MinGW: truncate exit()'s argument to lowest 8 bits

2009-07-05T19:16:26Z

For some reason, MinGW's bash cannot reliably detect failure of the child process if a negative value is passed to exit(). This fixes it by truncating the exit code in all calls of exit(). This issue was worked around in run_builtin() of git.c (2488df84 builtin run_command: do not exit with -1, 2007-11-15). This workaround is no longer necessary and is reverted.

Fix warnings in nedmalloc when compiling with GCC 4.4.0

2009-06-08T16:43:37Z

Nedmalloc's source code has a cute #define construct to avoid inserting an if() statement, because that might interact badly with enclosing if() statements. However, GCC > 4 complains with a "warning: value computed is not used". So we cast the result to "void". GCC also does not understand the Visual C++ specific pragmas, so we need to disable them for MinGW. We need to include malloc.h on Windows even if we happen to compile the stuff as a MinGW program. Otherwise the function declaration of alloca() is missing. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Add custom memory allocator to MinGW and MacOS builds

2009-06-01T07:27:39Z

The standard allocator on Windows is pretty bad prior to Windows Vista, and nedmalloc is better than the modified dlmalloc provided with newer versions of the MinGW libc. NedMalloc stats in Git ---------------------- All results are the best result out of 3 runs. The benchmarks have been done on different hardware, so the repack times are not comparable.

MinGW readdir reimplementation to support d_type

2009-06-01T07:25:54Z

The original readdir implementation was fast, but didn't support the d_type. This means that git would do additional lstats for each entry, to figure out if the entry was a directory or not. This unneedingly slowed down many operations, since Windows API provides this information directly when walking the directories. By running this implementation on Moe's repo structure: mkdir bummer && cd bummer; for ((i=0;i<100;i++)); do mkdir $i && pushd $i; for ((j=0;j<1000;j++)); do echo "$j" >$j; done; popd; done We see the following speedups: git add . ------------------- old: 00:00:23(.087) new: 00:00:21(.512) 1.07x git status ------------------- old: 00:00:03(.306) new: 00:00:01(.684) 1.96x git clean -dxf ------------------- old: 00:00:01(.918) new: 00:00:00(.295) 6.50x Signed-off-by: Marius Storm-Olsen Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Work around a regression in Windows 7, causing erase_in_line() to crash sometimes

2009-06-01T07:08:54Z

The function FillConsoleOutputCharacterA() was pretty content in XP to take a NULL pointer if we did not want to store the number of written columns. In Windows 7, it crashes, but only when called from within Git Bash, not from within cmd.exe. Go figure.

compat: add a basename() compatibility function

2009-06-01T00:57:59Z

Some systems such as Windows lack libgen.h so provide a basename() implementation for cross-platform use. This introduces the NO_LIBGEN_H construct to the Makefile and autoconf scripts. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
