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.

In very obscure cases, a merge can hit an unexpected code path (where the
original code went as far as saying that this was a bug). This failing
merge was noticed by Alexandre Juillard.
The problem is that the original file contains something like this:
-- snip --
two non-empty lines
before two empty lines
after two empty lines
-- snap --
and this snippet is reduced to _one_ empty line in _both_ new files.
However, it is ambiguous as to which hunk takes the empty line: the first
or the second one?
Indeed in Alexandre's example files, the xdiff algorithm attributes the
empty line to the first hunk in one case, and to the second hunk in the
other case.
(Trimming down the example files _changes_ that behaviour!)
Thus, the call to xdl_merge_cmp_lines() has no chance to realize that the
change is actually identical in both new files. Therefore,
xdl_refine_conflicts() finds an empty diff script, which was not expected
there, because (the original author of xdl_merge() thought)
xdl_merge_cmp_lines() would catch that case earlier.

The function xdl_refine_conflicts() tries to break down huge
conflicts by doing a diff on the conflicting regions. However,
this does not make sense when one side is empty.
Worse, when one side is not only empty, but after EOF, the code
accessed unmapped memory.
Noticed by Luben Tuikov, Shawn Pearce and Alexandre Julliard, the
latter providing a test case.

Suppose you have changes in new1 to the original lines 10-20,
and changes in new2 to the original lines 15-25, then the
changes to 10-25 conflict. But it is possible that the next
changes in new1 still overlap with this change to new2.
So, in the next iteration we have to look at the same change
to new2 again.
The old code tried to be a bit too clever. The new code is
shorter and more to the point: do not fiddle with the ranges
at all.
Also, xdl_append_merge() tries harder to combine conflicts.
This is necessary, because with the above simplification,
some conflicts would not be recognized as conflicts otherwise:
In the above scenario, it is possible that there is no other
change to new1. Absent the combine logic, the change in new2
would be recorded _again_, but as a non-conflict.

This new function implements the functionality of RCS merge, but
in-memory. It returns < 0 on error, otherwise the number of conflicts.
Finding the conflicting lines can be a very expensive task. You can
control the eagerness of this algorithm:
- a level value of 0 means that all overlapping changes are treated
as conflicts,
- a value of 1 means that if the overlapping changes are identical,
it is not treated as a conflict.
- If you set level to 2, overlapping changes will be analyzed, so that
almost identical changes will not result in huge conflicts. Rather,
only the conflicting lines will be shown inside conflict markers.
With each increasing level, the algorithm gets slower, but more accurate.
Note that the code for level 2 depends on the simple definition of
mmfile_t specific to git, and therefore it will be harder to port that
to LibXDiff.

In xemit.c:xdl_emit_diff() a buffer for showing the function name as
commentary is allocated; this buffer was 40 characters. This is a bit
small; particularly for C++ function names where there is often an
identical prefix (like void LongNamespace::LongClassName) on multiple
functions, which makes the context the same everywhere. In other words
the context is useless. This patch increases that buffer to 80
characters - which may still not be enough, but is better

Fix hash function in xdiff library

Jim Mayering noticed that xdiff library took insanely long time
when comparing files with many identical lines.
This was because the hash function used in the library is broken
on 64-bit architectures and caused too many collisions.

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.

This fairly trivial patch adds a new XDL_EMIT_xxx flag to tell libxdiff
that we don't want to generate the _diff_ between two files, we want to
see the lines that are _common_ to two files.
So when you set XDL_EMIT_COMMON, xdl_diff() will do everything exactly
like it used to do, but the output records it generates just contain the
lines that aren't part of the diff.
This is for doing things like generating the common base case for a file
that was added in both branches.

Compiling this module gave the following warnings (some double dutch!):
xdiff/xdiffi.c: In functie 'xdl_recs_cmp':
xdiff/xdiffi.c:298: let op: 'spl.i1' may be used uninitialized in this function
xdiff/xdiffi.c:298: let op: 'spl.i2' may be used uninitialized in this function
xdiff/xdiffi.c:219: let op: 'fbest1' may be used uninitialized in this function
xdiff/xdiffi.c:219: let op: 'bbest1' may be used uninitialized in this function
A superficial tracking of their usage, without deeper knowledge about the
algorithm, indeed confirms that there are code paths on which these
variables will be used uninitialized. In practice these code paths might never
be reached, but then these fixes will not change the algorithm. If these
code paths are ever reached we now at least have a predictable outcome. And
should the very small performance impact of these initializations be
noticeable, then they should at least be replaced by comments why certain
code paths will never be reached.
Some extra initializations in this patch now fix the warnings.

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.

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.

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" ]
