2009-04-20Windows: Work around intermittent failures in mingw_renameJohannes Sixt
We have replaced rename() with a version that can rename a file to a destination that already exists. Nevertheless, many users, the author included, observe failures in the code that are not reproducible. The theory is that the failures are due to some other process that happens to have opened the destination file briefly at the wrong moment. (And there is no way on Windows to delete or replace a file that is currently open.) The most likely candidate for such a process is a virus scanner. The failure is more often observed while there is heavy git activity (for example while the test suite is running or during a rebase operation). We work around the failure by retrying the rename operation if it failed due to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. The retries are delayed a bit: The first only by giving up the time slice, the next after the minimal scheduling granularity, and if more retries are needed, then we wait some non-trivial amount of time with exponential back-off.

2009-03-24MinGW: Quote arguments for subprocesses that contain a single-quoteJohannes Sixt
Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present. This is necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand arguments that look like glob patterns. "Normal" Windows command line utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg(). But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word. With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain single-quotes. This lets t4252 pass on Windows.

2009-03-05MinGW: 64-bit file offsetsJohannes Schindelin
The type 'off_t' should be used everywhere so that the bit-depth of that type can be adjusted in the standard C library, and you just need to recompile your program to benefit from the extended precision. Only that it was not done that way in the MS runtime library. This patch reroutes off_t to off64_t and provides the other necessary changes so that finally, clones larger than 2 gigabyte work on Windows (provided you are on a file system that allows files larger than 2gb).

* js/mingw-rename-fix: compat/mingw.c: Teach mingw_rename() to replace read-only files
2008-11-24compat/mingw.c: Teach mingw_rename() to replace read-only filesJohannes Sixt
On POSIX, rename() can replace files that are not writable. On Windows, however, read-only files cannot be replaced without additional efforts: We have to make the destination writable first. Since the situations where the destination is read-only are rare, we do not make the destination writable on every invocation, but only if the first try to rename a file failed with an "access denied" error.

2008-11-06Windows: Make OpenSSH properly detect tty detachment.Alexander Gavrilov
Apparently, CREATE_NO_WINDOW makes the OS tell the process that it has a console, but without actually creating the window. As a result, when git is started from GUI, ssh tries to ask its questions on the invisible console. This patch uses DETACHED_PROCESS instead, which clearly means that the process should be left without a console. The downside is that if the process manually calls AllocConsole, the window will appear. A similar thing might occur if it calls another console executable.

Our poll() emulation did not support the timeout argument.

2008-08-19compat: introduce on_disk_bytes()Junio C Hamano
Some platforms do not have st_blocks member in "struct stat"; mingw already emulates it by rounding it up to closest 512-byte blocks (even though it could overcount when a file has holes). The reason to use the member is only to figure out how many kilobytes the files occupy on-disk, so give a helper function in git-compat-util.h to compute this value.

2008-07-13help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell APISteffen Prohaska
The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which requires a Unix shell. Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good because it avoids potential path translation issues. In this case it is not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it. The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid platform-specific code in the main code base. On Windows, open_html is provided as a define. If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is used. This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using per-function ifdefs. The "ifndef open_html" together with the introductory comment should sufficiently warn developers, so that they hopefully will not break this mechanism.

2008-06-26Windows: Use a customized struct stat that also has the st_blocks member.Johannes Sixt
Windows's struct stat does not have a st_blocks member. Since we already have our own stat/lstat/fstat implementations, we can just as well use a customized struct stat. This patch introduces just that, and also fills in the st_blocks member. On the other hand, we don't provide members that are never used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-26Windows: Add a custom implementation for utime().Johannes Sixt
This is a necessary pendant to our lstat implementation: MSVCRT's implementations of lstat and utime do some adjustments if daylight saving time is in effect, but our lstat implementation doesn't do these adjustments and report the correct UTC time. With this implementation we omit the adjustments in utime() as well and always write UTC. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-26Windows: Add a new lstat and fstat implementation based on Win32 API.Marius Storm-Olsen
This gives us a significant speedup when adding, committing and stat'ing files. Also, since Windows doesn't really handle symlinks, we let stat just uses lstat. We also need to replace fstat, since our implementation and the standard stat() functions report slightly different timestamps, possibly due to timezones. We simply report UTC in our implementation, and do our FILETIME to time_t conversion based on the document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167296.

2008-06-26Windows: Implement a custom spawnve().Johannes Sixt
The problem with Windows's own implementation is that it tries to be clever when a console program is invoked from a GUI application: In this case it sometimes automatically allocates a new console window. As a consequence, the IO channels of the spawned program are directed to the console, but the invoking application listens on channels that are now directed to nowhere. In this implementation we use the lowlevel facilities of CreateProcess(), which offers a flag to tell the system not to open a console. As a side effect, only stdin, stdout, and stderr channels will be accessible from C programs that are spawned. Other channels (file handles, pipe handles, etc.) are still inherited by the spawned program, but it doesn't get enough information to access them. Johannes Schindelin integrated path quoting and unified the various *execv* and *spawnv* helpers. Eric Raible suggested to also quote '{'. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-26Windows: Implement wrappers for gethostbyname(), socket(), and connect().Johannes Sixt
gethostbyname() is the first function that calls into the Winsock library, and it is wrapped only to initialize the library. socket() is wrapped for two reasons: - Windows's socket() creates things that are like low-level file handles, and they must be converted into file descriptors first. - And these handles cannot be used with plain ReadFile()/WriteFile() because they are opened for "overlapped IO". We have to use WSASocket() to create non-overlapped IO sockets. connect() must be wrapped because Windows's connect() expects the low-level sockets, not file descriptors, and we must first unwrap the file descriptor before we can pass it on to Windows's connect(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-26Windows: A rudimentary poll() emulation.Johannes Sixt
This emulation of poll() is by far not general. It assumes that the fds that are to be waited for are connected to pipes. The pipes are polled in a loop until data becomes available in at least one of them. If only a single fd is waited for, the implementation actually does not wait at all, but assumes that a subsequent read() will block. In order not to needlessly burn CPU time, the CPU is yielded to other processes before the next round in the poll loop using Sleep(0). Note that any sleep timeout greater than zero will reduce the efficiency by a magnitude. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: Implement start_command().Johannes Sixt
On Windows, we have spawnv() variants to run a child process instead of fork()/exec(). In order to attach pipe ends to stdin, stdout, and stderr, we have to use this idiom: save1 = dup(1); dup2(pipe[1], 1); spawnv(); dup2(save1, 1); close(pipe[1]); assuming that the descriptors created by pipe() are not inheritable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: A pipe() replacement whose ends are not inherited to children.Johannes Sixt
On Unix the idiom to use a pipe is as follows: pipe(fd); pid = fork(); if (!pid) { dup2(fd[1], 1); close(fd[1]); close(fd[0]); ... } close(fd[1]); i.e. the child process closes the both pipe ends after duplicating one to the file descriptors where they are needed. On Windows, which does not have fork(), we never have an opportunity to (1) duplicate a pipe end in the child, (2) close unused pipe ends. Instead, we must use this idiom: save1 = dup(1); pipe(fd); dup2(fd[1], 1); spawn(...); dup2(save1, 1); close(fd[1]); i.e. save away the descriptor at the destination slot, replace by the pipe end, spawn process, restore the saved file. But there is a problem: Notice that the child did not only inherit the dup2()ed descriptor, but also *both* original pipe ends. Although the one end that was dup()ed could be closed before the spawn(), we cannot close the other end - the child inherits it, no matter what. The solution is to generate non-inheritable pipes. At the first glance, this looks strange: The purpose of pipes is usually to be inherited to child processes. But notice that in the course of actions as outlined above, the pipe descriptor that we want to inherit to the child is dup2()ed, and as it so happens, Windows's dup2() creates inheritable duplicates.

2008-06-23Windows: Wrap execve so that shell scripts can be invoked.Johannes Sixt
When an external git command is invoked, it can be a Bourne shell script. This patch looks into the command file to see whether it is one. In this case, the command line is rearranged to invoke the shell with the proper arguments. With this change, scripted git commands work. Command line arguments to those scripts cannot be complex (contain spaces or double-quotes), yet. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: Implement setitimer() and sigaction().Johannes Sixt
The timer is implemented using a thread that calls the signal handler at regular intervals. We also replace Windows's signal() function because we must intercept that SIGALRM is set (which is used when a timer is canceled). Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>

2008-06-23Windows: Work around misbehaved rename().Johannes Sixt
Windows's rename() is based on the MoveFile() API, which fails if the destination exists. Here we work around the problem by using MoveFileEx(). Furthermore, the posixly correct error is returned if the destination is a directory. The implementation is still slightly incomplete, however, because of the missing error code translation: We assume that the failure is due to permissions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: A minimal implemention of getpwuid().Johannes Sixt
getpwuid() is implemented just enough that GIT does not issue errors. Since the information that it returns is not very useful, users are required to set up user.name and user.email configuration. All uses of getpwuid() are like getpwuid(getuid()), hence, the return value of getuid() is irrelevant and the uid parameter is not even looked at. Side note: getpwnam() is only used to resolve '~' and '~username' paths, which is an idiom not known on Windows, hence, we don't implement it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-23Windows: Implement a wrapper of the open() function.Johannes Sixt

2008-06-23Windows: Treat Windows style path names.Johannes Sixt
GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths of the machinery. We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through functions in setup.c. A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a directory separator on Windows. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-22Add target architecture MinGW.Johannes Sixt
With this change GIT can be compiled and linked using MinGW. Builtins that only read the repository such as the log family and grep already work. Simple stubs are provided for a number of functions that the Windows C runtime does not offer. They will be completed in later patches. However, a fix for the snprintf/vsnprintf replacement is applied here to avoid buffer overflows. Dmitry Kakurin pointed out that access(..., X_OK) would always fails on Vista and suggested the -D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS workaround. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
