2007-01-26Use inttypes.h rather than stdint.h.Jason Riedy
Older Solaris machines lack stdint.h but have inttypes.h. The standard has inttypes.h including stdint.h, so at worst this pollutes the namespace a bit. Signed-off-by: Jason Riedy <ejr@cs.berkeley.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-18Use fixed-size integers for the on-disk pack structure.Simon 'corecode' Schubert
Plain integer types without a fixed size can vary between platforms. Even though all common platforms use 32-bit ints, there is no guarantee that this won't change at some point. Furthermore, specifying an integer type with explicit size makes the definition of structures more obvious.

2007-01-16Set _ALL_SOURCE for AIX, but avoid its struct list.Jason Riedy
AIX 5.3 seems to need _ALL_SOURCE for struct addrinfo, but that introduces a struct list in grp.h. Signed-off-by: Jason Riedy <ejr@cs.berkeley.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-11Better error messages for corrupt databasesLinus Torvalds
This fixes another problem that Andy's case showed: git-fsck-objects reports nonsensical results for corrupt objects. There were actually two independent and confusing problems: - when we had a zero-sized file and used map_sha1_file, mmap() would return EINVAL, and git-fsck-objects would report that as an insane and confusing error. I don't know when this was introduced, it might have been there forever. - when "parse_object()" returned NULL, fsck would say "object not found", which can be very confusing, since obviously the object might "exist", it's just unparseable because it's totally corrupt. So this just makes "xmmap()" return NULL for a zero-sized object (which is a valid thing pointer, exactly the same way "malloc()" can return NULL for a zero-sized allocation). That fixes the first problem (but we could have fixed it in the caller too - I don't personally much care whichever way it goes, but maybe somebody should check that the NO_MMAP case does something sane in this case too?). And the second problem is solved by just making the error message slightly clearer - the failure to parse an object may be because it's missing or corrupt, not necessarily because it's not "found".

2007-01-10Replacing the system call pread() with lseek()/xread()/lseek() sequence.Stefan-W. Hahn
Using cygwin with cygwin.dll before 1.5.22 the system call pread() is buggy. This patch introduces NO_PREAD. If NO_PREAD is set git uses a sequence of lseek()/xread()/lseek() to emulate pread. Signed-off-by: Stefan-W. Hahn <stefan.hahn@s-hahn.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-07Spell default packedgitlimit slightly differentlyJunio C Hamano
This is shorter and easier to read, and also makes sure the constant expression does not overflow integer range. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-06Increase packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} on 64 bit systems.Shawn O. Pearce
If we have a 64 bit address space we can easily afford to commit a larger amount of virtual address space to pack file access. So on these platforms we should increase the default settings of core.packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} to something that will better handle very large projects. Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for pointing out that we can safely increase these defaults on such systems. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-29Replace mmap with xmmap, better handling MAP_FAILED.Shawn O. Pearce
In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any real error output to the user. We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-29Release pack windows before reporting out of memory.Shawn O. Pearce
If we are about to fail because this process has run out of memory we should first try to automatically control our appetite for address space by releasing enough least-recently-used pack windows to gain back enough memory such that we might actually be able to meet the current allocation request. This should help users who have fairly large repositories but are working on systems with relatively small virtual address space. Many times we see reports on the mailing list of these users running out of memory during various Git operations. Dynamically decreasing the amount of pack memory used when the demand for heap memory is increasing is an intelligent solution to this problem. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-29Default core.packdGitWindowSize to 1 MiB if NO_MMAP.Shawn O. Pearce
If the compiler has asked us to disable use of mmap() on their platform then we are forced to use git_mmap and its emulation via pread. In this case large (e.g. 32 MiB) windows for pack access are simply too big as a command will wind up reading a lot more data than it will ever need, significantly reducing response time. To prevent a high latency when NO_MMAP has been selected we now use a default of 1 MiB for core.packedGitWindowSize. Credit goes to Linus and Junio for recommending this more reasonable setting. [jc: upcased the name of the symbolic constant, and made another hardcoded constant into a symbolic constant while at it. ] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-24Rename gitfakemmap to git_mmap.Shawn O. Pearce
This minor cleanup was suggested by Johannes Schindelin. The mmap is still fake in the sense that we don't support PROT_WRITE or MAP_SHARED with external modification at all, but that hasn't stopped us from using mmap() thoughout the Git code.

2006-12-22Introduce a global level warn() function.Shawn O. Pearce
Like the existing error() function the new warn() function can be used to describe a situation that probably should not be occuring, but which the user (and Git) can continue to work around without running into too many problems. An example situation is a bad commit SHA1 found in a reflog. Attempting to read this record out of the reflog isn't really an error as we have skipped over it in the past. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-20simplify inclusion of system header files.Junio C Hamano
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-09-02Replace uses of strdup with xstrdup.Shawn Pearce
Like xmalloc and xrealloc xstrdup dies with a useful message if the native strdup() implementation returns NULL rather than a valid pointer. I just tried to use xstrdup in new code and found it to be missing. However I expected it to be present as xmalloc and xrealloc are already commonly used throughout the code.

2006-08-11drop length argument of has_extensionRene Scharfe
As Fredrik points out the current interface of has_extension() is potentially confusing. Its parameters include both a nul-terminated string and a length-limited string. This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated strings; all callsites are updated. I checked that all of them indeed provide nul-terminated strings. Filenames need to be nul-terminated anyway if they are to be passed to open() etc. The performance penalty of the additional strlen() is negligible compared to the system calls which inevitably surround has_extension() calls. Additionally, change has_extension() to use size_t inside instead of int, as that is the exact type strlen() returns and memcmp() expects.

2006-06-25Rename safe_strncpy() to strlcpy().Peter Eriksen
This cleans up the use of safe_strncpy() even more. Since it has the same semantics as strlcpy() use this name instead. Also move the definition from inside path.c to its own file compat/strlcpy.c, and use it conditionally at compile time, since some platforms already has strlcpy(). It's included in the same way as compat/setenv.c. Signed-off-by: Peter Eriksen <s022018@student.dtu.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-24Customizable error handlersPetr Baudis
This patch makes the usage(), die() and error() handlers customizable. Nothing in the git code itself uses that but many other libgit users (like Git.pm) will. This is implemented using the mutator functions primarily because you cannot directly modifying global variables of libgit from a program that dlopen()ed it, apparently. But having functions for that is a better API anyway. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-07[PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration.Junio C Hamano
ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array at the end of a structure, like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[]; /* more */ }; GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]"; unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90. This declares such construct like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */ }; and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and empty for others. If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the command line of "make". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-12-05Clean up compatibility definitions.Junio C Hamano
This attempts to clean up the way various compatibility functions are defined and used. - A new header file, git-compat-util.h, is introduced. This looks at various NO_XXX and does necessary function name replacements, equivalent of -Dstrcasestr=gitstrcasestr in the Makefile. - Those function name replacements are removed from the Makefile. - Common features such as usage(), die(), xmalloc() are moved from cache.h to git-compat-util.h; cache.h includes git-compat-util.h itself.
