parse-options: only insert newline in help text if needed

2017-09-25T05:35:53Z

Currently, when parse_options() produces a help message it always emits a blank line after the usage text to separate it from the options text. If the option spec does not define any switches, or only defines hidden switches that will not be displayed, then the help text will end up with two trailing blank lines instead of one. Let's defer emitting the blank line between the usage text and the options text until it is clear that the options section will not be empty. Fixes t1502.5, t1502.6.

parse-options: write blank line to correct output stream

2017-09-25T05:35:52Z

When commit 54e6dc7 added translation support to parse-options, an fprintf was mistakenly replaced by a call to putchar(). Let's use fputc instead. Fixes t0040.11, t0040.12, t0040.33, and t1502.8. Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'bw/config-h'

2017-06-24T21:28:41Z

Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API into its own header file. * bw/config-h: config: don't implicitly use gitdir or commondir config: respect commondir setup: teach discover_git_directory to respect the commondir config: don't include config.h by default config: remove git_config_iter config: create config.h

config: don't include config.h by default

2017-06-15T19:56:22Z

Stop including config.h by default in cache.h. Instead only include config.h in those files which require use of the config system. Signed-off-by: Brandon Williams Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

C style: use standard style for "TRANSLATORS" comments

2017-05-30T23:01:42Z

Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the example there uses that style. This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18). GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02 it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git comment syntax[1]. Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can make an exception. This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so. There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would happen before xgettext 0.19. Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive", 2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n: git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang already runs a modern xgettext. The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct: #. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or -#. * "rebase -i". +#. "rebase -i". 1. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/commit/?id=10af7fe6bd 2. <2ce9ec406501d112e032c8208417f8100bed04c6.1397712142.git.worldhello.net@gmail.com> (https://public-inbox.org/git/2ce9ec406501d112e032c8208417f8100bed04c6.1397712142.git.worldhello.net@gmail.com/) 3. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2014-04/msg00016.html Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Acked-by: Jiang Xin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

prefix_filename: return newly allocated string

2017-03-21T18:18:41Z

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from parse_chunk()). Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is empty (and we could just return the original file pointer). That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_ allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about performance is questionable anyway). The downside is that the callers need to remember to free() the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate. I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases, though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any situation.

prefix_filename: drop length parameter

2017-03-21T18:12:53Z

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL prefix). In a handful of cases we had the length already without calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway). Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

parse-options: print "fatal:" before usage_msg_opt()

2016-12-14T17:58:09Z

Programs may use usage_msg_opt() to print a brief message followed by the program usage, and then exit. The message isn't prefixed at all, though, so it doesn't match our usual error output and is easy to overlook: $ git clone 1 2 3 Too many arguments. usage: git clone [] [--] [] -v, --verbose be more verbose -q, --quiet be more quiet --progress force progress reporting -n, --no-checkout don't create a checkout --bare create a bare repository [...and so on for another 31 lines...] It looks especially bad when the message starts with an option, like: $ git replace -e -e needs exactly one argument usage: git replace [-f] or: git replace [-f] --edit [...etc...] Let's put our usual "fatal:" prefix in front of it.

parse-options.c: make OPTION_COUNTUP respect "unspecified" values

2016-05-05T18:52:45Z

OPT_COUNTUP() merely increments the counter upon --option, and resets it to 0 upon --no-option, which means that there is no "unspecified" value with which a client can initialize the counter to determine whether or not --[no]-option was seen at all. Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last. This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because they all use the initial value of 0 (or more). Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the initial value of the variable is not negative. To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to "unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior with all sets of values.

parse-options: allow -h as a short option

2015-11-20T13:02:07Z

Let callers provide their own handler for the short option -h even without the flag PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, but call the internal handler (showing usage information) if that is the only parameter. Implement the first part by checking for -h only if parse_short_opt() can't find it and returns -2. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Jeff King
