bisect: fix memory leak when returning best element

2017-11-06T01:15:29Z

When `find_bisection()` returns a single list entry, it leaks the other entries. Move the to-be-returned item to the front and free the remainder. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

bisect: fix off-by-one error in `best_bisection_sorted()`

2017-11-06T01:15:29Z

After we have sorted the `cnt`-many commits that we have selected, we place them into the commit list. We then set `p->next` to NULL, but as we do so, `p` is already pointing one beyond item number `cnt`. Indeed, we check whether `p` is NULL before dereferencing it. This only matters if there are TREESAME-commits. Since they should be skipped, they are not included in `cnt` and we will hit the situation where we set `p->next` to NULL. As a result, the list will be one longer than it should be. The last commit in the list will be one which occurs earlier, or which shouldn't be included. Do not update `p` the very last round in the loop. This ensures that after the loop, `p->next` points to the remainder of the list, and we can set it to NULL. While we're here, free that remainder to fix a memory leak. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

bisect: fix memory leak in `find_bisection()`

2017-11-06T01:15:29Z

`find_bisection()` rebuilds the commit list it is given by reversing it and skipping uninteresting commits. The uninteresting list entries are leaked. Free them to fix the leak. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

bisect: change calling-convention of `find_bisection()`

2017-11-06T01:15:29Z

This function takes a commit list and returns a commit list. The returned list is built by modifying the original list. Thus the caller should not use the original list again (and after the next commit fixes a memory leak, it must not). Change the function signature so that it takes a **list and has void return type. That should make it harder to misuse this function. While we're here, document this function. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Memory leaks in various codepaths have been plugged. * ma/leakplugs: pack-bitmap[-write]: use `object_array_clear()`, don't leak object_array: add and use `object_array_pop()` object_array: use `object_array_clear()`, not `free()` leak_pending: use `object_array_clear()`, not `free()` commit: fix memory leak in `reduce_heads()` builtin/commit: fix memory leak in `prepare_index()`

leak_pending: use `object_array_clear()`, not `free()`

2017-09-24T01:05:57Z

Setting `leak_pending = 1` tells `prepare_revision_walk()` not to release the `pending` array, and makes that the caller's responsibility. See 4a43d374f (revision: add leak_pending flag, 2011-10-01) and 353f5657a (bisect: use leak_pending flag, 2011-10-01). Commit 1da1e07c8 (clean up name allocation in prepare_revision_walk, 2014-10-15) fixed a memory leak in `prepare_revision_walk()` by switching from `free()` to `object_array_clear()`. However, where we use the `leak_pending`-mechanism, we're still only calling `free()`. Use `object_array_clear()` instead. Copy some helpful comments from 353f5657a to the other callers that we update to clarify the memory responsibilities, and to highlight that the commits are not affected when we clear the array -- it is indeed correct to both tidy up the commit flags and clear the object array. Document `leak_pending` in revision.h to help future users get this right. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren Reviewed-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'bw/config-h'

2017-06-24T21:28:41Z

Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API into its own header file. * bw/config-h: config: don't implicitly use gitdir or commondir config: respect commondir setup: teach discover_git_directory to respect the commondir config: don't include config.h by default config: remove git_config_iter config: create config.h

config: don't include config.h by default

2017-06-15T19:56:22Z

Stop including config.h by default in cache.h. Instead only include config.h in those files which require use of the config system. Signed-off-by: Brandon Williams Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'nd/fopen-errors'

2017-06-13T20:47:09Z

We often try to open a file for reading whose existence is optional, and silently ignore errors from open/fopen; report such errors if they are not due to missing files. * nd/fopen-errors: mingw_fopen: report ENOENT for invalid file names mingw: verify that paths are not mistaken for remote nicknames log: fix memory leak in open_next_file() rerere.c: move error_errno() closer to the source system call print errno when reporting a system call error wrapper.c: make warn_on_inaccessible() static wrapper.c: add and use fopen_or_warn() wrapper.c: add and use warn_on_fopen_errors() config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Darwin, too config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Linux and FreeBSD clone: use xfopen() instead of fopen() use xfopen() in more places git_fopen: fix a sparse 'not declared' warning
