strvec: declare the `strvec_push_nodup()` function globally

2024-07-13T23:23:36Z

This function differs from `strvec_push()` in that it takes ownership of the allocated string that is passed as second argument. This is useful when appending elements to the string array that have been freshly allocated and serve no further other purpose after that. Without declaring this function globally, call sites would allocate the memory, only to have `strvec_push()` duplicate the string, and then the first copy would need to be released. Having this function globally avoids that kind of unnecessary work. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

strvec: add functions to replace and remove strings

2024-05-27T18:20:02Z

Add two functions that allow to replace and remove strings contained in the strvec. This will be used by a subsequent commit that refactors git-mv(1). While at it, add a bunch of unit tests that cover both old and new functionality. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

strvec: drop unnecessary include of hex.h

2023-11-02T23:26:55Z

In 41771fa435 (cache.h: remove dependence on hex.h; make other files include it explicitly, 2023-02-24) we added this as part of a larger mechanical refactor. But strvec doesn't actually depend on hex.h, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Linus Arver 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.

alloc.h: move ALLOC_GROW() functions from cache.h

2023-02-24T01:25:28Z

This allows us to replace includes of cache.h with includes of the much smaller alloc.h in many places. It does mean that we also need to add includes of alloc.h in a number of C files. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

.c _init(): define in terms of corresponding *_INIT macro

2021-07-01T19:32:22Z

Change the common patter in the codebase of duplicating the initialization logic between an *_INIT macro and a corresponding *_init() function to use the macro as the canonical source of truth. Now we no longer need to keep the function up-to-date with the macro version. This implements a suggestion by Jeff King who found that under -O2 [1] modern compilers will init new version in place without the extra copy[1]. The performance of a single *_init() won't matter in most cases, but even if it does we're going to be producing efficient machine code to perform these operations. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/YNyrDxUO1PlGJvCn@coredump.intra.peff.net/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

strvec: rename struct fields

2020-07-31T02:18:06Z

The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array, but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

strvec: rename files from argv-array to strvec

2020-07-28T22:02:17Z

This requires updating #include lines across the code-base, but that's all fairly mechanical, and was done with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe 's/argv-array.h/strvec.h/' Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
