<id>urn:sha1:f65d07fffaadc556b1a18cda7bb611c7f68717ea</id>
<content type='text'>
Recent versions of the gcc and clang Address Sanitizer produce test
failures related to regexec(). This triggers with gcc-10 and clang-8
(but not gcc-9 nor clang-7). Running:

  make CC=gcc-10 SANITIZE=address test

results in failures in t4018, t3206, and t4062.

The cause seems to be that when built with ASan, we use a different
version of regexec() than normal. And this version doesn't understand
the REG_STARTEND flag. Here's my evidence supporting that.

The failure in t4062 is an ASan warning:

  expecting success of 4062.2 '-G matches':
  	git diff --name-only -G "^(0{64}){64}$" HEAD^ &gt;out &amp;&amp;
  	test 4096-zeroes.txt = "$(cat out)"

      [...]

In this case we're looking in a buffer which was mmap'd via
reuse_worktree_file(), and whose size is 4096 bytes. But libasan's
regex tries to look at byte 4097 anyway! If we tweak Git like this:

  diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c
  index 8e2914c031..cfae60c120 100644
  --- a/diff.c

  -               return 1;
  +               return 0;

          return 0;
   }

to use a regular buffer (with a trailing NUL) instead of an mmap, then
the complaint goes away.

The other failures are actually diff output with an incorrect funcname
header. If I instrument xdiff to show the funcname matching like so:

then when compiling with ASan and gcc-10, running the diff from t4018.66
produces this:

  $ git diff -U1 cpp-skip-access-specifiers
  warning: regexec did not match:
    regex: ^[     ]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*:[[:space:]]*($|/[/*])

  +       int IWasChanged;
   };

That first regex should match (and is negated, so it should be telling
us _not_ to match "private:"). But it wouldn't if regexec() is looking
at the whole buffer, and not just the length-limited line we've fed to
regexec_buf(). So this is consistent again with REG_STARTEND being
ignored.

The correct output (compiling without ASan, or gcc-9 with Asan) looks
like this:

  warning: regexec matched:
    regex: ^[     ]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*:[[:space:]]*($|/[/*])
    buf: private:

          void DoSomething();
  -       int ChangeMe;

   };

So it really does seem like libasan's regex engine is ignoring
REG_STARTEND. We should be able to work around it by compiling with
NO_REGEX, which would use our local regexec(). But to make matters even
more interesting, this isn't enough by itself.

Because ASan has support from the compiler, it doesn't seem to intercept
our call to regexec() at the dynamic library level. It actually
recognizes when we are compiling a call to regexec() and replaces it
with ASan-specific code at that point. And unlike most of our other
compat code, where we might have git_mmap() or similar, the actual
symbol name in the compiled compat/regex code is regexec(). So just
compiling with NO_REGEX isn't enough; we still end up in libasan!

We can work around that by having the preprocessor replace regexec with
git_regexec (both in the callers and in the actual implementation), and
we truly end up with a call to our custom regex code, even when
compiling with ASan. That's probably a good thing to do anyway, as it
means anybody looking at the symbols later (e.g., in a debugger) would
have a better indication of which function is which. So we'll do the
same for the other common regex functions (even though just regexec() is
enough to fix this ASan problem).

<content type='text'>
When ebb7baf0 ("Makefile: add a hdr-check target", 2018-09-19)
implemented hdr-check target, it wanted to leave some header files
exempt from the stricter check the target implements, and added
GEN_HDRS macro.

This however is probably a bad move for two reasons:

 - If we value the header cleanliness check, we eventually want to
   teach our header generating scripts to produce clean headers.
   Keeping the blanket "generated headers can be left as dirty as we
   want" exception does not nudge us in the right direction.

 - There is a list of generated header files, GENERATED_H, which is
   used to keep track of dependencies.  Presence of GEN_HDRS that is
   too similarly named would confuse developers who are adding new
   generated header files which list to add theirs.

 - Even though unicode-width.h could be generated using a contrib/
   script, as far as our build infrastructure is concerned, it is a
   source file that is tracked in the source control system.  Its
   presence in GEN_HDRS list is doubly misleading.

Get rid of GEN_HDRS, which is used only once to list the headers we
do not run hdr-check test on, and instead explicitly list that the
ones, either tracked or generated, that we exempt from the test.

This allows GENERATED_H to be the sole "here are build artifact
header files that are expendable" list, so use it in the clean
target to $(RM) them.

<title>built-in add -i: start implementing the `patch` functionality in C</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6aa7ecc34373f32621b05659d5d2447d690be18</id>
<content type='text'>
In the previous steps, we re-implemented the main loop of `git add -i`
in C, and most of the commands.

Notably, we left out the actual functionality of `patch`, as the
relevant code makes up more than half of `git-add--interactive.perl`,
and is actually pretty independent of the rest of the commands.

With this commit, we start to tackle that `patch` part. For better
separation of concerns, we keep the code in a separate file,
`add-patch.c`. The new code is still guarded behind the
`add.interactive.useBuiltin` config setting, and for the moment,
it can only be called via `git add -p`.

The actual functionality follows the original implementation of
5cde71d64aff (git-add --interactive, 2006-12-10), but not too closely
(for example, we use string offsets rather than copying strings around,
and after seeing whether the `k` and `j` commands are applicable, in the
C version we remember which previous/next hunk was undecided, and use it
rather than looking again when the user asked to jump).

As a further deviation from that commit, We also use a comma instead of
a slash to separate the available commands in the prompt, as the current
version of the Perl script does this, and we also add a line about the
question mark ("print help") to the help text.

While it is tempting to use this conversion of `git add -p` as an excuse
to work on `apply_all_patches()` so that it does _not_ want to read a
file from `stdin` or from a file, but accepts, say, an `strbuf` instead,
we will refrain from this particular rabbit hole at this stage.

<content type='text'>
The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its
only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for
'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the
.git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run
the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the
working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires
care.

Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain
feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This
builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the
sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory.

The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree"
documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context.
Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to
a more restricted pattern set.
