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.
This includes a few cleanups that came up while converting
these files.
This commit introduces a could new git error classes, including
the catchall class: GITERR_INVALID which I'm using as the class
for invalid and out of range values which are detected at too low
a level of library to use a higher level classification. For
example, an overflow error in parsing an integer or a bad letter
in parsing an OID string would generate an error in this class.
This converts the map validation function into a macro, tweaks
the GITERR_OS system error automatic appending, and adds a
tentative new error access API and some quick unit tests for
both the old and new error APIs.
It turns out that commit 31e9cfc4cbcaf1b38cdd3dbe3282a8f57e5366a5
did not fix the GIT_USUSED behavior on all platforms. This commit
walks through and really cleans things up more thoroughly, getting
rid of the unnecessary stuff.
To remove the use of some GIT_UNUSED, I ended up adding a couple
of new iterators for hashtables that allow you to iterator just
over keys or just over values.
In making this change, I found a bug in the clar tests (where we
were doing *count++ but meant to do (*count)++ to increment the
value). I fixed that but then found the test failing because it
was not really using an empty repo. So, I took some of the code
that I wrote for iterator testing and moved it to clar_helpers.c,
then made use of that to make it easier to open fixtures on a
per test basis even within a single test file.
Since casting to void works to eliminate errors with unused
parameters on all platforms, avoid the various special cases.
Over time, it will make sense to eliminate the GIT_UNUSED
macro completely and just have GIT_UNUSED_ARG.
This makes so much sense that I can't believe it hasn't been done
before. Kill the old `git_fbuffer` and read files straight into
`git_buf` objects.
Also: In order to fully support 4GB files in 32-bit systems, the
`git_buf` implementation has been changed from using `ssize_t` for
storage and storing negative values on allocation failure, to using
`size_t` and changing the buffer pointer to a magical pointer on
allocation failure.
Hopefully this won't break anything.
