Now that #1785 is merged, git_odb_stream_finalize_write() calculates the object id before invoking the odb backend.
This commit gives a chance to the backend to check if it already knows this object.
Previously, `git_object_read()`, `git_object_read_prefix()` and
`git_object_exists()` were implementing an auto refresh logic. When the
expected object couldn't be found in any backend, a call to
`git_odb_refresh()` was triggered and the lookup was once again performed
against all backends.
This commit removes this auto-refresh logic from the odb layer and pushes
it down into the pack-backend (as it's the only one currently exposing
a `refresh()` endpoint).
If none of the backends support direct writes and we must stream the
whole file, we already know what the object's id should be; so use the
stream's functions directly, bypassing the frontend's hashing and
overwriting of our existing id.
The frontend is in charge of calculating the id of the objects. Thus
the backends should treat it as a read-only value. The positioning in
the function signature made it seem as though it was an output
parameter.
Make the id const and move it from the front to behind the subject
(backend or stream).
Hash the data as it's coming into the stream and tell the backend what
its name is when finalizing the write. This makes it consistent with
the way a plain git_odb_write() performs the write.
This is in preparation for moving the hashing to the frontend, which
requires us to handle the incoming data before passing it to the
backend's stream.
By zeroing out the memory when we free larger objects (i.e. those
that serve as collections of other data, such as repos, odb, refdb),
I'm hoping that it will be easier for libgit2 bindings to find
errors in their object management code.
There are some cases, particularly where no loaded ODB backends
support a particular operation, where we would return an error
code without having set an error. This catches those cases and
reports that no ODB backends support the operation in question.
This adds create and free callback to the git_objects_table so
that more of the creation and destruction of objects can be table
driven instead of using switch statements. This also makes the
semantics of certain object creation functions consistent so that
we can make better use of function pointers. This also fixes a
theoretical error case where an object allocation fails and we
end up storing NULL into the cache.
This moves some of the odb_backend stuff that is related to the
internals of an odb_backend implementation into include/git2/sys.
Some of the stuff related to streaming I left in include/git2
because it seemed like it would be reasonably needed by a normal
user who wanted to stream objects into and out of the ODB.
Also, I added APIs for traversing the list of backends so that
some of the tests would not need to access ODB internals.
Currently, the odb cache has a fixed size of 128 slots as defined by
GIT_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE. Allow users to set the size of the cache via
git_libgit2_opts().
Fixes#1035.
Implicit type conversion argument of function to size_t type
Suspicious sequence of types castings: size_t -> int -> size_t
Consider reviewing the expression of the 'A = B == C' kind. The expression is calculated as following: 'A = (B == C)'
Unsigned type is never < 0
All the ODB backends have a specific refresh interface. When reading an
object, first we attempt every single backend: if the read fails, then
we refresh all the backends and retry the read one more time to see if
the object has appeared.
The new API allows us to read the object bit by bit from the packfile,
instead of needing it all at once in the packfile. This also allows us
to hash the object as it comes in from the network instead of having
to try to read it all and failing repeatedly for larger objects.
This is only the first step, but it already shows huge improvements
when dealing with objects over a few megabytes in size. It reduces the
memory needs in some cases, but delta objects still need to be
completely in memory and the old inefficent method is still used for
that.
Fixed some minor `git_repository_hashfile` issues:
- Fixed incorrect doc (saying that repo could be NULL)
- Added checking of object type value to acceptable ones
- Added more tests for various parameter permutations
