* mh/object-code-cleanup: sha1_file.c: document a bunch of functions defined in the file sha1_file_name(): declare to return a const string find_pack_entry(): document last_found_pack replace_object: use struct members instead of an array

sha1_file_name(): declare to return a const string

2014-02-24T17:10:22Z

Change the return value of sha1_file_name() to (const char *). (Callers have no business mucking about here.) Change callers accordingly, deleting a few superfluous temporary variables along the way. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

http: never use curl_easy_perform

2014-02-18T23:50:57Z

We currently don't reuse http connections when fetching via the smart-http protocol. This is bad because the TCP handshake introduces latency, and especially because SSL connection setup may be non-trivial. We can fix it by consistently using curl's "multi" interface. The reason is rather complicated: Our http code has two ways of being used: queuing many "slots" to be fetched in parallel, or fetching a single request in a blocking manner. The parallel code is built on curl's "multi" interface. Most of the single-request code uses http_request, which is built on top of the parallel code (we just feed it one slot, and wait until it finishes). However, one could also accomplish the single-request scheme by avoiding curl's multi interface entirely and just using curl_easy_perform. This is simpler, and is used by post_rpc in the smart-http protocol. It does work to use the same curl handle in both contexts, as long as it is not at the same time. However, internally curl may not share all of the cached resources between both contexts. In particular, a connection formed using the "multi" code will go into a reuse pool connected to the "multi" object. Further requests using the "easy" interface will not be able to reuse that connection. The smart http protocol does ref discovery via http_request, which uses the "multi" interface, and then follows up with the "easy" interface for its rpc calls. As a result, we make two HTTP connections rather than reusing a single one. We could teach the ref discovery to use the "easy" interface. But it is only once we have done this discovery that we know whether the protocol will be smart or dumb. If it is dumb, then our further requests, which want to fetch objects in parallel, will not be able to reuse the same connection. Instead, this patch switches post_rpc to build on the parallel interface, which means that we use it consistently everywhere. It's a little more complicated to use, but since we have the infrastructure already, it doesn't add any code; we can just factor out the relevant bits from http_request.

http: return curl's AUTHAVAIL via slot_results

2013-10-31T17:05:55Z

Callers of the http code may want to know which auth types were available for the previous request. But after finishing with the curl slot, they are not supposed to look at the curl handle again. We already handle returning other information via the slot_results struct; let's add a flag to check the available auth. Note that older versions of curl did not support this, so we simply return 0 (something like "-1" would be worse, as the value is a bitflag and we might accidentally set a flag). This is sufficient for the callers planned in this series, who only trigger some optional behavior if particular bits are set, and can live with a fake "no bits" answer. Signed-off-by: Jeff King

http.c: Spell the null pointer as NULL

2013-10-24T21:42:26Z

Commit 1bbcc224 ("http: refactor options to http_get_*", 28-09-2013) changed the type of final 'options' argument of the http_get_file() function from an int to an 'struct http_get_options' pointer. However, it neglected to update the (single) call site. Since this call was passing '0' to that argument, it was (correctly) being interpreted as a null pointer. Change to argument to NULL. Noticed by sparse. ("Using plain integer as NULL pointer") Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones Acked-by: Jeff King Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
