2012-02-07drop odd return value semantics from userdiff_configLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+6
When the userdiff_config function was introduced in be58e70 (diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code, 2008-10-05), it used a return value convention unlike any other config callback. Like other callbacks, it used "-1" to signal error. But it returned "1" to indicate that it found something, and "0" otherwise; other callbacks simply returned "0" to indicate that no error occurred. This distinction was necessary at the time, because the userdiff namespace overlapped slightly with the color configuration namespace. So "diff.color.foo" could mean "the 'foo' slot of diff coloring" or "the 'foo' component of the "color" userdiff driver". Because the color-parsing code would die on an unknown color slot, we needed the userdiff code to indicate that it had matched the variable, letting us bypass the color-parsing code entirely. Later, in 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration, 2009-12-12), the color-parsing code learned to silently ignore unknown slots. This means we no longer need to protect userdiff-matched variables from reaching the color-parsing code. We can therefore change the userdiff_config calling convention to a more normal one. This drops some code from each caller, which is nice. But more importantly, it reduces the cognitive load for readers who may wonder why userdiff_config is unlike every other config callback. There's no need to add a new test confirming that this works; t4020 already contains a test that sets diff.color.external.

2011-05-23refactor get_textconv to not require diff_filespecLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
This function actually does two things: 1. Load the userdiff driver for the filespec. 2. Decide whether the driver has a textconv component, and initialize the textconv cache if applicable. Only part (1) requires the filespec object, and some callers may not have a filespec at all. So let's split them it into two functions, and put part (2) with the userdiff code, which is a better fit.

2011-05-23userdiff/perl: tighten BEGIN/END block pattern to reject here-doc delimitersLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
A naive method of treating BEGIN/END blocks with a brace on the second line as diff/grep funcname context involves also matching unrelated lines that consist of all-caps letters: sub foo { print <<'EOF' text goes here ... EOF ... rest of foo ... } That's not so great, because it means that "git diff" and "git grep --show-function" would write "=EOF" or "@@ EOF" as context instead of a more useful reminder like "@@ sub foo {". To avoid this, tighten the pattern to only match the special block names that perl accepts (namely BEGIN, END, INIT, CHECK, UNITCHECK, AUTOLOAD, and DESTROY). The list is taken from perl's toke.c.

2011-05-21userdiff/perl: anchor "sub" and "package" patterns on the leftLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
The userdiff funcname mechanism has no concept of nested scopes --- instead, "git diff" and "git grep --show-function" simply label the diff header with the most recent matching line. Unfortunately that means text following a subroutine in a POD section: =head1 DESCRIPTION You might use this facility like so: sub example { foo; } Now, having said that, let's say more about the facility. Blah blah blah ... etc etc. gets the subroutine name instead of the POD header in its diff/grep funcname header, making it harder to get oriented when reading a diff without enough context. The fix is simple: anchor the funcname syntax to the left margin so nested subroutines and packages like this won't get picked up. (The builtin C++ funcname pattern already does the same thing.) This means the userdiff driver will misparse the idiom { my $static; sub foo { ... use $static ... } } but I think that's worth it; we can revisit this later if the userdiff mechanism learns to keep track of the beginning and end of nested scopes.

2011-01-18userdiff: simplify word-diff safeguardLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-24/+16
git's diff-words support has a detail that can be a little dangerous: any text not matched by a given language's tokenization pattern is treated as whitespace and changes in such text would go unnoticed. Therefore each of the built-in regexes allows a special token type consisting of a single non-whitespace character [^[:space:]]. To make sure UTF-8 sequences remain human readable, the builtin regexes also have a special token type for runs of bytes with the high bit set. In English, non-ASCII characters are usually isolated so this is analogous to the [^[:space:]] pattern, except it matches a single _multibyte_ character despite use of the C locale. Unfortunately it is easy to make typos or forget entirely to include these catch-all token types when adding support for new languages (see v1.7.3.5~16, userdiff: fix typo in ruby and python word regexes, 2010-12-18). Avoid this by including them automatically within the PATTERNS and IPATTERN macros. While at it, change the UTF-8 sequence token type to match exactly one non-ASCII multi-byte character, rather than an arbitrary run of them.

2010-12-27diff: funcname and word patterns for perlLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+15
The default function name discovery already works quite well for Perl code... with the exception of here-documents (or rather their ending). sub foo { print <<END here-document END return 1; } The default funcname pattern treats the unindented END line as a function declaration and puts it in the @@ line of diff and "grep --show-function" output. With a little knowledge of perl syntax, we can do better. You can try it out by adding "*.perl diff=perl" to the gitattributes file.

2010-05-27diff: Support visibility modifiers in the PHP hunk header regexpLibravatar Björn Steinbrink1-1/+3
Starting with PHP5, class methods can have a visibility modifier, which caused the methods not to be matched by the existing regexp, so extend the regexp to match those modifiers. And while we're at it, allow the "static" modifier as well. Since the "static" modifier can appear either before or after the visibility modifier, let's just allow any number of modifiers to appear in any order, as that simplifies the regexp and shouldn't cause any false positives.

2010-04-02diff: cache textconv outputLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead can add up for something like "git log -p". This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver defined in gitattributes. Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true. In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files changed and a textconv to show their exif tags: [before] $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m13.724s user 0m12.057s sys 0m1.624s [after, first run] $ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m14.252s user 0m12.197s sys 0m1.800s [after, subsequent runs] $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m0.352s user 0m0.148s sys 0m0.200s So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.

2009-06-18avoid exponential regex match for java and objc function namesLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-2/+3
In the old regex ^[ \t]*(([ \t]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*){2,}[ \t]*\([^;]*)$ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you can backtrack arbitrarily from [A-Za-z_0-9]* into [A-Za-z_], thus causing an exponential number of backtracks. Ironically it also causes the regex not to work as intended; for example "catch" can match the underlined part of the regex, the first repetition matching "c" and the second matching "atch". The replacement regex avoids this problem, because it makes sure that at least a space/tab is eaten on each repetition. In other words, a suffix of a repetition can never be a prefix of the next repetition. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

If a regex is given on the command line, it overrides the driver's setting.

2008-10-26userdiff: require explicitly allowing textconvLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+1
Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate them in things like format-patch. This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing). Because both text conversion and external diffing are controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the "plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the config. This was an attempt to control the same thing, but suffered from being too coarse-grained. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-10-18diff: add filter for converting binary to textLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
When diffing binary files, it is sometimes nice to see the differences of a canonical text form rather than either a binary patch or simply "binary files differ." Until now, the only option for doing this was to define an external diff command to perform the diff. This was a lot of work, since the external command needed to take care of doing the diff itself (including mode changes), and lost the benefit of git's colorization and other options. This patch adds a text conversion option, which converts a file to its canonical format before performing the diff. This is less flexible than an arbitrary external diff, but is much less work to set up. For example: $ echo '*.jpg diff=exif' >>.gitattributes $ git config diff.exif.textconv exiftool $ git config diff.exif.binary false allows one to see jpg diffs represented by the text output of exiftool.

2008-10-18diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binaryLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+16
The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It can say one of three things: 1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not (i.e., diff or !diff) 2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script) 3. this file should use particular funcname patterns (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex) Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses, since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g., an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the file is binary). However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo indicates that the file is definitely text. This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true. This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling code had to know more about whether attributes were false, true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations just by passing back a driver struct. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2008-10-18diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing codeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+160
Both sets of code assume that one specifies a diff profile as a gitattribute via the "diff=foo" attribute. They then pull information about that profile from the config as diff.foo.*. The code for each is currently completely separate from the other, which has several disadvantages: - there is duplication as we maintain code to create and search the separate lists of external drivers and funcname patterns - it is difficult to add new profile options, since it is unclear where they should go - the code is difficult to follow, as we rely on the "check if this file is binary" code to find the funcname pattern as a side effect. This is the first step in refactoring the binary-checking code. This patch factors out these diff profiles into "userdiff" drivers. A file with "diff=foo" uses the "foo" driver, which is specified by a single struct. Note that one major difference between the two pieces of code is that the funcname patterns are always loaded, whereas external drivers are loaded only for the "git diff" porcelain; the new code takes care to retain that situation.
