Core git just looks for NUL bytes in files when deciding about
is-binary inside diff (although it uses a better algorithm in
checkout, when deciding if CRLF conversion should be done).
Libgit2 was using the better algorithm in both places, but that
is causing some confusion. For now, this makes diff just look
for NUL bytes to decide if a file is binary by content in diff.
There are many scattered functions that look into the contents of
buffers to do various text manipulations (such as escaping or
unescaping data, calculating text stats, guessing if content is
binary, etc). This groups all those functions together into a
new file and converts the code to use that.
This has two enhancements to existing functionality. The old
text stats function is significantly rewritten and the BOM
detection code was extended (although largely we can't deal with
anything other than a UTF8 BOM).
This fixes some missed places where we can apply const-ness to
various public APIs.
There are still some index and tree APIs that cannot take const
pointers because we sort our `git_vectors` lazily and so we can't
reliably bsearch the index and tree content without applying a
`git_vector_sort()` first.
This also fixes some missed places where size_t can be used and
where const can be applied to a couple internal functions.
Without this change, any failed assertion in the second (or a later) test
inside a test suite has a chance of double deleting memory, resulting in
a heap corruption. See #1096 for details.
This leaves alone the test cases where we "just" use cl_git_sandbox_init()
and cl_git_sandbox_cleanup(). These methods already take good care to not
double delete a repository.
Fixes#1096
The existing p_lstat implementation on win32 is not quite POSIX
compliant when setting errno to ENOTDIR. This adds an option to
make is be compliant so that code (such as checkout) that cares
to have separate behavior for ENOTDIR can use it portably.
This also contains a couple of other minor cleanups in the
posix_w32.c implementations to avoid unnecessary work.
* Rework GIT_DIRREMOVAL values to GIT_RMDIR flags, allowing
combinations of flags
* Add GIT_RMDIR_EMPTY_PARENTS flag to remove parent dirs that
are left empty after removal
* Add GIT_MKDIR_VERIFY_DIR to give an error if item is a file,
not a dir (previously an EEXISTS error was ignored, even for
files) and enable this flag for git_futils_mkpath2file call
* Improve accuracy of error messages from git_futils_mkdir
The new Win32 global path search was not working with the
environment variable tests. But when I fixed the test, the new
codes use of getenv() was causing more failures (presumably because
of caching on Windows ???). This fixes the global file lookup to
always go directly to the Win32 API in a predictable way.
This started as a complex new test for checkout going through the
"typechanges" test repository, but that revealed numerous issues
with checkout, including:
* complete failure with submodules
* failure to create blobs with exec bits
* problems when replacing a tree with a blob because the tree
"example/" sorts after the blob "example" so the delete was
being processed after the single file blob was created
This fixes most of those problems and includes a number of other
minor changes that made it easier to do that, including improving
the TYPECHANGE support in diff/status, etc.
There has been discussion for a while about making some set of
the `giterr_set` type functions part of the public API for code
that is implementing new backends to libgit2. This makes the
`giterr_set_str()` and `giterr_set_oom()` functions public.
This cleans up a number of items suggested during code review
with @vmg, including:
* renaming "outside repo" config API to `git_config_open_default`
* killing the `git_config_open_global` API
* removing the `git_` prefix from the static functions in fileops
* removing some unnecessary functionality from the "cp" command
If you use the clar cleanup callback function, you can't pass a
reference pointer to a stack allocated variable because when the
cleanup function runs, the stack won't exist anymore.
This extends git_repository_init_ext further with support for
initializing the repository from an external template directory
and with support for the "create shared" type flags that make a
set GID repository directory.
This also adds tests for much of the new functionality to the
existing `repo/init.c` test suite.
Also, this adds a bunch of new utility functions including a
very general purpose `git_futils_mkdir` (with the ability to
make paths and to chmod the paths post-creation) and a file
tree copying function `git_futils_cp_r`. Also, this includes
some new path functions that were useful to keep the code
simple.
This makes it easy to take a buffer containing a path with relative
references (i.e. .. or . path segments) and resolve all of those
into a clean path. This can be applied to URLs as well as file
paths which can be useful.
As part of this, I made the drive-letter detection apply on all
platforms, not just windows. If you give a path that looks like
"c:/..." on any platform, it seems like we might as well detect
that as a rooted path. I suppose if you create a directory named
"x:" on another platform and want to use that as the beginning
of a relative path under the root directory of your repo, this
could cause a problem, but then it seems like you're asking for
trouble.
* `git_buf_rfind` (with tests and tests for `git_buf_rfind_next`)
* `git_buf_puts_escaped` and `git_buf_puts_escaped_regex` (with tests)
to copy strings into a buffer while injecting an escape sequence
(e.g. '\') in front of particular characters.
The error codes from failed lookups of system and global files
on Windows were not consistent with the codes returned on other
platforms. This makes the error detection patterns match and
adds a unit test for the various errors.
This fixes two bugs:
* Issue #728 where git_status_file was not working for files
that contain spaces. This was caused by reusing the "fnmatch"
parsing code from ignore and attribute files to interpret the
"pathspec" that constrained the files to apply the status to.
In that code, unescaped whitespace was considered terminal to
the pattern, so a file with internal whitespace was excluded
from the matched files. The fix was to add a mode to that code
that allows spaces and tabs inside patterns. This mode only
comes into play when parsing in-memory strings.
* The other issue was undetected, but it was in the recently
added code to reload gitattributes / gitignores when they were
changed on disk. That code was not clearing out the old values
from the cached file content before reparsing which meant that
newly added patterns would be read in, but deleted patterns
would not be removed. The fix was to clear the vector of
patterns in a cached file before reparsing the file.
The function to convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 was only allocating a
buffer of wcslen(utf16str) bytes for the UTF-8 string, but that
is not sufficient if you have multibyte characters, and so when
those occured, the conversion was failing. This updates the
conversion functions to use the Win APIs to calculate the correct
buffer lengths.
Also fixes a comparison in the unit tests that would fail if
you did not have a particular environment variable set.
On Windows, we are having problems with home directories
that have non-ascii characters in them. This rewrites the
relevant code to fetch environment variables as UTF-16 and
then explicitly map then into UTF-8 for our internal usage.
The goal of this work is to rewrite git_status_file to use the
same underlying code as git_status_foreach.
This is done in 3 phases:
1. Extend iterators to allow ranged iteration with start and
end prefixes for the range of file names to be covered.
2. Improve diff so that when there is a pathspec and there is
a common non-wildcard prefix of the pathspec, it will use
ranged iterators to minimize excess iteration.
3. Rewrite git_status_file to call git_status_foreach_ext
with a pathspec that covers just the one file being checked.
Since ranged iterators underlie the status & diff implementation,
this is actually fairly efficient. The workdir iterator does
end up loading the contents of all the directories down to the
single file, which should ideally be avoided, but it is pretty
good.
Since we now rely on it (at least under Solaris), I figured we probably
want to make sure it's accurate. The new test makes sure that creating a
file with a name of length FILENAME_MAX+1 fails.
This renamed `git_khash_str` to `git_strmap`, `git_hash_oid` to
`git_oidmap`, and deletes `git_hashtable` from the tree, plus
adds unit tests for `git_strmap`.
This converts the git attr related code (including ignores) and
the git diff related code (and implicitly the status code) to use
`git_pools` for storing strings. This reduces the number of small
blocks allocated dramatically.
This adds a `git_pool` object that can do simple paged memory
allocation with free for the entire pool at once. Using this,
you can replace many small allocations with large blocks that
can then cheaply be doled out in small pieces. This is best
used when you plan to free the small blocks all at once - for
example, if they represent the parsed state from a file or data
stream that are either all kept or all discarded.
There are two real patterns of usage for `git_pools`: either
for "string" allocation, where the item size is a single byte
and you end up just packing the allocations in together, or for
"fixed size" allocation where you are allocating a large object
(e.g. a `git_oid`) and you generally just allocation single
objects that can be tightly packed. Of course, you can use it
for other things, but those two cases are the easiest.
This updates to the latest clar which includes the helpers
`cl_assert_equal_s` and `cl_assert_equal_i`. Convert the code
over to use those and remove the old libgit2-only helpers.
