function, which worked in time_t to see if an entry in the rerere database is past its expiry. Instead, have the caller turn the number of days into the expiry timestamp. Further, use timestamp_t instead of time_t. This will make it possible to extend the way the configuration variable is spelled by using date.c::parse_expiry_date() that gives the expiry timestamp in timestamp_t.

2017-06-16*.[ch] refactoring: make use of the FREE_AND_NULL() macroLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+1
Replace occurrences of `free(ptr); ptr = NULL` which weren't caught by the coccinelle rule. These fall into two categories: - free/NULL assignments one after the other which coccinelle all put on one line, which is functionally equivalent code, but very ugly. - manually spotted occurrences where the NULL assignment isn't right after the free() call.

2016-12-07hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to die upon failure. This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update(). Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is intended with this patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0: - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is just before the program exits and nobody should care. - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(), builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(), sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic updates and they are OK. - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK. - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.
