2019-12-19t4015: improve coverage of function context testLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+23
Add a test that includes an actual function line in the test file to check if context is expanded to include the whole function, and add an ignored change before function context to check if that one stays hidden while the originally ignored change within function context is shown. This differs from the existing test, which is concerned with the case where there is no function line at all in the file (and we might look past the beginning of the file).

2019-12-05xdiff: unignore changes in function contextLibravatar René Scharfe1-5/+1
Changes involving only blank lines are hidden with --ignore-blank-lines, unless they appear in the context lines of other changes. This is handled by xdl_get_hunk() for context added by --inter-hunk-context, -u and -U. Function context for -W and --function-context added by xdl_emit_diff() doesn't pay attention to such ignored changes; it relies fully on xdl_get_hunk() and shows just the post-image of ignored changes appearing in function context. That's inconsistent and confusing. Improve the result of using --ignore-blank-lines and --function-context together by fully showing ignored changes if they happen to fall within function context.

2019-11-29t4015: stop losing return codes of git commandsLibravatar Denton Liu1-47/+72
Currently, there are two ways where the return codes of git commands are lost. The first way is when a command is in the upstream of a pipe. In a pipe, only the return code of the last command is used. Thus, all other commands will have their return codes masked. Rewrite pipes so that there are no git commands upstream. The other way is when a command is in a non-assignment command substitution. The return code will be lost in favour of the surrounding command's. Rewrite instances of this so that git commands are either run on their own or in an assignment-only command substitution.

The internal diff machinery can be made to read out of bounds while looking for --funcion-context line in a corner case, which has been corrected. * jk/xdiff-clamp-funcname-context-index: xdiff: clamp function context indices in post-image
2019-07-23xdiff: clamp function context indices in post-imageLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+22
After finding a function line for --function-context in the pre-image, xdl_emit_diff() calculates the equivalent line in the post-image. It assumes that the lines between changes are the same on both sides. If the option --ignore-blank-lines was also given then this is not necessarily true. Clamp the calculation results for start and end of the function context to prevent out-of-bounds array accesses. Note that this _just_ fixes the case where our mismatch sends us off the beginning of the file. There are likely other cases where our assumption causes us to go to the wrong line within the file. Nobody has developed a test case yet, and the ultimate fix is likely more complicated than this patch. But this at least prevents a segfault in the meantime.

For now this only works if the blank lines have been moved as well, not for blocks that have just had their indentation changed. This completes the changes to the implementation of --color-moved=allow-indentation-change. Running git diff --color-moved=allow-indentation-change v2.18.0 v2.19.0 now takes 5.0s.

2019-01-10diff --color-moved-ws: modify allow-indentation-changeLibravatar Phillip Wood1-0/+56
Currently diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change does not support indentation that contains a mix of tabs and spaces. For example in commit 546f70f377 ("convert.h: drop 'extern' from function declaration", 2018-06-30) the function parameters in the following lines are not colored as moved [1]. -extern int stream_filter(struct stream_filter *, - const char *input, size_t *isize_p, - char *output, size_t *osize_p); +int stream_filter(struct stream_filter *, + const char *input, size_t *isize_p, + char *output, size_t *osize_p); This commit changes the way the indentation is handled to track the visual size of the indentation rather than the characters in the indentation. This has the benefit that any whitespace errors do not interfer with the move detection (the whitespace errors will still be highlighted according to --ws-error-highlight). During the discussion of this feature there were concerns about the correct detection of indentation for python. However those concerns apply whether or not we're detecting moved lines so no attempt is made to determine if the indentation is 'pythonic'. [1] Note that before the commit to fix the erroneous coloring of moved lines each line was colored as a different block, since that commit they are uncolored.

2019-01-10diff --color-moved=zebra: be stricter with color alternationLibravatar Phillip Wood1-3/+3
Currently when using --color-moved=zebra the color of moved blocks depends on the number of lines separating them. This means that adding an odd number of unmoved lines between blocks that are already separated by one or more unmoved lines will change the color of subsequent moved blocks. This does not make much sense as the blocks were already separated by unmoved lines and causes problems when adding lines to test cases.

2018-08-21tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test_cmp <empty> <out>'Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-3/+1
Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than >empty && test_cmp empty out as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty', and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500 lines later). These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted manually. Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files: - Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but 'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'. - Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output. - For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success' block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'. - Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update (-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

2018-07-19diff.c: add white space mode to move detection that allows indent changesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+88
The option of --color-moved has proven to be useful as observed on the mailing list. However when refactoring sometimes the indentation changes, for example when partitioning a functions into smaller helper functions the code usually mostly moved around except for a decrease in indentation. To just review the moved code ignoring the change in indentation, a mode to ignore spaces in the move detection as implemented in a previous patch would be enough. However the whole move coloring as motivated in commit 2e2d5ac (diff.c: color moved lines differently, 2017-06-30), brought up the notion of the reviewer being able to trust the move of a "block". As there are languages such as python, which depend on proper relative indentation for the control flow of the program, ignoring any white space change in a block would not uphold the promises of 2e2d5ac that allows reviewers to pay less attention to the inside of a block, as inside the reviewer wants to assume the same program flow. This new mode of white space ignorance will take this into account and will only allow the same white space changes per line in each block. This patch even allows only for the same change at the beginning of the lines. As this is a white space mode, it is made exclusive to other white space modes in the move detection. This patch brings some challenges, related to the detection of blocks. We need a wide net to catch the possible moved lines, but then need to narrow down to check if the blocks are still intact. Consider this example (ignoring block sizes): - A - B - C + A + B + C At the beginning of a block when checking if there is a counterpart for A, we have to ignore all space changes. However at the following lines we have to check if the indent change stayed the same. Checking if the indentation change did stay the same, is done by computing the indentation change by the difference in line length, and then assume the change is only in the beginning of the longer line, the common tail is the same. That is why the test contains lines like: - <TAB> A ... + A <TAB> ... As the first line starting a block is caught using a compare function that ignores white spaces unlike the rest of the block, where the white space delta is taken into account for the comparison, we also have to think about the following situation: - A - B - A - B + A + B + A + B When checking if the first A (both in the + and - lines) is a start of a block, we have to check all 'A' and record all the white space deltas such that we can find the example above to be just one block that is indented.

2018-07-17diff.c: decouple white space treatment from move detection algorithmLibravatar Stefan Beller1-4/+58
In the original implementation of the move detection logic the choice for ignoring white space changes is the same for the move detection as it is for the regular diff. Some cases came up where different treatment would have been nice. Allow the user to specify that white space should be ignored differently during detection of moved lines than during generation of added and removed lines. This is done by providing analogs to the --ignore-space-at-eol, -b, and -w options by introducing the option --color-moved-ws=<modes> with the modes named "ignore-space-at-eol", "ignore-space-change" and "ignore-all-space", which is used only during the move detection phase. As we change the default, we'll adjust the tests. For now we do not infer any options to treat white spaces in the move detection from the generic white space options given to diff. This can be tuned later to reasonable default. As we plan on adding more white space related options in a later patch, that interferes with the current white space options, use a flag field and clamp it down to XDF_WHITESPACE_FLAGS, as that (a) allows to easily check at parse time if we give invalid combinations and (b) can reuse parts of this patch. By having the white space treatment in its own option, we'll also make it easier for a later patch to have an config option for spaces in the move detection.

A regression was introduced in 557a5998d (submodule: remove gitmodules_config, 2017-08-03) to how attribute processing was handled in bare repositories when running the diff-tree command. By default the attribute system will first try to read ".gitattribute" files from the working tree and then falls back to reading them from the index if there isn't a copy checked out in the worktree. Prior to 557a5998d the index was read as a side effect of the call to 'gitmodules_config()' which ensured that the index was already populated before entering the attribute subsystem. Since the call to 'gitmodules_config()' was removed the index is no longer being read so when the attribute system tries to read from the in-memory index it doesn't find any ".gitattribute" entries effectively ignoring any configured attributes. Fix this by explicitly reading the index during the setup of diff-tree.

2017-10-21diff: fix whitespace-skipping with --color-movedLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+67
The code for handling whitespace with --color-moved represents partial strings as a pair of pointers. There are two possible conventions for the end pointer: 1. It points to the byte right after the end of the string. 2. It points to the final byte of the string. But we seem to use both conventions in the code: a. we assign the initial pointers from the NUL-terminated string using (1) b. we eat trailing whitespace by checking the second pointer for isspace(), which needs (2) c. the next_byte() function checks for end-of-string with "if (cp > endp)", which is (2) d. in next_byte() we skip past internal whitespace with "while (cp < end)", which is (1) This creates fewer bugs than you might think, because there are some subtle interactions. Because of (a) and (c), we always return the NUL-terminator from next_byte(). But all of the callers of next_byte() happen to handle that gracefully. Because of the mismatch between (d) and (c), next_byte() could accidentally return a whitespace character right at endp. But because of the interaction of (a) and (b), we fail to actually chomp trailing whitespace, meaning our endp _always_ points to a NUL, canceling out the problem. But that does leave (b) as a real bug: when ignoring whitespace only at the end-of-line, we don't correctly trim it, and fail to match up lines. We can fix the whole thing by moving consistently to one convention. Since convention (1) is idiomatic in our code base, we'll pick that one. The existing "-w" and "-b" tests continue to pass, and a new "--ignore-space-at-eol" shows off the breakage we're fixing.

Note that we have to add a line to our moved block, since having a too-small block doesn't trigger the "moved" heuristics. And we also add a line of context to ensure that there's more context lines than moved lines (so the diff shows us moving the lines up, rather than moving the context down).

2017-10-16diff: fix infinite loop with --color-moved --ignore-space-changeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
The --color-moved code uses next_byte() to advance through the blob contents. When the user has asked to ignore whitespace changes, we try to collapse any whitespace change down to a single space. However, we enter the conditional block whenever we see the IGNORE_WHITESPACE_CHANGE flag, even if the next byte isn't whitespace. This means that the combination of "--color-moved and --ignore-space-change" was completely broken. Worse, because we return from next_byte() without having advanced our pointer, the function makes no forward progress in the buffer and loops infinitely. Fix this by entering the conditional only when we actually see whitespace. We can apply this also to the IGNORE_WHITESPACE change. That code path isn't buggy (because it falls through to returning the next non-whitespace byte), but it makes the logic more clear if we only bother to look at whitespace flags after seeing that the next byte is whitespace.

t4015 contains many color-related tests which need to override the "is stdout a tty" check. They do so by setting the color.diff config, but we can accomplish the same with the --color option. Besides being shorter to type, switching will prepare us for upcoming changes to "always" when see it in config.

2017-08-16diff: define block by number of alphanumeric charsLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-69/+157
The existing behavior of diff --color-moved=zebra does not define the minimum size of a block at all, instead relying on a heuristic applied later to filter out sets of adjacent moved lines that are shorter than 3 lines long. This can be confusing, because a block could thus be colored as moved at the source but not at the destination (or vice versa), depending on its neighbors. Instead, teach diff that the minimum size of a block is 20 alphanumeric characters, the same heuristic used by "git blame". This allows diff to still exclude uninteresting lines appearing on their own (such as those solely consisting of one or a few closing braces), as was the intention of the adjacent-moved-line heuristic. This requires a change in some tests in that some of their lines are no longer considered to be part of a block, because they are too short.

2017-08-16diff: respect MIN_BLOCK_LENGTH for last blockLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+37
Currently, MIN_BLOCK_LENGTH is only checked when diff encounters a line that does not belong to the current block. In particular, this means that MIN_BLOCK_LENGTH is not checked after all lines are encountered. Perform that check.

2017-06-30diff.c: color moved lines differently, plain modeLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+50
Add the 'plain' mode for move detection of code. This omits the checking for adjacent blocks, so it is not as useful. If you have a lot of the same blocks moved in the same patch, the 'Zebra' would end up slow as it is O(n^2) (n is number of same blocks). So this may be useful there and is generally easy to add. Instead be very literal at the move detection, do not skip over short blocks here. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-06-30diff.c: color moved lines differentlyLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+261
When a patch consists mostly of moving blocks of code around, it can be quite tedious to ensure that the blocks are moved verbatim, and not undesirably modified in the move. To that end, color blocks that are moved within the same patch differently. For example (OM, del, add, and NM are different colors): [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OM] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OM] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OM] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NM] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NM] + multiple, [NM] + lines); [NM] +} However adjacent blocks may be problematic. For example, in this potentially malicious patch, the swapping of blocks can be spotted: [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OMA] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OMA] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OMA] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NMA] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NMA] + multiple, [NMA] + lines); [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NMA] +} If the moved code is larger, it is easier to hide some permutation in the code, which is why some alternative coloring is needed. This patch implements the first mode: * basic alternating 'Zebra' mode This conveys all information needed to the user. Defer customization to later patches. First I implemented an alternative design, which would try to fingerprint a line by its neighbors to detect if we are in a block or at the boundary. This idea iss error prone as it inspected each line and its neighboring lines to determine if the line was (a) moved and (b) if was deep inside a hunk by having matching neighboring lines. This is unreliable as the we can construct hunks which have equal neighbors that just exceed the number of lines inspected. (Think of 'AXYZBXYZCXYZD..' with each letter as a line, that is permutated to AXYZCXYZBXYZD..'). Instead this provides a dynamic programming greedy algorithm that finds the largest moved hunk and then has several modes on highlighting bounds. A note on the options '--submodule=diff' and '--color-words/--word-diff': In the conversion to use emit_line in the prior patches both submodules as well as word diff output carefully chose to call emit_line with sign=0. All output with sign=0 is ignored for move detection purposes in this patch, such that no weird looking output will be generated for these cases. This leads to another thought: We could pass on '--color-moved' to submodules such that they color up moved lines for themselves. If we'd do so only line moves within a repository boundary are marked up. It is useful to have moved lines colored, but there are annoying corner cases, such as a single line moved, that is very common. For example in a typical patch of C code, we have closing braces that end statement blocks or functions. While it is technically true that these lines are moved as they show up elsewhere, it is harmful for the review as the reviewers attention is drawn to such a minor side annoyance. For now let's have a simple solution of hardcoding the number of moved lines to be at least 3 before coloring them. Note, that the length is applied across all blocks to find the 'lonely' blocks that pollute new code, but do not interfere with a permutated block where each permutation has less lines than 3.

2015-05-26diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+96
Traditionally, we only cared about whitespace breakages introduced in new lines. Some people want to paint whitespace breakages on old lines, too. When they see a whitespace breakage on a new line, they can spot the same kind of whitespace breakage on the corresponding old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now." Introduce `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>` option, that lets them pass a comma separated list of `old`, `new`, and `context` to specify what lines to highlight whitespace errors on.

2015-05-26t4015: separate common setup and per-test expectationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+13
The last two tests in the script were to - set up color.diff.* slots - set up an expectation for a single test - run that test and check the result but split in a wrong way. It did the first two in the first test and the third one in the second test. The latter two belong to each other. This matters when you plan to add more of these tests that share the common coloring. While at it, make sure we use a color different from old, which is also red. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
