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.
On GNU, the d_name field of the dirent structure is defined as "char d_name[1]",
so we must allocate more than sizeof(struct dirent) bytes, just like on Sun.
When checking for a drive letter on windows, instead of using
isalpha(), it is better to just check for a..z and A..Z, I think,
particularly because the MS isalpha implementation appears to
assert when given an 0xFF byte.
On Solaris, struct dirent is defined differently than Linux. The field
containing the path name is of size 0, rather than NAME_MAX. So, we need to
use a properly sized buffer on Solaris to avoid a stack overflow.
Also fix some DIR* leaks on cleanup.
Add a new command `git_repository_open_ext` with extended options
that control how searching for a repository will be done. The
existing `git_repository_open` and `git_repository_discover` are
reimplemented on top of it. We may want to change the default
behavior of `git_repository_open` but this commit does not do that.
Improve support for "gitdir" files where the work dir is separate
from the repo and support for the "separate-git-dir" config. Also,
add support for opening repos created with `git-new-workdir` script
(although I have only confirmed that they can be opened, not that
all functions work correctly).
There are also a few minor changes that came up:
- Fix `git_path_prettify` to allow in-place prettifying.
- Fix `git_path_root` to support backslashes on Win32. This fix
should help many repo open/discover scenarios - it is the one
function called when opening before prettifying the path.
- Tweak `git_config_get_string` to set the "out" pointer to NULL
if the config value is not found. Allows some other cleanup.
- Fix a couple places that should have been calling
`git_repository_config__weakptr` and were not.
- Fix `cl_git_sandbox_init` clar helper to support bare repos.
This converts blob.c, fileops.c, and all of the win32 files.
Also, various minor cleanups throughout the code. Plus, in
testing the win32 build, I cleaned up a bunch (although not
all) of the warnings with the 64-bit build.
This continues to add other files to the new error handling
style. I think the only real concerns here are that there are
a couple of error return cases that I have converted to asserts,
but I think that it was the correct thing to do given the new
error style.
This also includes droping `git_buf_lasterror` because it makes no sense
in the new system. Note that in most of the places were it has been
dropped, the code needs cleanup. I.e. GIT_ENOMEM is going away, so
instead it should return a generic `-1` and obviously not throw
anything.
This is a major reorganization of the diff code. This changes
the diff functions to use the iterators for traversing the
content. This allowed a lot of code to be simplified. Also,
this moved the functions relating to outputting a diff into a
new file (diff_output.c).
This includes a number of other changes - adding utility
functions, extending iterators, etc. plus more tests for the
diff code. This also takes the example diff.c program much
further in terms of emulating git-diff command line options.
This update addresses all of the feedback in pull request #570.
The biggest change was to create actual linked list stacks for
storing the tree and workdir iterator state. This cleaned up
the code a ton. Additionally, all of the static functions had
their 'git_' prefix removed, and a lot of other unnecessary
changes were removed from the original patch.
This create a new git_iterator type of object that provides a
uniform interface for iterating over the index, an arbitrary
tree, or the working directory of a repository.
As part of this, git ignore support was extended to support
push and pop of directory-based ignore files as the working
directory is being traversed (so the array of ignores does
not have to be recreated at each directory during traveral).
There are a number of other small utility functions in buffer,
path, vector, and fileops that are included in this patch
that made the iterator implementation cleaner.
This takes all of the functions that look up simple data about
paths (such as `git_futils_isdir`) and moves them over to path.h
(becoming `git_path_isdir`). This leaves fileops.h just with
functions that actually manipulate the filesystem or look at
the file contents in some way.
As part of this, the dir.h header which is really just for win32
support was moved into win32 (with some minor changes).
This contains fixes for several issues discovered by MSVC and
by valgrind, including some bad data access, some memory
leakage (in where certain files were not being successfully
added to the cache), and some code simplification.
This gets rid of the crazy macro version of git_path_walk_up
and makes it into a normal function that takes a callback
parameter. This turned out not to be too messy.
It turns out that passing NULL for the second parameter of realpath(3)
is not as portable as one might like. Notably, Mac OS 10.5 and earlier
does not support it. So this moves us back to a large buffer to get
the realpath info.
This converts virtually all of the places that allocate GIT_PATH_MAX
buffers on the stack for manipulating paths to use git_buf objects
instead. The patch is pretty careful not to touch the public API
for libgit2, so there are a few places that still use GIT_PATH_MAX.
This extends and changes some details of the git_buf implementation
to add a couple of extra functions and to make error handling easier.
This includes serious alterations to all the path.c functions, and
several of the fileops.c ones, too. Also, there are a number of new
functions that parallel existing ones except that use a git_buf
instead of a stack-based buffer (such as git_config_find_global_r
that exists alongsize git_config_find_global).
This also modifies the win32 version of p_realpath to allocate whatever
buffer size is needed to accommodate the realpath instead of hardcoding
a GIT_PATH_MAX limit, but that change needs to be tested still.
There were quite a few places were spaces were being used instead of
tabs. Try to catch them all. This should hopefully not break anything.
Except for `git blame`. Oh well.
1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
The old `git_fileops_prettify_path` has been replaced with
`git_path_prettify`. This is a much simpler method that uses the OS's
`realpath` call to obtain the full path for directories and resolve
symlinks.
The `realpath` syscall is the original POSIX call in Unix system and
an emulated version under Windows using the Windows API.
Cleaned up the structure of the whole OS-abstraction layer.
fileops.c now contains a set of utility methods for file management used
by the library. These are abstractions on top of the original POSIX
calls.
There's a new file called `posix.c` that contains
emulations/reimplementations of all the POSIX calls the library uses.
These are prefixed with `p_`. There's a specific posix file for each
platform (win32 and unix).
All the path-related methods have been moved from `utils.c` to `path.c`
and have their own prefix.
