object-store: merge "object-store-ll.h" and "object-store.h"

2025-04-15T15:24:37Z

The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the header. Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

pack-check: stop depending on `the_repository`

2025-03-10T20:16:19Z

There are multiple sites in "pack-check.c" where we use the global `the_repository` variable, either explicitly or implicitly by using `the_hash_algo`. In all of those cases we already have a repository available in the calling context though. Refactor the code to instead use the caller-provided repository and remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` define. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

environment: move access to "core.bigFileThreshold" into repo settings

2025-03-10T20:16:18Z

The "core.bigFileThreshold" setting is stored in a global variable and populated via `git_default_core_config()`. This may cause issues in the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a single process with different values for that config key, as we may or may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state blocks our path towards libification. Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct repo_settings`, where the value is computed as-needed and cached. Note that this change requires us to adapt one test in t1050 that verifies that we die when parsing an invalid "core.bigFileThreshold" value. The exercised Git command doesn't use the value at all, and thus it won't hit the new code path that parses the value. This is addressed by using git-hash-object(1) instead, which does read the value. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

csum-file: stop depending on `the_repository`

2025-03-10T20:16:18Z

There are multiple sites in "csum-file.c" where we use the global `the_repository` variable, either explicitly or implicitly by using `the_hash_algo`. Refactor the code to stop using `the_repository` by adapting functions to receive required data as parameters. Adapt callsites accordingly by either using `the_repository->hash_algo`, or by using a context-provided hash algorithm in case the subsystem already got rid of its dependency on `the_repository`.

global: adapt callers to use generic hash context helpers

2025-01-31T18:06:11Z

Adapt callers to use generic hash context helpers instead of using the hash algorithm to update them. This makes the callsites easier to reason about and removes the possibility that the wrong hash algorithm is used to update the hash context's state. And as a nice side effect this also gets rid of a bunch of users of `the_hash_algo`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

hash: stop typedeffing the hash context

2025-01-31T18:06:10Z

We generally avoid using `typedef` in the Git codebase. One exception though is the `git_hash_ctx`, likely because it used to be a union rather than a struct until the preceding commit refactored it. But now that it is a normal `struct` there isn't really a need for a typedef anymore. Drop the typedef and adapt all callers accordingly.

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

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

hash: require hash algorithm in `hasheq()`, `hashcmp()` and `hashclr()`

2024-06-14T17:26:32Z

Many of our hash functions have two variants, one receiving a `struct git_hash_algo` and one that derives it via `the_repository`. Adapt all of those functions to always require the hash algorithm as input and drop the variants that do not accept one. As those functions are now independent of `the_repository`, we can move them from "hash.h" to "hash-ll.h". Note that both in this and subsequent commits in this series we always just pass `the_repository->hash_algo` as input even if it is obvious that there is a repository in the context that we should be using the hash from instead. This is done to be on the safe side and not introduce any regressions. All callsites should eventually be amended to use a repo passed via parameters, but this is outside the scope of this patch series. 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
