2020-01-15t4066: compute index line in diffsLibravatar brian m. carlson1-5/+5
Since the object ID used in the index line will differ between different algorithms, compute these values instead of hard-coding them. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-01-24diff: clear emitted_symbols flag after useLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+79
There's an odd bug when "log --color-moved" is used with the combination of "--cc --stat -p": the stat for merge commits is erroneously shown with the diff of the _next_ commit. The included test demonstrates the issue. Our history looks something like this: A-B-M--D \ / C When we run "git log --cc --stat -p --color-moved" starting at D, we get this sequence of events: 1. The diff for D is using -p, so diff_flush() calls into diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(). There we see that o->color_moved is in effect, so we point o->emitted_symbols to a static local struct, causing diff_flush_patch() to queue the symbols instead of actually writing them out. We then do our move detection, emit the symbols, and clear the struct. But we leave o->emitted_symbols pointing to our struct. 2. Next we compute the diff for M. This is a merge, so we use the combined diff code. In find_paths_generic(), we compute the pairwise diff between each commit and its parent. Normally this is done with DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT, since we're just looking for intersecting paths. But since "--stat --cc" shows the first-parent stat, and since we're computing that diff anyway, we enable DIFF_FORMAT_DIFFSTAT for the first parent. This outputs the stat information immediately, saving us from running a separate first-parent diff later. But where does that output go? Normally it goes directly to stdout, but because o->emitted_symbols is set, we queue it. As a result, we don't actually print the diffstat for the merge commit (yet), which is wrong. 3. Next we compute the diff for C. We're actually showing a patch again, so we end up in diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(), but this time we have the queued stat from step 2 waiting in our struct. We add new elements to it for C's diff, and then flush the whole thing. And we see the diffstat from M as part of C's diff, which is wrong. So triggering the bug really does require the combination of all of those options. To fix it, we can simply restore o->emitted_symbols to NULL after flushing it, so that it does not affect anything outside of diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(). This intuitively makes sense, since nobody outside of that function is going to bother flushing it, so we would not want them to write to it either. In fact, we could take this a step further and turn the local "esm" struct into a non-static variable that goes away after the function ends. However, since it contains a dynamically sized array, we benefit from amortizing the cost of allocations over many calls. So we'll leave it as static to retain that benefit. But let's push the zero-ing of esm.nr into the conditional for "if (o->emitted_symbols)" to make it clear that we do not expect esm to hold any values if we did not just try to use it. With the code as it is written now, if we did encounter such a case (which I think would be a bug), we'd silently leak those values without even bothering to display them. With this change, we'd at least eventually show them, and somebody would notice. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
