config: drop `git_config_set()` wrapper

2025-07-23T15:15:21Z

In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global repository variable explicit at the callsite. Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config_set()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config_set(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

global: trivial conversions to fix `-Wsign-compare` warnings

2024-12-06T11:20:04Z

We have a bunch of loops which iterate up to an unsigned boundary using a signed index, which generates warnigs because we compare a signed and unsigned value in the loop condition. Address these sites for trivial cases and enable `-Wsign-compare` warnings for these code units. This patch only adapts those code units where we can drop the `DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS` macro in the same step. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

global: mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`

2024-12-06T11:20:02Z

Mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`. This allows for a structured approach to get rid of all such warnings over time in a way that can be easily measured. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

list-objects-filter-options: work around reported leak on error

2024-11-05T06:37:57Z

This one is a little bit more curious. In t6112, we have a test that exercises the `git rev-list --filter` option with invalid filters. We execute git-rev-list(1) via `test_must_fail`, which means that we check for leaks even though Git exits with an error code. This causes the following leak: Direct leak of 27 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x5555555e6946 in realloc.part.0 lsan_interceptors.cpp.o #1 0x5555558fb4b6 in xrealloc wrapper.c:137:8 #2 0x5555558b6e06 in strbuf_grow strbuf.c:112:2 #3 0x5555558b7550 in strbuf_add strbuf.c:311:2 #4 0x5555557c1a88 in strbuf_addstr strbuf.h:310:2 #5 0x5555557c1d4c in parse_list_objects_filter list-objects-filter-options.c:261:3 #6 0x555555885ead in handle_revision_pseudo_opt revision.c:2899:3 #7 0x555555884e20 in setup_revisions revision.c:3014:11 #8 0x5555556c4b42 in cmd_rev_list builtin/rev-list.c:588:9 #9 0x5555555ec5e3 in run_builtin git.c:483:11 #10 0x5555555eb1e4 in handle_builtin git.c:749:13 #11 0x5555555ec001 in run_argv git.c:819:4 #12 0x5555555eaf94 in cmd_main git.c:954:19 #13 0x5555556fd569 in main common-main.c:64:11 #14 0x7ffff7ca714d in __libc_start_call_main (.../lib/libc.so.6+0x2a14d) #15 0x7ffff7ca7208 in __libc_start_main@GLIBC_2.2.5 (.../libc.so.6+0x2a208) #16 0x5555555ad064 in _start (git+0x59064) This leak is valid, as we call `die()` and do not clean up the memory at all. But what's curious is that this is the only leak reported, because we don't clean up any other allocated memory, either, and I have no idea why the leak sanitizer treats this buffer specially. In any case, we can work around the leak by shuffling things around a bit. Instead of calling `gently_parse_list_objects_filter()` and dying after we have modified the filter spec, we simply do so beforehand. Like this we don't allocate the buffer in the error case, which makes the reported leak go away. It's not pretty, but it manages to make t6112 leak free.

global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro

2024-06-14T17:26:33Z

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead, callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters. It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces that implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes, be it explicit or implicit For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as `the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add guards as required (or even better, just remove them). Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the required changes at least a little bit more contained. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

treewide: remove unnecessary includes in source files

2023-12-26T20:04:31Z

Each of these were checked with gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE} to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that no other header pulled it in transitively). ...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in that source file. These cases were: * builtin/credential-cache.c * builtin/pull.c * builtin/send-pack.c Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-compat-util: move alloc macros to git-compat-util.h

2023-07-05T18:42:31Z

alloc_nr, ALLOC_GROW, and ALLOC_GROW_BY are commonly used macros for dynamic array allocation. Moving these macros to git-compat-util.h with the other alloc macros focuses alloc.[ch] to allocation for Git objects and additionally allows us to remove inclusions to alloc.h from files that solely used the above macros.
