2023-05-08t: drop "verbose" helper functionJeff King
We have a small helper function called "verbose", with the idea that you can write: verbose foo to get a message to stderr when the "foo" command fails, even if it does not produce any output itself. This goes back to 8ad1652418 (t5304: use helper to report failure of "test foo = bar", 2014-10-10). It does work, but overall it has not been a big success for two reasons: 1. Test writers have to remember to put it there (and the resulting test code is longer as a result). 2. It doesn't handle the opposite case (we expect "foo" to fail, but it succeeds), leading to inconsistencies in tests (which you can see in many hunks of this patch, e.g. ones involving "has_cr"). Most importantly, we added a136f6d8ff (test-lib.sh: support -x option for shell-tracing, 2014-10-10) at the same time, and it does roughly the same thing. The output is not quite as succinct as "verbose", and you have to watch out for stray shell-traces ending up in stderr. But it solves both of the problems above, and has clearly become the preferred tool. Let's consider the "verbose" function a failed experiment and remove the last few callers (which are all many years old, and have been dwindling as we remove them from scripts we touch for other reasons). It will be one less thing for new test writers to see and wonder if they should be using themselves. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-11-01leak tests: mark some diff tests as passing with SANITIZE=leakÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Mark some tests that match "*diff*" as passing when git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now be listed as running under the "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI target).

Test portability fix. * rs/t4062-obsd: t4062: use less than 256 repetitions in regex
2017-08-09t4062: use less than 256 repetitions in regexRené Scharfe
OpenBSD's regex library has a repetition limit (RE_DUP_MAX) of 255. That's the minimum acceptable value according to POSIX. In t4062 we use 4096 repetitions in the test "-G matches", though, causing it to fail. Combine two repetition operators, both less than 256, to arrive at 4096 zeros instead of using a single one, to fix the test on OpenBSD.

2017-03-18pickaxe: fix segfault with '-S<...> --pickaxe-regex'SZEDER Gábor
'git {log,diff,...} -S<...> --pickaxe-regex' can segfault as a result of out-of-bounds memory reads. diffcore-pickaxe.c:contains() looks for all matches of the given regex in a buffer in a loop, advancing the buffer pointer to the end of the last match in each iteration. When we switched to REG_STARTEND in b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21), we started passing the size of that buffer to the regexp engine, too. Unfortunately, this buffer size is never updated on subsequent iterations, and as the buffer pointer advances on each iteration, this "bufptr+bufsize" points past the end of the buffer. This results in segmentation fault, if that memory can't be accessed. In case of 'git log' it can also result in erroneously listed commits, if the memory past the end of buffer is accessible and happens to contain data matching the regex. Reduce the buffer size on each iteration as the buffer pointer is advanced, thus maintaining the correct end of buffer location. Furthermore, make sure that the buffer pointer is not dereferenced in the control flow statements when we already reached the end of the buffer. The new test is flaky, I've never seen it fail on my Linux box even without the fix, but this is expected according to db5dfa3 (regex: -G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails, 2016-09-21). However, it did fail on Travis CI with the first (and incomplete) version of the fix, and based on that commit message I would expect the new test without the fix to fail most of the time on Windows.

2016-09-21regex: use regexec_buf()Johannes Schindelin
The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings. We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated). Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where `git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers, though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings, or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling regexec(3). By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has become much cleaner. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-09-21regex: -G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and failsJohannes Schindelin
When our pickaxe code feeds file contents to regexec(), it implicitly assumes that the file contents are read into implicitly NUL-terminated buffers (i.e. that we overallocate by 1, appending a single '\0'). This is not so. In particular when the file contents are simply mmap()ed, we can be virtually certain that the buffer is preceding uninitialized bytes, or invalid pages. Note that the test we add here is known to be flakey: we simply cannot know whether the byte following the mmap()ed ones is a NUL or not. Typically, on Linux the test passes. On Windows, it fails virtually every time due to an access violation (that's a segmentation fault for you Unix-y people out there). And Windows would be correct: the regexec() call wants to operate on a regular, NUL-terminated string, there is no NUL in the mmap()ed memory range, and it is undefined whether the next byte is even legal to access. When run with --valgrind it demonstrates quite clearly the breakage, of course. Being marked with `test_expect_failure`, this test will sometimes be declare "TODO fixed", even if it only passes by mistake. This test case represents a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example of a breakage reported by Chris Sidi.
