2010-07-05xdiff: optimise for no whitespace difference when ignoring whitespace.Libravatar Dylan Reid1-1/+3
In xdl_recmatch, do the memcmp to check if the two lines are equal before checking if whitespace flags are set. If the lines are identical, then there is no need to check if they differ only in whitespace. This makes the common case (there is no whitespace difference) faster. It costs the case where lines are the same length and contain whitespace differences, but the common case is more than 20% faster.

2009-08-23xutils: Fix xdl_recmatch() on incomplete linesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-31/+49
Thell Fowler noticed that various "ignore whitespace" options to git diff do not work well on an incomplete line. The loop control of the function responsible for these bugs was extremely difficult to follow. This patch restructures the loops for three variants of "ignore whitespace" logic. The basic idea of the re-written logic is: - A loop runs while the characters from both strings we are looking at match. We declare unmatch immediately when we find something that does not match and return false from the function. We break out of the loop if we ran out of either side of the string. The way we skip spaces inside this loop varies depending on the style of ignoring whitespaces. - After the above loop breaks, we know that the parts of the strings we inspected so far match, ignoring the whitespaces. The lines can match only if the remainder consists of nothing but whitespaces. This part of the logic is shared across all three styles. The new code is more obvious and should be much easier to follow. Tested-by: Thell Fowler <git@tbfowler.name> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-08-23xutils: Fix hashing an incomplete line with whitespaces at the endLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+4
Upon seeing a whitespace, xdl_hash_record_with_whitespace() first skipped the run of whitespaces (excluding LF) that begins there, ensuring that the pointer points at the last whitespace character in the run, and assumed that the next character must be LF at the end of the line. This does not work when hashing an incomplete line, which lacks the LF at the end. Introduce "at_eol" variable that is true when either we are at the end of line (looking at LF) or at the end of an incomplete line, and use that instead throughout the code. Noticed by Thell Fowler.

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+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.

2007-03-19xdiff/xutils.c(xdl_hash_record): factor out whitespace handlingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+20
Since in at least one use case, xdl_hash_record() takes over 15% of the CPU time, it makes sense to even micro-optimize it. For many cases, no whitespace special handling is needed, and in these cases we should not even bother to check for whitespace in _every_ iteration of the loop.

2006-12-04diff -b: ignore whitespace at end of lineLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+2
This is _not_ the same as "treat eol as whitespace", since that would mean that multiple empty lines would be treated as equal to e.g. a space. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-12diff: fix 2 whitespace issuesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-17/+12
When whitespace or whitespace change was ignored, the function xdl_recmatch() returned memcmp() style differences, which is wrong, since it should return 0 on non-match. Also, there were three horrible off-by-one bugs, even leading to wrong hashes in the whitespace special handling. The issue was noticed by Ray Lehtiniemi. For good measure, this commit adds a test.

2006-06-23Teach diff about -b and -w flagsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+50
This adds -b (--ignore-space-change) and -w (--ignore-all-space) flags to diff. The main part of the patch is teaching libxdiff about it. [jc: renamed xdl_line_match() to xdl_recmatch() since the former is used for different purposes in xpatchi.c which is in the parts of the upstream source we do not use.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This reformats the change 621c53cc082299eaf69e9f2dc0274547c7d87fb0 introduced to match what upstream author implemented in libxdiff-0.21 without changing any logic (hopefully ;-). This is to help keep us in sync with the upstream. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-03-27xdiff: Show function names in hunk headers.Libravatar Mark Wooding1-3/+12
The speed of the built-in diff generator is nice; but the function names shown by `diff -p' are /really/ nice. And I hate having to choose. So, we hack xdiff to find the function names and print them. xdiff has grown a flag to say whether to dig up the function names. The builtin_diff function passes this flag unconditionally. I suppose it could parse GIT_DIFF_OPTS, but it doesn't at the moment. I've also reintroduced the `function name' into the test suite, from which it was removed in commit 3ce8f089. The function names are parsed by a particularly stupid algorithm at the moment: it just tries to find a line in the `old' file, from before the start of the hunk, whose first character looks plausible. Still, it's most definitely a start. Signed-off-by: Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-03-25built-in diff: minimum tweaksLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+10
This fixes up a couple of minor issues with the real built-in diff to be more usable: - Omit ---/+++ header unless we emit diff output; - Detect and punt binary diff like GNU does; - Honor GIT_DIFF_OPTS minimally (only -u<number> and --unified=<number> are currently supported); - Omit line count of 1 from "@@ -l,k +m,n @@" hunk header (i.e. when k == 1 or n == 1) - Adjust testsuite for the lack of -p support.

2006-03-25Use a *real* built-in diff generatorLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+265
This uses a simplified libxdiff setup to generate unified diffs _without_ doing fork/execve of GNU "diff". This has several huge advantages, for example: Before: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null real 0m24.818s user 0m13.332s sys 0m8.664s After: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null real 0m4.563s user 0m2.944s sys 0m1.580s and the fact that this should be a lot more portable (ie we can ignore all the issues with doing fork/execve under Windows). Perhaps even more importantly, this allows us to do diffs without actually ever writing out the git file contents to a temporary file (and without any of the shell quoting issues on filenames etc etc). NOTE! THIS PATCH DOES NOT DO THAT OPTIMIZATION YET! I was lazy, and the current "diff-core" code actually will always write the temp-files, because it used to be something that you simply had to do. So this current one actually writes a temp-file like before, and then reads it into memory again just to do the diff. Stupid. But if this basic infrastructure is accepted, we can start switching over diff-core to not write temp-files, which should speed things up even further, especially when doing big tree-to-tree diffs. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I should also point out a few downsides: - the libxdiff algorithm is different, and I bet GNU diff has gotten a lot more testing. And the thing is, generating a diff is not an exact science - you can get two different diffs (and you will), and they can both be perfectly valid. So it's not possible to "validate" the libxdiff output by just comparing it against GNU diff. - GNU diff does some nice eye-candy, like trying to figure out what the last function was, and adding that information to the "@@ .." line. libxdiff doesn't do that. - The libxdiff thing has some known deficiencies. In particular, it gets the "\No newline at end of file" case wrong. So this is currently for the experimental branch only. I hope Davide will help fix it. That said, I think the huge performance advantage, and the fact that it integrates better is definitely worth it. But it should go into a development branch at least due to the missing newline issue. Technical note: this is based on libxdiff-0.17, but I did some surgery to get rid of the extraneous fat - stuff that git doesn't need, and seriously cutting down on mmfile_t, which had much more capabilities than the diff algorithm either needed or used. In this version, "mmfile_t" is just a trivial <pointer,length> tuple. That said, I tried to keep the differences to simple removals, so that you can do a diff between this and the libxdiff origin, and you'll basically see just things getting deleted. Even the mmfile_t simplifications are left in a state where the diffs should be readable. Apologies to Davide, whom I'd love to get feedback on this all from (I wrote my own "fill_mmfile()" for the new simpler mmfile_t format: the old complex format had a helper function for that, but I did my surgery with the goal in mind that eventually we _should_ just do mmfile_t mf; buf = read_sha1_file(sha1, type, &size); mf->ptr = buf; mf->size = size; .. use "mf" directly .. which was really a nightmare with the old "helpful" mmfile_t, and really is that easy with the new cut-down interfaces). [ Btw, as any hawk-eye can see from the diff, this was actually generated with itself, so it is "self-hosting". That's about all the testing it has gotten, along with the above kernel diff, which eye-balls correctly, but shows the newline issue when you double-check it with "git-apply" ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
