2018-10-29wildmatch: change behavior of "foo**bar" in WM_PATHNAME modeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+0
In WM_PATHNAME mode (or FNM_PATHNAME), '*' does not match '/' and '**' can but only in three patterns: - '**/' matches zero or more leading directories - '/**/' matches zero or more directories in between - '/**' matches zero or more trailing directories/files When '**' is present but not in one of these patterns, the current behavior is consider the pattern invalid and stop matching. In other words, 'foo**bar' never matches anything, whatever you throw at it. This behavior is arguably a bit confusing partly because we can't really tell the user their pattern is invalid so that they can fix it. So instead, tolerate it and make '**' act like two regular '*'s (which is essentially the same as a single asterisk). This behavior seems more predictable.

2017-06-23wildmatch: remove unused wildopts parameterLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-5/+1
Remove the unused wildopts placeholder struct from being passed to all wildmatch() invocations, or rather remove all the boilerplate NULL parameters. This parameter was added back in commit 9b3497cab9 ("wildmatch: rename constants and update prototype", 2013-01-01) as a placeholder for future use. Over 4 years later nothing has made use of it, let's just remove it. It can be added in the future if we find some reason to start using such a parameter.

2013-01-01wildmatch: support "no FNM_PATHNAME" modeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
So far, wildmatch() has always honoured directory boundary and there was no way to turn it off. Make it behave more like fnmatch() by requiring all callers that want the FNM_PATHNAME behaviour to pass that in the equivalent flag WM_PATHNAME. Callers that do not specify WM_PATHNAME will get wildcards like ? and * in their patterns matched against '/', just like not passing FNM_PATHNAME to fnmatch().

2013-01-01wildmatch: rename constants and update prototypeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-7/+15
- All exported constants now have a prefix WM_ - Do not rely on FNM_* constants, use the WM_ counterparts - Remove TRUE and FALSE to follow Git's coding style - While at it, turn flags type from int to unsigned int - Add an (unused yet) argument to carry extra information so that we don't have to change the prototype again later when we need to pass other stuff to wildmatch Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-10-15wildmatch: adjust "**" behaviorLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+6
Standard wildmatch() sees consecutive asterisks as "*" that can also match slashes. But that may be hard to explain to users as "abc/**/def" can match "abcdef", "abcxyzdef", "abc/def", "abc/x/def", "abc/x/y/def"... This patch changes wildmatch so that users can do - "**/def" -> all paths ending with file/directory 'def' - "abc/**" - equivalent to "/abc/" - "abc/**/def" -> "abc/x/def", "abc/x/y/def"... - otherwise consider the pattern malformed if "**" is found Basically the magic of "**" only remains if it's wrapped around by slashes.

One place less to worry about thread safety. Also combine wildmatch and iwildmatch into one. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
