git/split-index.c, branch v2.16.2

Merge branch 'ab/free-and-null'

2017-06-24T21:28:41Z

A common pattern to free a piece of memory and assign NULL to the pointer that used to point at it has been replaced with a new FREE_AND_NULL() macro. * ab/free-and-null: *.[ch] refactoring: make use of the FREE_AND_NULL() macro coccinelle: make use of the "expression" FREE_AND_NULL() rule coccinelle: add a rule to make "expression" code use FREE_AND_NULL() coccinelle: make use of the "type" FREE_AND_NULL() rule coccinelle: add a rule to make "type" code use FREE_AND_NULL() git-compat-util: add a FREE_AND_NULL() wrapper around free(ptr); ptr = NULL

Revert "split-index: add and use unshare_split_index()"

*.[ch] refactoring: make use of the FREE_AND_NULL() macro

2017-06-16T19:44:09Z

Replace occurrences of `free(ptr); ptr = NULL` which weren't caught by the coccinelle rule. These fall into two categories: - free/NULL assignments one after the other which coccinelle all put on one line, which is functionally equivalent code, but very ugly. - manually spotted occurrences where the NULL assignment isn't right after the free() call.

split-index: add and use unshare_split_index()

2017-05-08T01:50:20Z

When split-index is being used, we have two cache_entry arrays in index_state->cache[] and index_state->split_index->base->cache[]. index_state->cache[] may share the same entries with base->cache[] so we can quickly determine what entries are shared. This makes memory management tricky, we can't free base->cache[] until we know index_state->cache[] does not point to any of those entries. unshare_split_index() is added for this purpose, to find shared entries and either duplicate them in index_state->cache[], or discard them. Either way it should be safe to free base->cache[] after unshare_split_index(). Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

split-index: add {add,remove}_split_index() functions

2017-03-01T21:24:21Z

Also use the functions in cmd_update_index() in builtin/update-index.c. These functions will be used in a following commit to tweak our use of the split-index feature depending on the setting of a configuration variable. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

use COPY_ARRAY

2016-09-25T23:44:13Z

Add a semantic patch for converting certain calls of memcpy(3) to COPY_ARRAY() and apply that transformation to the code base. The result is shorter and safer code. For now only consider calls where source and destination have the same type, or in other words: easy cases. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

typofix: assorted typofixes in comments, documentation and messages

Many instances of duplicate words (e.g. "the the path") and a few typoes are fixed, originally in multiple patches. wildmatch: fix duplicate words of "the" t: fix duplicate words of "output" transport-helper: fix duplicate words of "read" Git.pm: fix duplicate words of "return" path: fix duplicate words of "look" pack-protocol.txt: fix duplicate words of "the" precompose-utf8: fix typo of "sequences" split-index: fix typo worktree.c: fix typo remote-ext: fix typo utf8: fix duplicate words of "the" git-cvsserver: fix duplicate words Signed-off-by: Li Peng Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

update-index: new options to enable/disable split index mode

2014-06-13T18:49:41Z

If you have a large work tree but only make changes in a subset, then $GIT_DIR/index's size should be stable after a while. If you change branches that touch something else, $GIT_DIR/index's size may grow large that it becomes as slow as the unified index. Do --split-index again occasionally to force all changes back to the shared index and keep $GIT_DIR/index small. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
