2016-09-07usage: add get_error_routine() and get_warn_routine()Libravatar Christian Couder1-0/+10
Let's make it possible to get the current error_routine and warn_routine, so that we can store them before using set_error_routine() or set_warn_routine() to use new ones. This way we will be able put back the original routines, when we are done with using new ones.

2016-08-31error_errno: use constant return similar to error()Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Commit e208f9c (make error()'s constant return value more visible, 2012-12-15) introduced some macro trickery to make the constant return from error() more visible to callers, which in turn can help gcc produce better warnings (and possibly even better code). Later, fd1d672 (usage.c: add warning_errno() and error_errno(), 2016-05-08) introduced another variant, and subsequent commits converted some uses of error() to error_errno(), losing the magic from e208f9c for those sites. As a result, compiling vcs-svn/svndiff.c with "gcc -O3" produces -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives (at least with gcc 6.2.0). Let's give error_errno() the same treatment, which silences these warnings. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-08-11vreportf: avoid intermediate bufferLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+12
When we call "die(fmt, args...)", we end up in vreportf with two pieces of information: 1. The prefix "fatal: " 2. The original fmt and va_list of args. We format item (2) into a temporary buffer, and then fprintf the prefix and the temporary buffer, along with a newline. This has the unfortunate side effect of truncating any error messages that are longer than 4096 bytes. Instead, let's use separate calls for the prefix and newline, letting us hand the item (2) directly to vfprintf. This is essentially undoing d048a96 (print warning/error/fatal messages in one shot, 2007-11-09), which tried to have the whole output end up in a single `write` call. But we can address this instead by explicitly requesting line-buffering for the output handle, and by making sure that the buffer is empty before we start (so that outputting the prefix does not cause a flush due to hitting the buffer limit). We may still break the output into two writes if the content is larger than our buffer, but there's not much we can do there; depending on the stdio implementation, that might have happened even with a single fprintf call.

2015-08-11vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandlesLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+9
The vreportf function always goes to stderr, but run-command wants child errors to go to the parent's original stderr. To solve this, commit a5487dd duplicates the stderr fd and installs die and error handlers to direct the output appropriately (which later turned into the vwritef function). This has two downsides, though: - we make multiple calls to write(), which contradicts the "write at once" logic from d048a96 (print warning/error/fatal messages in one shot, 2007-11-09). - the custom handlers basically duplicate the normal handlers. They're only a few lines of code, but we should not have to repeat the magic "exit(128)", for example. We can solve the first by using fdopen() on the duplicated descriptor. We can't pass this to vreportf, but we could introduce a new vreportf_to to handle it. However, to fix the second problem, we instead introduce a new "set_error_handle" function, which lets the normal vreportf calls output to a handle besides stderr. Thus we can get rid of our custom handlers entirely, and just ask the regular handlers to output to our new descriptor. And as vwritef has no more callers, it can just go away.

2013-04-19Merge branch 'jk/a-thread-only-dies-once'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+14
A regression fix for the logic to detect die() handler triggering itself recursively. * jk/a-thread-only-dies-once: run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checks
2013-04-16usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checksLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+14
When any git code calls die or die_errno, we use a counter to detect recursion into the die functions from any of the helper functions. However, such a simple counter is not good enough for threaded programs, which may call die from a sub-thread, killing only the sub-thread (but incrementing the counter for everyone). Rather than try to deal with threads ourselves here, let's just allow callers to plug in their own recursion-detection function. This is similar to how we handle the die routine (the caller plugs in a die routine which may kill only the sub-thread).

2012-12-15make error()'s constant return value more visibleLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When git is compiled with "gcc -Wuninitialized -O3", some inlined calls provide an additional opportunity for the compiler to do static analysis on variable initialization. For example, with two functions like this: int get_foo(int *foo) { if (something_that_might_fail() < 0) return error("unable to get foo"); *foo = 0; return 0; } void some_fun(void) { int foo; if (get_foo(&foo) < 0) return -1; printf("foo is %d\n", foo); } If get_foo() is not inlined, then when compiling some_fun, gcc sees only that a pointer to the local variable is passed, and must assume that it is an out parameter that is initialized after get_foo returns. However, when get_foo() is inlined, the compiler may look at all of the code together and see that some code paths in get_foo() do not initialize the variable. As a result, it prints a warning. But what the compiler can't see is that error() always returns -1, and therefore we know that either we return early from some_fun, or foo ends up initialized, and the code is safe. The warning is a false positive. If we can make the compiler aware that error() will always return -1, it can do a better job of analysis. The simplest method would be to inline the error() function. However, this doesn't work, because gcc will not inline a variadc function. We can work around this by defining a macro. This relies on two gcc extensions: 1. Variadic macros (these are present in C99, but we do not rely on that). 2. Gcc treats the "##" paste operator specially between a comma and __VA_ARGS__, which lets our variadic macro work even if no format parameters are passed to error(). Since we are using these extra features, we hide the macro behind an #ifdef. This is OK, though, because our goal was just to help gcc.

2012-11-15usage.c: detect recursion in die routines and bail out immediatelyLibravatar Brandon Casey1-0/+15

2009-11-22Fix truncated usage messagesLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-1/+1
The usage messages for some commands (such as 'git diff-tree') are truncated because they don't fit in a fixed buffer of 1024 bytes. It would be tempting to eliminate the buffer and the problem once and for all by doing the output in three steps, but doing so could (according to commit d048a96e) increase the likelyhood of messing up the display. So we just increase the size of the buffer. Signed-off-by: Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-11-10Introduce usagef() that takes a printf-style formatLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+13
Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing their usage messages. An option is to change usage() itself also be like printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn(). But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives diagnostics depending on the situation. Indeed, the majority of strings given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings. If we were to make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have "%s" as their first argument. So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use it.

2005-10-01[PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the "git-update-index" call, make it exit if it fails, and show the error. In order to do this, use the "-q" flag (to ignore not-up-to-date files) and add a new "--unmerged" flag that allows unmerged entries in the index without any errors. This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually modified, and makes sure that we exit with an understandable error message if the index is corrupt or unreadable. "read_cache()" no longer returns an error for the caller to check. Finally, make die() and usage() exit with recognizable error codes, if we ever want to check the failure reason in scripts.
