2017-07-14strbuf: use designated initializers in STRBUF_INITLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
There are certain C99 features that might be nice to use in our code base, but we've hesitated to do so in order to avoid breaking compatibility with older compilers. But we don't actually know if people are even using pre-C99 compilers these days. One way to figure that out is to introduce a very small use of a feature, and see if anybody complains. The strbuf code is a good place to do this for a few reasons: - it always gets compiled, no matter which Makefile knobs have been tweaked. - it's very stable; this definition hasn't changed in a long time and is not likely to (so if we have to revert, it's unlikely to cause headaches) If this patch can survive a few releases without complaint, then we can feel more confident that designated initializers are widely supported by our user base. It also is an indication that other C99 features may be supported, but not a guarantee (e.g., gcc had designated initializers before C99 existed). And if we do get complaints, then we'll have gained some data and we can easily revert this patch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-07-01strbuf: change an always NULL/"" strbuf_addftime() param to boolLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+3
strbuf_addftime() allows callers to pass a time zone name for expanding %Z. The only current caller either passes the empty string or NULL, in which case %Z is handed over verbatim to strftime(3). Replace that string parameter with a flag controlling whether to remove %Z from the format specification. This simplifies the code.

2017-06-15strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itselfLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+8
There is no portable way to pass timezone information to strftime. Add parameters for timezone offset and name to strbuf_addftime and let it handle the timezone-related format specifiers %z and %Z internally. Callers can opt out for %Z by passing NULL as timezone name. %z is always handled internally -- this helps on Windows, where strftime would expand it to a timezone name (same as %Z), in violation of POSIX. Modifiers are not handled, e.g. %Ez is still passed to strftime. Use an empty string as timezone name in show_date (the only current caller) for now because we only have the timezone offset in non-local mode. POSIX allows %Z to resolve to an empty string in case of missing information.

2017-03-02interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansionsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like @{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and "@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/"). This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is nonsense). Callers can't know from the returned string how the expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that the caller can generate precise error messages ("I understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local name"). However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in, and none of the callers give more precise error messages than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which should be sufficient). The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter, as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name() through it. We can break the callers down into two groups: 1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work without restrictions. This includes merge_name(), the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(), and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers dwim_ref(). 2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this patch, and will address them individually in follow-on patches.

Add a function for appending the canonized absolute pathname of a given path to a strbuf.

It's more consistent with the rest of the strbuf API than strbuf_realpath(), which it's wrapping. Also add a semantic patch demonstrating its intended usage and apply it to the current tree.

2016-10-10link_alt_odb_entry: handle normalize_path errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
When we add a new alternate to the list, we try to normalize out any redundant "..", etc. However, we do not look at the return value of normalize_path_copy(), and will happily continue with a path that could not be normalized. Worse, the normalizing process is done in-place, so we are left with whatever half-finished working state the normalizing function was in. Fortunately, this cannot cause us to read past the end of our buffer, as that working state will always leave the NUL from the original path in place. And we do tend to notice problems when we check is_directory() on the path. But you can see the nonsense that we feed to is_directory with an entry like: this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve in your objects/info/alternates, which yields: error: object directory /to/e/deep/too/way//ects/this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates. We can easily fix this just by checking the return value. But that makes it hard to generate a good error message, since we're normalizing in-place and our input value has been overwritten by cruft. Instead, let's provide a strbuf helper that does an in-place normalize, but restores the original contents on error. This uses a second buffer under the hood, which is slightly less efficient, but this is not a performance-critical code path. The strbuf helper can also properly set the "len" parameter of the strbuf before returning. Just doing: normalize_path_copy(buf.buf, buf.buf); will shorten the string, but leave buf.len at the original length. That may be confusing to later code which uses the strbuf.

2016-01-15strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+15
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-01-14strbuf: make strbuf_getline_crlf() globalLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user (e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are terminated with CRLF. Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text" input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka <newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after stripping <newline>. Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others. Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf() and this is very much deliberate. Some callers may want to treat an incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement will result in misconversion when done without code audit.

2015-09-25add reentrant variants of sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrevLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
The sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev functions always write into reusable static buffers. There are a few problems with this: - future calls overwrite our result. This is especially annoying with find_unique_abbrev, which does not have a ring of buffers, so you cannot even printf() a result that has two abbreviated sha1s. - if you want to put the result into another buffer, we often strcpy, which looks suspicious when auditing for overflows. This patch introduces sha1_to_hex_r and find_unique_abbrev_r, which write into a user-provided buffer. Of course this is just punting on the overflow-auditing, as the buffer obviously needs to be GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1 bytes. But it is much easier to audit, since that is a well-known size. We retain the non-reentrant forms, which just become thin wrappers around the reentrant ones. This patch also adds a strbuf variant of find_unique_abbrev, which will be handy in later patches.

We mark strbuf_addch as inline, because we expect it may be called from a tight loop. However, the first thing it does is call the non-inline strbuf_grow(), which can handle arbitrary-sized growth. Since we know that we only need a single character, we can use the inline strbuf_avail() to quickly check whether we need to grow at all. Our check is redundant when we do call strbuf_grow(), but that's OK. The common case is that we avoid calling it at all, and we have made that case faster. On a silly pathological case: perl -le ' print "[core]"; print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000) ' >input git config -f input core.key1 this dropped the time to run git-config from: real 0m0.159s user 0m0.152s sys 0m0.004s to: real 0m0.140s user 0m0.136s sys 0m0.004s for a savings of 12%.

2015-01-16strbuf.h: integrate api-strbuf.txt documentationLibravatar Jeff King1-67/+390
Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions, and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt. This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation. We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the text document, or all in the header. Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the documentation close to the related code. The hope is that this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier for writers to keep the documentation up to date. This is more or less a straight import of the text from api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc formatting. The exceptions are: 1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**" to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print it. 2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name, as it is available in the context directly below. So: `strbuf_add`:: Add data of given length to the buffer. from api-strbuf.txt becomes: /** * Add data of given length to the buffer. */ void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t); As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc for that list item was dropped in favor of straight blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we are not in a list item). 3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever version was more descriptive, and eliminated any redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated this as redundant with the actual definition, which can be seen directly below the comment. 4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match the ordering of the API documentation, under the assumption that more thought went into the grouping there.

2014-09-08strbuf: export strbuf_addchars()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
Move strbuf_addchars() to strbuf.c, where it belongs, and make it available for other callers. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-02Merge branch 'rs/strbuf-getcwd'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
Reduce the use of fixed sized buffer passed to getcwd() calls by introducing xgetcwd() helper. * rs/strbuf-getcwd: use strbuf_add_absolute_path() to add absolute paths abspath: convert absolute_path() to strbuf use xgetcwd() to set $GIT_DIR use xgetcwd() to get the current directory or die wrapper: add xgetcwd() abspath: convert real_path_internal() to strbuf abspath: use strbuf_getcwd() to remember original working directory setup: convert setup_git_directory_gently_1 et al. to strbuf unix-sockets: use strbuf_getcwd() strbuf: add strbuf_getcwd()
2014-08-26abspath: convert absolute_path() to strbufLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+2
Move most of the code of absolute_path() into the new function strbuf_add_absolute_path() and in the process transform it to use struct strbuf and xgetcwd() instead of a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which can be too small on some file systems.

2014-07-28strbuf: add strbuf_getcwd()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
Add strbuf_getcwd(), which puts the current working directory into a strbuf. Because it doesn't use a fixed-size buffer it supports arbitrarily long paths, provided the platform's getcwd() does as well. At least on Linux and FreeBSD it handles paths longer than PATH_MAX just fine.
