2013-10-29t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicableJeff King
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of "$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere. This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/ replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts do not have access to our internal shell functions. The result can be double-checked by running: ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl make test which continues to pass even after this patch.

2013-06-14unpack_entry: do not die when we fail to apply a deltaJeff King
When we try to load an object from disk and fail, our general strategy is to see if we can get it from somewhere else (e.g., a loose object). That lets users fix corruption problems by copying known-good versions of objects into the object database. We already handle the case where we were not able to read the delta from disk. However, when we find that the delta we read does not apply, we simply die. This case is harder to trigger, as corruption in the delta data itself would trigger a crc error from zlib. However, a corruption that pointed us at the wrong delta base might cause it. We can do the same "fail and try to find the object elsewhere" trick instead of dying. This not only gives us a chance to recover, but also puts us on code paths that will alert the user to the problem (with the current message, they do not even know which sha1 caused the problem). Note that unlike some other pack corruptions, we do not recover automatically from this case when doing a repack. There is nothing apparently wrong with the delta, as it points to a valid, accessible object, and we realize the error only when the resulting size does not match up. And in theory, one could even have a case where the corrupted size is the same, and the problem would only be noticed by recomputing the sha1. We can get around this by recomputing the deltas with --no-reuse-delta, which our test does (and this is probably good advice for anyone recovering from pack corruption).

2013-06-14t5303: drop "count=1" from corruption ddJeff King
This test corrupts pack objects by using "dd" with a seek command. It passes "count=1 bs=1" to munge just a single byte. However, the test added in commit b3118bdc wants to munge two bytes, and the second byte of corruption is silently ignored. This turned out not to impact the test, however. The idea was to reduce the "size of this entry" part of the header so that zlib runs out of input bytes while inflating the entry. That header is two bytes long, and the test reduced the value of both bytes; since we experience the problem if we are off by even 1 byte, it is sufficient to munge only the first one. Even though the test would have worked with only a single byte munged, and we could simply tweak the test to use a single byte, it makes sense to lift this 1-byte restriction from do_corrupt_object. It will allow future tests that do need to change multiple bytes to do so. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-06-12t: Replace 'perl' by $PERL_PATHVincent van Ravesteijn
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl interpreter is used. This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions. This patch makes sure that $PERL_PATH is used everywhere in the test suite and that the correct perl interpreter is used.

2009-10-14sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corruptedShawn O. Pearce
Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our allocated output buffer could accept. Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space. Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack. We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END. Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working as expected, and should not continue. This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

2009-03-19t5300, t5302, t5303: Do not use /dev/zeroJohannes Sixt
We do not have /dev/zero on Windows. This replaces it by data generated with printf, perl, or echo. Most of the cases do not depend on that the data is a stream of zero bytes, so we use something printable; nor is an unlimited stream of data needed, so we produce only as many bytes as the test cases need.
