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.

2009-03-19MinGW: implement mmapJanos Laube
Add USE_WIN32_MMAP which triggers the use of windows' native file memory mapping functionality in git_mmap()/git_munmap() functions. As git functions currently use mmap with MAP_PRIVATE set only, this implementation supports only that mode for now. On Windows, offsets for memory mapped files need to match the allocation granularity. Take this into account when calculating the packed git- windowsize and file offsets. At the moment, the only function which makes use of offsets in conjunction with mmap is use_pack() in sha1-file.c. Git fast-import's code path tries to map a portion of the temporary packfile that exceeds the current filesize, i.e. offset+length is greater than the filesize. The NO_MMAP code worked with that since pread() just reads the file content until EOF and returns gracefully, while MapViewOfFile() aborts the mapping and returns 'Access Denied'. Working around that by determining the filesize and adjusting the length parameter.

2009-03-07Brown paper bag fix for MinGW 64-bit statJohannes Schindelin
When overriding the identifier "stat" so that "struct stat" will be substituted with "struct _stati64" everywhere, I tried to fix the calls to the _function_ stat(), too, but I forgot to change the earlier attempt "stat64" to "_stati64" there. So, the stat() calls were overridden by calls to _stati64() instead. Unfortunately, there is a function _stati64() so that I missed that calls to stat() were not actually overridden by calls to mingw_lstat(), but t4200-rerere.sh showed the error.

2009-03-03optimize compat/ memmem()René Scharfe
When memmem() was imported from glibc 2.2 into compat/, an optimization was dropped in the process, in order to make the code smaller and simpler. It was OK because memmem() wasn't used in performance-critical code. Now the situation has changed and we can benefit from this optimization. The trick is to avoid calling memcmp() if the first character of the needle already doesn't match. Checking one character directly is much cheaper than the function call overhead. We keep the first character of the needle in the variable named point and the rest in the one named tail. The following commands were run in a Linux kernel repository and timed, the best of five results is shown: $ STRING='Ensure that the real time constraints are schedulable.' $ git log -S"$STRING" HEAD -- kernel/sched.c >/dev/null On Windows Vista x64, before: real 0m8.470s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s And after the patch: real 0m1.887s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

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.

2008-10-28compat/cygwin.c: make runtime detection of lstat/stat lessor impactJunio C Hamano
The original patch that lead to an earlier commit adbc0b6 (cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat, 2008-09-30) did not call git_default_config() and it was a good thing. The lazy config reading when lstat/stat is called for the first time to find out if core.filemode is set can happen anytime in the calling program. If it happens after the calling program parsed the configuration file to prime its default parameter settings and processed its command line parameters to tweak them, this will overwrite the values set by the program with the values read from the config file. This essentially reverts the code to the version as submitted by Mark, with a bit more comments to clarify why we do not fall back on the default configuration parser from git_cygwin_config().

2008-09-30cygwin: Use native Win32 API for statDmitry Potapov
lstat/stat functions in Cygwin are very slow, because they try to emulate some *nix things that Git does not actually need. This patch adds Win32 specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin. This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary for two reasons: - Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths. - Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links. The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name does not exist. Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible, it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository together. Therefore, the core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks configuration option is provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.

2008-08-21compat/snprintf.c: handle snprintf's that always return the # chars transmittedBrandon Casey
Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_ returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of whether there was enough space or not. IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided. Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to be safe.

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.

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.

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().

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: Fix PRIuMAX definition.Johannes Sixt
Since GIT calls into Microsoft's MSVCRT.DLL, it must use the printf format that this DLL uses for 64-bit integers, which is %I64u instead of %llu. 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.
