config: drop git_config_get_string_const()

2020-08-17T22:35:47Z

As evidenced by the leak fixes in the previous commit, the "const" in git_config_get_string_const() clearly misleads people into thinking that it does not allocate a copy of the string. We can fix this by renaming it, but it's easier still to just drop it. Of the four remaining callers: - The one in git_config_parse_expiry() still needs to allocate, since that's what its callers expect. We can just use the non-const version and cast our pointer. Slightly ugly, but the damage is contained in one spot. - The two in apply are writing to global "const char *" variables, and need to continue allocating. We often mark these as const because we assign default string literals to them. But in this case we don't do that, so we can just declare them as real "char *" pointers and use the non-const version. - The call in checkout doesn't actually need a copy; it can just use the non-allocating "tmp" version of the function. The function is also mentioned in the MyFirstContribution document. We can swap that call out for the non-allocating "tmp" variant, which fits well in the example given. We'll drop the "configset" and "repo" variants, as well (which are unused). Note that this frees up the "const" name, so we could rename the "tmp" variant back to that. But let's give some time for topics in flight to adapt to the new code before doing so (if we do it too soon, the function semantics will change but the compiler won't alert us).

strvec: rename struct fields

2020-07-31T02:18:06Z

The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array, but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

strvec: convert more callers away from argv_array name

2020-07-28T22:02:18Z

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts remaining files from the first half of the alphabet, to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add '[abcdefghjkl]*'". We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

strvec: rename files from argv-array to strvec

2020-07-28T22:02:17Z

This requires updating #include lines across the code-base, but that's all fairly mechanical, and was done with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe 's/argv-array.h/strvec.h/' Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

shallow: extract a header file for shallow-related functions

2020-04-30T21:19:13Z

There are many functions in commit.h that are more related to shallow repositories than they are to any sort of generic commit machinery. Likely this began when there were only a few shallow-related functions, and commit.h seemed a reasonable enough place to put them. But, now there are a good number of shallow-related functions, and placing them all in 'commit.h' doesn't make sense. This patch extracts a 'shallow.h', which takes all of the declarations from 'commit.h' for functions which already exist in 'shallow.c'. We will bring the remaining shallow-related functions defined in 'commit.c' in a subsequent patch. For now, move only the ones that already are implemented in 'shallow.c', and update the necessary includes. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

real_path: remove unsafe API

2020-03-10T18:41:40Z

Returning a shared buffer invites very subtle bugs due to reentrancy or multi-threading, as demonstrated by the previous patch. There was an unfinished effort to abolish this [1]. Let's finally rid of `real_path()`, using `strbuf_realpath()` instead. This patch uses a local `strbuf` for most places where `real_path()` was previously called. However, two places return the value of `real_path()` to the caller. For them, a `static` local `strbuf` was added, effectively pushing the problem one level higher: read_gitfile_gently() get_superproject_working_tree() [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/1480964316-99305-1-git-send-email-bmwill@google.com/ Signed-off-by: Alexandr Miloslavskiy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

set_git_dir: fix crash when used with real_path()

2020-03-06T22:45:51Z

`real_path()` returns result from a shared buffer, inviting subtle reentrance bugs. One of these bugs occur when invoked this way: set_git_dir(real_path(git_dir)) In this case, `real_path()` has reentrance: real_path read_gitfile_gently repo_set_gitdir setup_git_env set_git_dir_1 set_git_dir Later, `set_git_dir()` uses its now-dead parameter: !is_absolute_path(path) Fix this by using a dedicated `strbuf` to hold `strbuf_realpath()`.
