2013-04-10strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizesAntoine Pelisse
Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere. Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other callers. We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of "0 KiB/s".

2013-01-16Allow custom "comment char"Junio C Hamano
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #, in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise a token of #<bugid> form, for example. The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end users. They have a choice between - Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

2012-11-04strbuf_split*(): rename "delim" parameter to "terminator"Michael Haggerty
The word "delimiter" suggests that the argument separates the substrings, whereas in fact (1) the delimiter characters are included in the output, and (2) if the input string ends with the delimiter, then the output does not include a final empty string. So rename the "delim" arguments of the strbuf_split() family of functions to "terminator", which is more suggestive of how it is used.

* jk/strbuf-detach-always-non-null: strbuf: always return a non-NULL value from strbuf_detach
2012-10-18strbuf: always return a non-NULL value from strbuf_detachJeff King
The current behavior is to return NULL when strbuf did not actually allocate a string. This can be quite surprising to callers, though, who may feed the strbuf from arbitrary data and expect to always get a valid value. In most cases, it does not make a difference because calling any strbuf function will cause an allocation (even if the function ends up not inserting any data). But if the code is structured like: struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT; if (some_condition) strbuf_addstr(&buf, some_string); return strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL); then you may or may not return NULL, depending on the condition. This can cause us to segfault in http-push (when fed an empty URL) and in http-backend (when an empty parameter like "foo=bar&&" is in the $QUERY_STRING). This patch forces strbuf_detach to allocate an empty NUL-terminated string when it is called on a strbuf that has not been allocated. I investigated all call-sites of strbuf_detach. The majority are either not affected by the change (because they call a strbuf_* function unconditionally), or can handle the empty string just as easily as NULL.

2011-11-08fmt-merge-msg: Add contents of merged tag in the merge messageJunio C Hamano
When a contributor asks the integrator to merge her history, a signed tag can be a good vehicle to communicate the authenticity of the request while conveying other information such as the purpose of the topic. E.g. a signed tag "for-linus" can be created, and the integrator can run: $ git pull git://example.com/work.git/ for-linus This would allow the integrator to run "git verify-tag FETCH_HEAD" to validate the signed tag. Update fmt-merge-msg so that it pre-fills the merge message template with the body (but not signature) of the tag object to help the integrator write a better merge message, in the same spirit as the existing merge.log summary lines. The message that comes from GPG signature validation is also included in the merge message template to help the integrator verify it, but they are prefixed with "#" to make them comments.

2011-10-18strbuf.c: remove unnecessary strbuf_grow() from strbuf_getwholeline()Brandon Casey
This use of strbuf_grow() is a historical artifact that was once used to ensure that strbuf.buf was allocated and properly nul-terminated. This was added before the introduction of the slopbuf in b315c5c0, which guarantees that strbuf.buf always points to a usable nul-terminated string. So let's remove it.

* tr/maint-strbuf-grow-nul-termination: strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new buffer
2011-08-29strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new bufferThomas Rast
In the case where sb is initialized to the slopbuf (through strbuf_init(sb,0) or STRBUF_INIT), strbuf_grow() loses the terminating nul: it grows the buffer, but gives ALLOC_GROW a NULL source to avoid it being freed. So ALLOC_GROW does not copy anything to the new memory area. This subtly broke the call to strbuf_getline in read_next_command() [fast-import.c:1855], which goes strbuf_detach(&command_buf, NULL); # command_buf is now = STRBUF_INIT stdin_eof = strbuf_getline(&command_buf, stdin, '\n'); if (stdin_eof) return EOF; In strbuf_getwholeline, this did strbuf_grow(sb, 0); # loses nul-termination if (feof(fp)) return EOF; strbuf_reset(sb); # this would have nul-terminated! Valgrind found this because fast-import subsequently uses prefixcmp() on command_buf.buf, which after the EOF exit contains only uninitialized memory. Arguably strbuf_getwholeline is also broken, in that it touches the buffer before deciding whether to do any work. However, it seems more futureproof to not let the strbuf API lose the nul-termination by its own fault. So make sure that strbuf_grow() puts in a nul even if it has nowhere to copy it from. This makes strbuf_grow(sb, 0) a semantic no-op as far as readers of the buffer are concerned. Also remove the nul-termination added by strbuf_init, which is made redudant.

In a variable-args function, the code for writing into a strbuf is non-trivial.

The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned integer has overflowed, but a more explicit unsigned_add_overflows(a, b) might be easier to read. Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).

2010-09-15disallow branch names that start with a hyphenJunio C Hamano
The current command line parser is overly lax in places and allows a branch whose name begins with a hyphen e.g. "-foo" to be created, but the parseopt infrastructure in general does not like to parse anything that begins with a dash as a short-hand refname. "git checkout -foo" won't work, nor will "git branch -d -foo" (even though "git branch -d -- -foo" works, it does so by mistake; we should not be taking anything but pathspecs after double-dash). All the codepaths that create a new branch ref, including the destination of "branch -m src dst", use strbuf_check_branch_ref() to validate if the given name is suitable as a branch name. Tighten it to disallow a branch that begins with a hyphen. You can still get rid of historical mistakes with $ git update-ref -d refs/heads/-foo and third-party Porcelains are free to keep using update-ref to create refs with a path component that begins with "-".

2010-01-14strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"Jeff King
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single "%", as that is what printf format specifiers do. This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand(): (1) git-daemon interpolated paths (2) pretty-print user formats (3) merge driver command lines Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch. Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

2007-11-14Handle broken vsnprintf implementations in strbufShawn O. Pearce
Solaris 9's vsnprintf implementation returns -1 if we pass it a buffer of length 0. The only way to get it to give us the actual length necessary for the formatted string is to grow the buffer out to have at least 1 byte available in the strbuf and then ask it to compute the length. If the available space is 0 I'm growing it out by 64 to ensure we will get an accurate length estimate from all implementations. Some callers may need to grow the strbuf again but 64 should be a reasonable enough initial growth. We also no longer silently fail to append to the string when we are faced with a broken vsnprintf implementation. On Solaris 9 this silent failure caused me to no longer be able to execute "git clone" as we tried to exec the empty string rather than "git-clone". Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-11-09--pretty=format: on-demand format expansionRené Scharfe
Some of the --pretty=format placeholders expansions are expensive to calculate. This is made worse by the current code's use of interpolate(), which requires _all_ placeholders are to be prepared up front. One way to speed this up is to check which placeholders are present in the format string and to prepare only the expansions that are needed. That still leaves the allocation overhead of interpolate(). Another way is to use a callback based approach together with the strbuf library to keep allocations to a minimum and avoid string copies. That's what this patch does. It introduces a new strbuf function, strbuf_expand(). The function takes a format string, list of placeholder strings, a user supplied function 'fn', and an opaque pointer 'context' to tell 'fn' what thingy to operate on. The function 'fn' is expected to accept a strbuf, a parsed placeholder string and the 'context' pointer, and append the interpolated value for the 'context' thingy, according to the format specified by the placeholder. Thanks to Pierre Habouzit for his suggestion to use strchrnul() and the code surrounding its callsite.
