2019-09-18test_date.c: remove reference to GIT_TEST_DATE_NOWLibravatar Stephen P. Smith1-1/+0
Remove the reference to the GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW which is done in date.c. We can't get rid of the "x" variable, since it serves as a generic scratch variable for parsing later in the function. Signed-off-by: Stephen P. Smith <ischis2@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-09-12Quit passing 'now' to date codeLibravatar Stephen P. Smith1-17/+9
Commit b841d4ff43 (Add `human` format to test-tool, 2019-01-28) added a get_time() function which allows $GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW in the environment to override the current time. So we no longer need to interpret that variable in cmd__date(). Therefore, we can stop passing the "now" parameter down through the date functions, since nobody uses them. Note that we do need to make sure all of the previous callers that took a "now" parameter are correctly using get_time(). Signed-off-by: Stephen P.

2019-03-20test-date: drop unused "now" parameter from parse_dates()Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
We only need the current time for relative dates like "5 minutes ago", and those are parsed only through approxidate, not the strict parser used by parse_dates(). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-02-06Merge branch 'lt/date-human'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+12
A new date format "--date=human" that morphs its output depending on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced. "--date=auto" can be used to use this new format when the output is going to the pager or to the terminal and otherwise the default format. * lt/date-human: Add `human` date format tests. Add `human` format to test-tool Add 'human' date format documentation Replace the proposed 'auto' mode with 'auto:' Add 'human' date format
2019-02-06test-date: drop unused parameter to getnanos()Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
The getnanos() helper always gets the current time from our getnanotime() facility. The caller cannot override it via TEST_DATE_NOW, and hence we simply ignore the "now" parameter to the function. Let's remove it, as it may mislead callers into thinking it does something. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-01-29Add `human` format to test-toolLibravatar Stephen P. Smith1-1/+12
Add the human format support to the test tool so that GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW can be used to specify the current time. The get_time() helper function was created and and checks the GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW environment variable. If GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW is set, then that date is used instead of the date returned by by gettimeofday(). All calls to gettimeofday() were replaced by calls to get_time(). Renamed occurances of TEST_DATE_NOW to GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW since the variable is now used in the get binary and not just in the test-tool. Signed-off-by: Stephen P.

2019-01-28test-date: add a subcommand to measure times in shell scriptsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+12
In the next commit, we want to teach Git's test suite to optionally output test results in JUnit-style .xml files. These files contain information about the time spent. So we need a way to measure time. While we could use `date +%s` for that, this will give us only seconds, i.e. very coarse-grained timings. GNU `date` supports `date +%s.%N` (i.e. nanosecond-precision output), but there is no equivalent in BSD `date` (read: on macOS, we would not be able to obtain precise timings). So let's introduce `test-tool date getnanos`, with an optional start time, that outputs preciser values. Note that this might not actually give us nanosecond precision on some platforms, but it will give us as precise information as possible, without the portability issues of shell commands. Granted, it is a bit pointless to try measuring times accurately in shell scripts, certainly to nanosecond precision. But it is better than second-granularity.

2019-01-24show_date_relative(): drop unused "tz" parameterLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The timestamp we receive is in epoch time, so there's no need for a timezone parameter to interpret it. The matching show_date() uses "tz" to show dates in author local time, but relative dates show only the absolute time difference. The author's location is irrelevant, barring relativistic effects from using Git close to the speed of light.

2017-11-18config: add --expiry-dateLibravatar Haaris Mehmood1-0/+12
Add --expiry-date as a data-type for config files when 'git config --get' is used. This will return any relative or fixed dates from config files as timestamps. This is useful for scripts (e.g. gc.reflogexpire) that work with timestamps so that '2.weeks' can be converted to a format acceptable by those scripts/functions. Following the convention of git_config_pathname(), move the helper function required for this feature from builtin/reflog.c to builtin/config.c where other similar functions exist (e.g. for --bool or --path), and match the order of parameters with other functions (i.e. output pointer as first parameter).

2017-04-27timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit versions). So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type. By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all timestamps' data type in one go. As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`, we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

2017-04-23PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them. There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows, time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type. So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for timestamps.

2017-04-23parse_timestamp(): specify explicitly where we parse timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Currently, Git's source code represents all timestamps as `unsigned long`. In preparation for using a more appropriate data type, let's introduce a symbol `parse_timestamp` (currently being defined to `strtoul`) where appropriate, so that we can later easily switch to, say, use `strtoull()` instead.

2017-04-20t0006 & t5000: skip "far in the future" test when time_t is too limitedLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+4
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned long, which is ill-defined, as there is no guarantee about the number of bits that data type has. In preparation of switching to another data type that is large enough to hold "far in the future" dates, we need to prepare the t0006-date.sh script for the case where we *still* cannot format those dates if the system library uses 32-bit time_t.

2017-04-20t0006 & t5000: prepare for 64-bit timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+4
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs. On 32-bit platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future". It is perfectly valid by the C standard, of course, for the `long` data type to refer to 32-bit integers. That is why the `time_t` data type exists: so that it can be 64-bit even if `long` is 32-bit. Git's source code simply uses an incorrect data type for timestamps, is all. The earlier quick fix 6b9c38e14cd (t0006: skip "far in the future" test when unsigned long is not long enough, 2016-07-11) papered over this issue simply by skipping the respective test cases on platforms where they would fail due to the data type in use. This quick fix, however, tests for *long* to be 64-bit or not. What we need, though, is a test that says whether *whatever data type we use for timestamps* is 64-bit or not. The same quick fix was used to handle the similar problem where Git's source code uses `unsigned long` to represent size, instead of `size_t`, conflating the two issues. So let's just add another prerequisite to test specifically whether timestamps are represented by a 64-bit data type or not. Later, after we switch to a larger data type, we can flip that prerequisite to test `time_t` instead of `long`.

2016-07-19Merge branch 'jk/common-main'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+7
There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git" potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to make it harder to make mistakes. * jk/common-main: mingw: declare main()'s argv as const common-main: call git_setup_gettext() common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default() common-main: call sanitize_stdfds() common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path() add an extra level of indirection to main()

The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a bogus offset value to the caller.
