2006-09-02Trace into a file or an open fd and refactor tracing code.Libravatar Christian Couder1-0/+25
If GIT_TRACE is set to an absolute path (starting with a '/' character), we interpret this as a file path and we trace into it. Also if GIT_TRACE is set to an integer value greater than 1 and lower than 10, we interpret this as an open fd value and we trace into it. Note that this behavior is not compatible with the previous one. We also trace whole messages using one write(2) call to make sure messages from processes do net get mixed up in the middle. This patch makes it possible to get trace information when running "make test". Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-21Add write_or_die(), a helper functionLibravatar Rene Scharfe1-0/+20
The little helper write_or_die() won't come back with bad news about full disks or broken pipes. It either succeeds or terminates the program, making additional error handling unnecessary. This patch adds the new function and uses it to replace two similar ones (the one in tar-tree originally has been copied from cat-file btw.). I chose to add the fd parameter which both lacked to make write_or_die() just as flexible as write() and thus suitable for lib-ification. There is a regression: error messages emitted by this function don't show the program name, while the replaced two functions did. That's acceptable, I think; a lot of other functions do the same.
