diff: Support visibility modifiers in the PHP hunk header regexp

2010-05-27T14:12:07Z

Starting with PHP5, class methods can have a visibility modifier, which caused the methods not to be matched by the existing regexp, so extend the regexp to match those modifiers. And while we're at it, allow the "static" modifier as well. Since the "static" modifier can appear either before or after the visibility modifier, let's just allow any number of modifiers to appear in any order, as that simplifies the regexp and shouldn't cause any false positives.

diff: cache textconv output

2010-04-02T07:05:31Z

Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead can add up for something like "git log -p". This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver defined in gitattributes. Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true. In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files changed and a textconv to show their exif tags: [before] $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m13.724s user 0m12.057s sys 0m1.624s [after, first run] $ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m14.252s user 0m12.197s sys 0m1.800s [after, subsequent runs] $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m0.352s user 0m0.148s sys 0m0.200s So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.

git_attr(): fix function signature

2010-01-17T04:39:59Z

The function took (name, namelen) as its arguments, but all the public callers wanted to pass a full string. Demote the counted-string interface to an internal API status, and allow public callers to just pass the string to the function. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

avoid exponential regex match for java and objc function names

2009-06-18T16:52:10Z

In the old regex ^[ \t]*(([ \t]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*){2,}[ \t]*\([^;]*)$ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you can backtrack arbitrarily from [A-Za-z_0-9]* into [A-Za-z_], thus causing an exponential number of backtracks. Ironically it also causes the regex not to work as intended; for example "catch" can match the underlined part of the regex, the first repetition matching "c" and the second matching "atch". The replacement regex avoids this problem, because it makes sure that at least a space/tab is eaten on each repetition. In other words, a suffix of a repetition can never be a prefix of the next repetition. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

color-words: make regex configurable via attributes

2009-01-17T18:44:21Z

Make the --color-words splitting regular expression configurable via the diff driver's 'wordregex' attribute. The user can then set the driver on a file in .gitattributes. If a regex is given on the command line, it overrides the driver's setting. We also provide built-in regexes for the languages that already had funcname patterns, and add an appropriate diff driver entry for C/++. (The patterns are designed to run UTF-8 sequences into a single chunk to make sure they remain readable.) Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

userdiff: require explicitly allowing textconv

2008-10-26T21:09:48Z

Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate them in things like format-patch. This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing). Because both text conversion and external diffing are controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the "plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the config. This was an attempt to control the same thing, but suffered from being too coarse-grained. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: add filter for converting binary to text

2008-10-18T15:02:55Z

When diffing binary files, it is sometimes nice to see the differences of a canonical text form rather than either a binary patch or simply "binary files differ." Until now, the only option for doing this was to define an external diff command to perform the diff. This was a lot of work, since the external command needed to take care of doing the diff itself (including mode changes), and lost the benefit of git's colorization and other options. This patch adds a text conversion option, which converts a file to its canonical format before performing the diff. This is less flexible than an arbitrary external diff, but is much less work to set up. For example: $ echo '*.jpg diff=exif' >>.gitattributes $ git config diff.exif.textconv exiftool $ git config diff.exif.binary false allows one to see jpg diffs represented by the text output of exiftool.

diff: introduce diff..binary

2008-10-18T15:02:26Z

The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It can say one of three things: 1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not (i.e., diff or !diff) 2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script) 3. this file should use particular funcname patterns (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex) Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses, since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g., an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the file is binary). However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo indicates that the file is definitely text. This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true. This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling code had to know more about whether attributes were false, true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations just by passing back a driver struct. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce
