2015-07-20strbuf: make strbuf_addftime more robustLibravatar Jeff King1-17/+21
The return value of strftime is poorly designed; when it returns 0, the caller cannot tell if the buffer was not large enough, or if the output was actually 0 bytes. In the original implementation of strbuf_addftime, we simply punted and guessed that our 128-byte hint would be large enough. We can do better, though, if we're willing to treat strftime like less of a black box. We can munge the incoming format to make sure that it never produces 0-length output, and then "fix" the resulting output. That lets us reliably grow the buffer based on strftime's return value.

2015-04-16strbuf_getwholeline: use getdelim if it is availableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+42
We spend a lot of time in strbuf_getwholeline in a tight loop reading characters from a stdio handle into a buffer. The libc getdelim() function can do this for us with less overhead. It's in POSIX.1-2008, and was a GNU extension before that. Therefore we can't rely on it, but can fall back to the existing getc loop when it is not available. The HAVE_GETDELIM knob is turned on automatically for Linux, where we have glibc. We don't need to set any new feature-test macros, because we already define _GNU_SOURCE. Other systems that implement getdelim may need to other macros (probably _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L), but we can address that along with setting the Makefile knob after testing the feature on those systems.

2015-04-16strbuf_getwholeline: avoid calling strbuf_growLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
As with the recent speedup to strbuf_addch, we can avoid calling strbuf_grow() in a tight loop of single-character adds by instead checking strbuf_avail. Note that we would instead call strbuf_addch directly here, but it does more work than necessary: it will NUL-terminate the result for each character read. Instead, in this loop we read the characters one by one and then add the terminator manually at the end. Running "git rev-parse refs/heads/does-not-exist" on a repo with an extremely large (1.6GB) packed-refs file went from (best-of-5): real 0m10.948s user 0m10.548s sys 0m0.412s to: real 0m8.601s user 0m8.084s sys 0m0.524s for a wall-clock speedup of 21%.

2015-04-16strbuf_getwholeline: use getc_unlockedLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
strbuf_getwholeline calls getc in a tight loop. On modern libc implementations, the stdio code locks the handle for every operation, which means we are paying a significant overhead. We can get around this by locking the handle for the whole loop and using the unlocked variant. Running "git rev-parse refs/heads/does-not-exist" on a repo with an extremely large (1.6GB) packed-refs file went from: real 0m18.900s user 0m18.472s sys 0m0.448s to: real 0m10.953s user 0m10.384s sys 0m0.580s for a wall-clock speedup of 42%. All times are best-of-3, and done on a glibc 2.19 system. Note that we call into strbuf_grow while holding the lock. It's possible for that function to call other stdio functions (e.g., printing to stderr when dying due to malloc error); however, the POSIX.1-2001 definition of flockfile makes it clear that the locks are per-handle, so we are fine unless somebody else tries to read from our same handle. This doesn't ever happen in the current code, and is unlikely to be added in the future (we would have to do something exotic like add a die_routine that tried to read from stdin).

strbuf_getwholeline calls fgetc in a tight loop. Using the getc form, which can be implemented as a macro, should be faster (and we do not care about it evaluating our argument twice, as we just have a plain variable).

2014-10-27strbuf_add_commented_lines(): avoid SP-HT sequence in commented linesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
The strbuf_add_commented_lines() function passes a pair of prefixes, one to be used for a non-empty line, and the other for an empty line, to underlying add_lines(). The former is set to a comment char followed by a SP, while the latter is set to just the comment char. This is designed to give a SP after the comment character, e.g. "# <user text>\n", on a line with some text, and to avoid emitting an unsightly "# \n" for an empty line. Teach this machinery to also use the latter space-less prefix when the payload line begins with a tab, to show e.g. "#\t<user text>\n"; otherwise we will end up showing "# \t<user text>\n" which is similarly unsightly.

The ends_with function is essentially a simplified version of strip_suffix, in which we throw away the stripped length. Implementing it as an inline on top of strip_suffix has two advantages: 1. We save a bit of duplicated code. 2. The suffix is typically a string literal, and we call strlen on it. By making the function inline, many compilers can replace the strlen call with a constant.

prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() share the common "cmp" suffix that typically are used to name functions that can be used for ordering, but they can't, because they are not antisymmetric: prefixcmp("foo", "foobar") < 0 prefixcmp("foobar", "foo") == 0 We in fact do not use these functions for ordering. Replace them with functions that just check for equality. Add starts_with() and end_with() that will be used to replace prefixcmp() and suffixcmp(), respectively, as the first step. These are named after corresponding functions/methods in programming languages, like Java, Python and Ruby.

2013-04-10strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizesLibravatar Antoine Pelisse1-0/+19
Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere. Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other callers. We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of "0 KiB/s".

2012-10-18strbuf: always return a non-NULL value from strbuf_detachLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
The current behavior is to return NULL when strbuf did not actually allocate a string. This can be quite surprising to callers, though, who may feed the strbuf from arbitrary data and expect to always get a valid value. In most cases, it does not make a difference because calling any strbuf function will cause an allocation (even if the function ends up not inserting any data). But if the code is structured like: struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT; if (some_condition) strbuf_addstr(&buf, some_string); return strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL); then you may or may not return NULL, depending on the condition. This can cause us to segfault in http-push (when fed an empty URL) and in http-backend (when an empty parameter like "foo=bar&&" is in the $QUERY_STRING). This patch forces strbuf_detach to allocate an empty NUL-terminated string when it is called on a strbuf that has not been allocated. I investigated all call-sites of strbuf_detach. The majority are either not affected by the change (because they call a strbuf_* function unconditionally), or can handle the empty string just as easily as NULL.

This use of strbuf_grow() is a historical artifact that was once used to ensure that strbuf.buf was allocated and properly nul-terminated.

* tr/maint-strbuf-grow-nul-termination: strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new buffer
2011-08-29strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new bufferLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+5
In the case where sb is initialized to the slopbuf (through strbuf_init(sb,0) or STRBUF_INIT), strbuf_grow() loses the terminating nul: it grows the buffer, but gives ALLOC_GROW a NULL source to avoid it being freed. So ALLOC_GROW does not copy anything to the new memory area. This subtly broke the call to strbuf_getline in read_next_command() [fast-import.c:1855], which goes strbuf_detach(&command_buf, NULL); # command_buf is now = STRBUF_INIT stdin_eof = strbuf_getline(&command_buf, stdin, '\n'); if (stdin_eof) return EOF; In strbuf_getwholeline, this did strbuf_grow(sb, 0); # loses nul-termination if (feof(fp)) return EOF; strbuf_reset(sb); # this would have nul-terminated! Valgrind found this because fast-import subsequently uses prefixcmp() on command_buf.buf, which after the EOF exit contains only uninitialized memory. Arguably strbuf_getwholeline is also broken, in that it touches the buffer before deciding whether to do any work. However, it seems more futureproof to not let the strbuf API lose the nul-termination by its own fault. So make sure that strbuf_grow() puts in a nul even if it has nowhere to copy it from. This makes strbuf_grow(sb, 0) a semantic no-op as far as readers of the buffer are concerned. Also remove the nul-termination added by strbuf_init, which is made redudant.

2011-06-22strbuf: allow strbuf_split to work on non-strbufsLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+6
The strbuf_split function takes a strbuf as input, and outputs a list of strbufs. However, there is no reason that the input has to be a strbuf, and not an arbitrary buffer. This patch adds strbuf_split_buf for a length-delimited buffer, and strbuf_split_str for NUL-terminated strings.

2011-06-22strbuf_split: add a max parameterLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+5
Sometimes when splitting, you only want a limited number of fields, and for the final field to contain "everything else", even if it includes the delimiter. This patch introduces strbuf_split_max, which provides a "max number of fields" parameter; it behaves similarly to perl's "split" with a 3rd field. The existing 2-argument form of strbuf_split is retained for compatibility and ease-of-use. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
