2021-05-11xdiff-interface: replace discard_hunk_line() with a flagLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-8/+0
Remove the dummy discard_hunk_line() function added in 3b40a090fd4 (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines, 2018-11-02) in favor of having a new XDL_EMIT_NO_HUNK_HDR flag, for use along with the two existing and similar XDL_EMIT_* flags. Unlike the recently amended xdiff_emit_line_fn interface which'll be called in a loop in xdl_emit_diff(), the hunk header is only emitted once. It makes more sense to pass this as a flag than provide a dummy callback because that function may be able to skip doing certain work if it knows the caller is doing nothing with the hunk header. It would be possible to do so in the case of -U0 now, but the benefit of doing so is so small that I haven't bothered. But this leaves the door open to that, and more importantly makes the API use more intuitive. The reason we're putting a flag in the gap between 1<<0 and 1<<2 is that the old 1<<1 flag was removed in 907681e940d (xdiff: drop XDL_EMIT_COMMON, 2016-02-23) without re-ordering the remaining flags.

2021-05-11pickaxe -G: terminate early on matching linesLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+4
Solve a long-standing item for "git log -Grx" of us e.g. finding "+ str" in the diff context and noting that we had a "hit", but xdiff diligently continuing to generate and spew the rest of the diff at us. This makes use of a new "early return" xdiff interface added by preceding commits. The TODO item (or, the NEEDSWORK comment) has been there since "git log -G" was implemented. See f506b8e8b5f (git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text, 2010-08-23). But now with the support added in the preceding changes to the xdiff-interface we can return early. Let's assert the behavior of that new early-return xdiff-interface by having a BUG() call here to die if it ever starts handing us needless work again.

2021-05-11xdiff-interface: allow early return from xdiff_emit_line_fnLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+17
Finish the change started in the preceding commit and allow an early return from "xdiff_emit_line_fn" callbacks, this will allows diffcore-pickaxe.c to save itself redundant work. Our xdiff interface also had the limitation of not being able to abort early since the beginning, see d9ea73e0564 (combine-diff: refactor built-in xdiff interface., 2006-04-05). Although at that time "xdiff_emit_line_fn" was called "xdiff_emit_consume_fn", and "xdiff_emit_hunk_fn" didn't exist yet. There was some work in this area of xdiff-interface.[ch] recently with 3b40a090fd4 (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines, 2018-11-02) and 7c61e25fbf1 (diff: use hunk callback for word-diff, 2018-11-02). In combination those two changes allow us to not do any work on the hunks and diff at all, but didn't change the status quo with regards to consumers that e.g. want the diff lines, but might want to abort early. Whereas now we can abort e.g. on the first "-line" of a 1000 line diff if that's all we needed. This interface is rather scary as noted in the comment to xdiff-interface.h being added here, as noted there a future change could add more exit codes, and hack xdl_emit_diff() and friends to ignore or skip things more selectively as a result. I did not see an inherent reason for why xdl_emit_{diffrec,record}() could not be changed to ferry the "xdiff_emit_line_fn" error code upwards instead of returning -1 on all "ret < 0". But doing so would require corresponding changes in xdl_emit_diff(), xdl_diff(). I didn't see any issue with narrowly doing that to accomplish what I needed here, but it would leave xdiff's own return values in an inconsistent state. Instead I've left it at returning a more conventional (for git's own codebase) 1 for an early return, and translating it (or rather, all non-zero) to -1 for xdiff's consumption. The reason for most of the "stop" complexity in xdiff_outf() is because we want to be able to abort early, but do so in a way that doesn't skip the appropriate strbuf_reset() invocations.

2021-05-11xdiff-interface: prepare for allowing early returnLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Change the function prototype of xdiff_emit_line_fn to return an "int" instead of "void". Change all of those functions to "return 0", nothing checks those return values yet, and no behavior is being changed. In subsequent commits the interface will be changed to allow early return via this new return value.

2019-05-05*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatchLibravatar Denton Liu1-5/+5
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible.

2018-11-05xdiff-interface: drop parse_hunk_header()Libravatar Jeff King1-3/+0
This function was used only for parsing the hunk headers generated by xdiff. Now that we can use hunk callbacks to get that information directly, it has outlived its usefulness. Note to anyone who wants to resurrect it: the "len" parameter was totally unused, meaning that the function could read past the end of the "line" array. In practice this never happened, because we only used it to parse xdiff's generated header lines. But it would be dangerous to use it for other cases without fixing this defect.

2018-11-05diff: avoid generating unused hunk header linesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
Some callers of xdi_diff_outf() do not look at the generated hunk header lines at all. By plugging in a no-op hunk callback, this tells xdiff not to even bother formatting them. This patch introduces a stock no-op callback and uses it with a few callers whose line callbacks explicitly ignore hunk headers (because they look only for +/- lines).

2018-11-02xdiff-interface: provide a separate consume callback for hunksLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+8
The previous commit taught xdiff to optionally provide the hunk header data to a specialized callback. But most users of xdiff actually use our more convenient xdi_diff_outf() helper, which ensures that our callbacks are always fed whole lines. Let's plumb the special hunk-callback through this interface, too. It will follow the same rule as xdiff when the hunk callback is NULL (i.e., continue to pass a stringified hunk header to the line callback). Since we add NULL to each caller, there should be no behavior change yet. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-09-28xdiff: reject files larger than ~1GBLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
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.

xdi_diff_outf() overrides the structure members of its last parameter, ignoring any value that callers pass in. It's no surprise then that all callers pass a pointer to an uninitialized structure. They also don't read it after the call, so the parameter is neither used for input nor for output. Turn it into a local variable of xdi_diff_outf().

2008-08-14xdiff-interface: hide the whole "xdiff_emit_state" business from the callerLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+2
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. With this restructuring, we lift the requirement that the caller supplied callback data structure embeds xdiff_emit_state structure as its first member.

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.
