2018-08-29convert "oidcmp() == 0" to oideq()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run, give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete noop with respect to the generated code. The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances here). This patch was generated almost entirely by the included coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()" separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the two are treated equivalently. I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

2018-05-16object-store: move object access functions to object-store.hLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+1
This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less overwhelming to read. In particular, this moves: - read_object_file - oid_object_info - write_object_file As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h. In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later when we have better tooling for it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-09-26Merge branch 'js/regexec-buf'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+4
Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND extension. * js/regexec-buf: regex: use regexec_buf() regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a non NUL-terminated string regex: -G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails
2016-09-21regex: use regexec_buf()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-9/+4
The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings. We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated). Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where `git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers, though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings, or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling regexec(3). By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has become much cleaner. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-09-28xdiff: reject files larger than ~1GBLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
The xdiff code is not prepared to handle extremely large files. It uses "int" in many places, which can overflow if we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in our input files. This can cause us to produce incorrect diffs, with no indication that the output is wrong. Or worse, we may even underallocate a buffer whose size is the result of an overflowing addition. We're much better off to tell the user that we cannot diff or merge such a large file. This patch covers both cases, but in slightly different ways: 1. For merging, we notice the large file and cleanly fall back to a binary merge (which is effectively "we cannot merge this"). 2. For diffing, we make the binary/text distinction much earlier, and in many different places. For this case, we'll use the xdi_diff as our choke point, and reject any diff there before it hits the xdiff code. This means in most cases we'll die() immediately after. That's not ideal, but in practice we shouldn't generally hit this code path unless the user is trying to do something tricky. We already consider files larger than core.bigfilethreshold to be binary, so this code would only kick in when that is circumvented (either by bumping that value, or by using a .gitattribute to mark a file as diffable). In other words, we can avoid being "nice" here, because there is already nice code that tries to do the right thing. We are adding the suspenders to the nice code's belt, so notice when it has been worked around (both to protect the user from malicious inputs, and because it is better to die() than generate bogus output). The maximum size was chosen after experimenting with feeding large files to the xdiff code. It's just under a gigabyte, which leaves room for two obvious cases: - a diff3 merge conflict result on files of maximum size X could be 3*X plus the size of the markers, which would still be only about 3G, which fits in a 32-bit int. - some of the diff code allocates arrays of one int per record. Even if each file consists only of blank lines, then a file smaller than 1G will have fewer than 1G records, and therefore the int array will fit in 4G. Since the limit is arbitrary anyway, I chose to go under a gigabyte, to leave a safety margin (e.g., we would not want to overflow by allocating "(records + 1) * sizeof(int)" or similar.

Generally, trailing space is removed from the string matched by the xfuncname patterns. The exception is when the matched string exceeds the length of the fixed-size buffer that it will be copied in to.

2008-09-20diff: fix "multiple regexp" semantics to find hunk header commentLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+10
When multiple regular expressions are concatenated with "\n", they were traditionally AND'ed together, and only a line that matches _all_ of them is taken as a match. This however is unwieldy when multiple regexp feature is used to specify alternatives. This fixes the semantics to take the first match. A nagative pattern, if matches, makes the line to fail as before. A match with a positive pattern will be the final match, and what it captures in $1 is used as the hunk header comment. We could write alternatives using "|" in ERE, but the machinery can only use captured $1 as the hunk header comment (or $0 if there is no match in $1), so you cannot write: "junk ( A | B ) | garbage ( C | D )" and expect both "junk" and "garbage" to get stripped with the existing code. With this fix, you can write it as: "junk ( A | B ) \n garbage ( C | D )" and the way capture works would match the user expectation more naturally. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This further enhances xdi_diff_outf() interface so that it takes two common parameters: the callback function that processes one line at a time, and a pointer to its application specific callback data structure. xdi_diff_outf() creates its own "xdiff_emit_state" structure and stashes these two away inside it, which is used by the lowest level output function in the xdiff_outf() callchain, consume_one(), to call back to the application layer.

2008-02-22Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.Libravatar Jim Meyering1-2/+1
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests. E.g., it replaces code like this: if (some_expression) free (some_expression); with the now-equivalent: free (some_expression); It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL) to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test. Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following: git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \ perl -0x3b -pi -e \ 's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s' Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like "if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like that in git sources. Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the affected "if"-statement has a matching "else". E.g., it would transform this if (x) free (x); else foo (); into this: free (x); else foo (); There were none of those here, either. If you're interested in automating detection of the useless tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib: [it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S option to make it detect free-like functions with different names] http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=build-aux/useless-if-before-free Addendum: Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

The patch was actually "correct" in a (rather limited) technical sense, but the context at the end was missing because while the trim_common_tail() code made sure to keep enough common context to allow a valid diff to be generated, the diff machinery itself could decide that it could generate the diff differently than the "obvious" solution. Thee sad fact is that the git optimization (which is very important for "git blame", which needs no context), is only really valid for that one case where we really don't need any context. [jc: since this is shared with "git diff -U0" codepath, context recovery to the end of line needs to be done even for zero context case.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-16Re-re-re-fix common tail optimizationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
We need to be extra careful recovering the removed common section, so that we do not break context nor the changed incomplete line (i.e. the last line that does not end with LF). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-16trim_common_tail: brown paper bag fix.Libravatar Jeff King1-5/+4
The recovered context lines were not LF terminated due to off-by-one error, which also caused the outer loop to count the number of recovered lines to terminate after running only once. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-14xdiff tail trimming: use correct type.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+2
Inside xdiff library, the number of context lines is represented in long, not int. Noticed by Peter Baumann. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-13xdi_diff: trim common trailing linesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+33
This implements earlier Linus's optimization to trim common lines at the end before passing them down to low level xdiff interface for all of our xdiff users. We could later enhance this to also trim common leading lines, but that would need tweaking the output function to add the number of lines trimmed at the beginning to line numbers that appear in the hunk headers.

2007-12-13xdl_diff: identify call sites.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
This inserts a new function xdi_diff() that currently does not do anything other than calling the underlying xdl_diff() to the callchain of current callers of xdl_diff() function. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-07-06Per-path attribute based hunk header selection.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+71
This makes"diff -p" hunk headers customizable via gitattributes mechanism. It is based on Johannes's earlier patch that allowed to define a single regexp to be used for everything. The mechanism to arrive at the regexp that is used to define hunk header is the same as other use of gitattributes. You assign an attribute, funcname (because "diff -p" typically uses the name of the function the patch is about as the hunk header), a simple string value. This can be one of the names of built-in pattern (currently, "java" is defined) or a custom pattern name, to be looked up from the configuration file. (in .gitattributes) *.java funcname=java *.perl funcname=perl (in .git/config) [funcname] java = ... # ugly and complicated regexp to override the built-in one. perl = ... # another ugly and complicated regexp to define a new one.

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.
