When writing a configuration file, we want to take a lock on the
new file (eg, `config.lock`) before opening the configuration file
(`config`) for reading so that we can prevent somebody from changing
the contents underneath us.
Add a test that exposes a bug in config_write.
It is valid to have multiple separate headers for the same config section, but
config_write will exit after finding the first matching section in certain
situations.
This test proves that config_write will duplicate a variable that already
exists instead of overwriting it if the variable is defined under a duplicate
section header.
When updating a configuration file, we want to copy the old data
from the file to preserve comments and funny whitespace, instead
of writing it in some "canonical" format. Thus, we keep a
pointer to the start of the line and the line length to preserve
these things we don't care to rewrite.
Previously we would try to be clever when writing the configuration
file and try to stop parsing (and simply copy the rest of the old
file) when we either found the value we were trying to write,
or when we left the section that value was in, the assumption being
that there was no more work to do.
Regrettably, you can have another section with the same name later
in the file, and we must cope with that gracefully, thus we read the
whole file in order to write a new file.
Now, writing a file looks even more than reading. Pull the config
parsing out into its own function that can be used by both reading
and writing the configuration.
Since OpenSSL isn't used any more on OS X, there is no dependency
on any MacPorts library under /opt/local and there is no danger of
conflicts between MacPorts and system iconv. For this reason the
system iconv can always be used now.
Using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile in win32 allows us to
use the directory information that is returned, instead of
us having to get the file attributes all over again, which
is a distinct cost savings on win32.
The _next method shouldn't take a path pointer (and a path_len
pointer) as 100% of current users use the full path and ignore
the filename.
Plus let's add some docs and a unit test.
Changed win32/path_w32.c to utilize NTFS' FindFirst..FindNext data instead of doing an lstat per file. Avoiding unnecessary directory opens and file scans reduces IO, improving overall performance. Effect is magnified due to NTFS being a kernel mode file system (as opposed to user mode).
In checkout.c and filter.c we were casting a sub struct
to a parent struct which breaks the strict aliasing rules
in C. However we can use .parent or .base to access the
parent struct to avoid the build warnings.
In remote.c the local variable error was not initialized
or updated in some cases. For unintialized error a build
warning will be generated. So always keep error variable
up-to-date.
Do not automatically fail on a bad certificate, but let the caller
decide. This means we don't need our switch on errors anymore but can
return a string representation from the security framework.
