This builds on the earlier thread safety work to make it so that
setting the odb, index, refdb, or config for a repository is done
in a threadsafe manner with minimized locking time. This is done
by adding a lock to the repository object and using it to guard
the assignment of the above listed pointers. The lock is only
held to assign the pointer value.
This also contains some minor fixes to the other work with pack
files to reduce the time that locks are being held to and fix an
apparently memory leak.
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
As a function that appears to only be called on error paths, I don't
think it makes sense for it to return an error, or clobber the global
giterr. Note that no existing callsites actually check the return
code.
In my own application, there are errors where the real error ends
up being hidden, as git_mwindow_file_deregister() clobbers the
global giterr. I'm not sure this error is even relevant?
Up to now, the idea was that the user would do all the operations for
one repository in the same thread. Thus we could have the
memory-mapped window information thread-local and avoid any locking.
This is not practical in a few environments, such as Apple's GCD which
allocates threads arbitrarily or the .NET CLR, where the OS-level
thread can change at any moment.
Make the control structure global and protect it with a mutex so we
don't depend on the thread currently executing the code.
Once a file is registered, there is no way to deregister it, even
after the structure that contains it is no longer needed and has been
freed. This may be the source of #624.
Allow and use the deregister function to remove our file from the
global list.
On RAM: the .idx and .pack files become links to a .lock and the original download respectively.
Assume some feature (such as record locking) supported by SFS but not JXFS or RAM: is required.
This will allow us to index a packfile as soon as we receive it from
the network as well as storing it with its final name so we don't need
to pass temporary file names around.
Looking through the open windows to check whether we can re-use an
open window should take into account whether both `offset` and `offset
+ extra` are contained within the same window. Failure to do so can
lead to invalid memory accesses. This closes#614.
While we're in the area remove an outdated assert.
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 migrates odb.c, odb_loose.c, odb_pack.c and pack.c to
the new style of error handling. Also got the unix and win32
versions of map.c. There are some minor changes to other
files but no others were completely converted.
This also contains an update to filebuf so that a zeroed out
filebuf will not think that the fd (== 0) is actually open
(and inadvertently call close() on fd 0 if cleaned up).
Lastly, this was built and tested on win32 and contains a
bunch of fixes for the win32 build which was pretty broken.
See `global.c` for a description of what we're doing.
When libgit2 is built with GIT_THREADS support, the threading system
must be explicitly initialized with `git_threads_init()`.
Remove a wrong call to git_mwindow_close which caused a segfault if it
ever did run. In that same piece of code, if the LRU was from the
first wiindow in the list in a different file, we didn't update that
list, so the first element had been freed.
Fix these two issues.

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.
This code is useful for more things than just the packfile handling
code. Factor it out so it can be reused.
