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

midx: pass down `hash_algo` to functions using global variables

2024-12-04T01:32:21Z

The functions `get_split_midx_filename_ext()`, `get_midx_filename()` and `get_midx_filename_ext()` use `hash_to_hex()` which internally uses the `the_hash_algo` global variable. Remove this dependency on global variables by passing down the `hash_algo` through to the functions mentioned and instead calling `hash_to_hex_algop()` along with the obtained `hash_algo`.

midx-write: pass down repository to `write_midx_file[_only]`

2024-12-04T01:32:20Z

In a previous commit, we passed the repository field to all subcommands in the `builtin/` directory. Utilize this to pass the repository field down to the `write_midx_file[_only]` functions to remove the usage of `the_repository` global variables. With this, all usage of global variables in `midx-write.c` is removed, hence, remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` guard from the file. Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

write-midx: add repository field to `write_midx_context`

2024-12-04T01:32:20Z

The struct `write_midx_context` is used to pass context for creating MIDX files. Add the repository field here to ensure that most functions within `midx-write.c` have access to the field and can use that instead of the global `the_repository` variable.

midx-write: use `revs->repo` inside `read_refs_snapshot`

2024-12-04T01:32:20Z

The function `read_refs_snapshot()` uses `parse_oid_hex()`, which relies on the global `the_hash_algo` variable. Let's instead use `parse_oid_hex_algop()` and provide the hash algo via `revs->repo`. Also, while here, fix a missing newline after the function's definition. Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

midx-write: pass down repository to static functions

2024-12-04T01:32:20Z

In 'midx-write.c' there are a lot of static functions which use global variables `the_repository` or `the_hash_algo`. In a follow up commit, the repository variable will be added to `write_midx_context`, which some of the functions can use. But for functions which do not have access to this struct, pass down the required information from non-static functions `write_midx_file` and `write_midx_file_only`. This requires that the function `hash_to_hex` is also replaced with `hash_to_hex_algop` since the former internally accesses the `the_hash_algo` global variable. This ensures that the usage of global variables is limited to these non-static functions, which will be cleaned up in a follow up commit. Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

packfile: add repository to struct `packed_git`

2024-12-03T23:21:53Z

The struct `packed_git` holds information regarding a packed object file. Let's add the repository variable to this object, to represent the repository that this packfile belongs to. This helps remove dependency on the global `the_repository` object in `packfile.c` by simply using repository information now readily available in the struct. We do need to consider that a packfile could be part of the alternates of a repository, but considering that we only have one repository struct and also that we currently anyways use 'the_repository', we should be OK with this change. We also modify `alloc_packed_git` to ensure that the repository is added to newly created `packed_git` structs. This requires modifying the function and all its callee to pass the repository object down the levels. Helped-by: Taylor Blau Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

pack-write: fix return parameter of `write_rev_file_order()`

2024-09-30T18:23:08Z

While the return parameter of `write_rev_file_order()` is a string constant, the function may indeed return an allocated string when its first parameter is a `NULL` pointer. This makes for a confusing calling convention, where callers need to be aware of these intricate ownership rules and cast away the constness to free the string in some cases. Adapt the function and its caller `write_rev_file()` to always return an allocated string and adapt callers to always free the return value. Note that this requires us to also adapt `rename_tmp_packfile()`, which compares the pointers to packfile data with each other. Now that the path of the reverse index file gets allocated unconditionally the check will always fail. This is fixed by using strcmp(3P) instead, which also feels way less fragile.

midx-write: fix leaking buffer

The buffer used to compute the final MIDX name is never released. Plug this memory leak. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
