Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in
attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch
simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive
further updates to use the right index instead of the_index.
There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some
more explanation.
Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip
diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT
read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by
falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now
propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault
somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index.
The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and
only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that:
while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be
assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is
used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we
delete use_index. So this has to be done later.

This adds xfuncname and word_regex patterns for golang, a quite
popular programming language. It also includes test cases for the
xfuncname regex (t4018) and updated documentation.
The xfuncname regex finds functions, structs and interfaces. Although
the Go language prohibits the opening brace from being on its own
line, the regex does not makes it mandatory, to be able to match
`func` statements like this:
func foo(bar int,
baz int) {
}
This is covered by the test case t4018/golang-long-func.
The word_regex pattern finds identifiers, integers, floats, complex
numbers and operators, according to the go specification.

The traditional API to check attributes is to prepare an N-element
array of "struct git_attr_check" and pass N and the array to the
function "git_check_attr()" as arguments.
In preparation to revamp the API to pass a single structure, in
which these N elements are held, rename the type used for these
individual array elements to "struct attr_check_item" and rename
the function to "git_check_attrs()".

CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern.
It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining
what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters
(in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented
by the test t/t4018/css-rule.
The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS
selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#'
character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature
of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and
".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are
selecting a class.
Logic behind the "pattern" regex is:
1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties)
2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line

The hunk header pattern 'cpp' is intended for C and C++ source code, but
it is actually not particularly useful for the latter, and even misses
some use-cases for the former.
The parts of the pattern have the following flaws:
- The first part matches an identifier followed immediately by a colon
and arbitrary text and is intended to reject goto labels and C++
access specifiers (public, private, protected). But this pattern also
rejects C++ constructs, which look like this:
MyClass::MyClass()
MyClass::~MyClass()
MyClass::Item MyClass::Find(...
- The second part matches an identifier followed by a list of qualified
names (i.e. identifiers separated by the C++ scope operator '::')
separated by space or '*' followed by an opening parenthesis (with
space between the tokens). It matches function declarations like
struct item* get_head(...
int Outer::Inner::Func(...
Since the pattern requires at least two identifiers, GNU-style
function definitions are ignored:
void
func(...
Moreover, since the pattern does not allow punctuation other than '*',
the following C++ constructs are not recognized:
. template definitions:
template<class T> int func(T arg)
. functions returning references:
const string& get_message()
. functions returning templated types:
vector<int> foo()
. operator definitions:
Value operator+(Value l, Value r)
- The third part of the pattern finally matches compound definitions.
But it forgets about unions and namespaces, and also skips single-line
definitions
struct random_iterator_tag {};
because no semicolon can occur on the line.
Change the first pattern to require a colon at the end of the line
(except for trailing space and comments), so that it does not reject
constructor or destructor definitions.
Notice that all interesting anchor points begin with an identifier or
keyword. But since there is a large variety of syntactical constructs
after the first "word", the simplest is to require only this word and
accept everything else. Therefore, this boils down to a line that begins
with a letter or underscore (optionally preceded by the C++ scope
operator '::' to accept functions returning a type anchored at the
global namespace). Replace the second and third part by a single pattern
that picks such a line.
This has the following desirable consequence:
- All constructs mentioned above are recognized.
and the following likely desirable consequences:
- Definitions of global variables and typedefs are recognized:
int num_entries = 0;
extern const char* help_text;
typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring;
- Commonly used marco-ized boilerplate code is recognized:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CCanvas,CWnd)
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyStruct)
PATTERNS("tex",...)
(The last one is from this very patch.)
but also the following possibly undesirable consequence:
- When a label is not on a line by itself (except for a comment) it is
no longer rejected, but can appear as a hunk header if it occurs at
the beginning of a line:
next:;
IMO, the benefits of the change outweigh the (possible) regressions by a
large margin.

When we parse userdiff config, we generally assume that
diff.name.key
will affect the "key" value of the "name" driver. However,
without confirming that the key is a valid userdiff key, we
may accidentally conflict with the ancient "diff.color.*"
namespace. The current code is careful not to even create a
driver struct if we do not see a key that is known by the
diff-driver code.
However, this carefulness is unnecessary; the default driver
with no keys set behaves exactly the same as having no
driver at all. We can simply set up the driver struct as
soon as we see we have a config key that looks like a
driver. This makes the code a bit more readable.

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.

This function actually does two things:

Only part (1) requires the filespec object, and some callers

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
