wildmatch: hide internal return values

2023-03-20T17:58:53Z

WM_ABORT_ALL and WM_ABORT_TO_STARSTAR are used internally to limit backtracking when a match fails, they are not of interest to the caller and so should not be public. Suggested-by: Derrick Stolee Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

wildmatch: change behavior of "foo**bar" in WM_PATHNAME mode

2018-10-29T04:19:22Z

In WM_PATHNAME mode (or FNM_PATHNAME), '*' does not match '/' and '**' can but only in three patterns: - '**/' matches zero or more leading directories - '/**/' matches zero or more directories in between - '/**' matches zero or more trailing directories/files When '**' is present but not in one of these patterns, the current behavior is consider the pattern invalid and stop matching. In other words, 'foo**bar' never matches anything, whatever you throw at it. This behavior is arguably a bit confusing partly because we can't really tell the user their pattern is invalid so that they can fix it. So instead, tolerate it and make '**' act like two regular '*'s (which is essentially the same as a single asterisk). This behavior seems more predictable.

wildmatch: remove unused wildopts parameter

2017-06-24T01:27:07Z

Remove the unused wildopts placeholder struct from being passed to all wildmatch() invocations, or rather remove all the boilerplate NULL parameters. This parameter was added back in commit 9b3497cab9 ("wildmatch: rename constants and update prototype", 2013-01-01) as a placeholder for future use. Over 4 years later nothing has made use of it, let's just remove it. It can be added in the future if we find some reason to start using such a parameter.

wildmatch: support "no FNM_PATHNAME" mode

2013-01-01T23:32:37Z

So far, wildmatch() has always honoured directory boundary and there was no way to turn it off. Make it behave more like fnmatch() by requiring all callers that want the FNM_PATHNAME behaviour to pass that in the equivalent flag WM_PATHNAME. Callers that do not specify WM_PATHNAME will get wildcards like ? and * in their patterns matched against '/', just like not passing FNM_PATHNAME to fnmatch().

wildmatch: rename constants and update prototype

2013-01-01T23:32:36Z

- All exported constants now have a prefix WM_ - Do not rely on FNM_* constants, use the WM_ counterparts - Remove TRUE and FALSE to follow Git's coding style - While at it, turn flags type from int to unsigned int - Add an (unused yet) argument to carry extra information so that we don't have to change the prototype again later when we need to pass other stuff to wildmatch Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

wildmatch: adjust "**" behavior

2012-10-15T21:58:18Z

Standard wildmatch() sees consecutive asterisks as "*" that can also match slashes. But that may be hard to explain to users as "abc/**/def" can match "abcdef", "abcxyzdef", "abc/def", "abc/x/def", "abc/x/y/def"... This patch changes wildmatch so that users can do - "**/def" -> all paths ending with file/directory 'def' - "abc/**" - equivalent to "/abc/" - "abc/**/def" -> "abc/x/def", "abc/x/y/def"... - otherwise consider the pattern malformed if "**" is found Basically the magic of "**" only remains if it's wrapped around by slashes.

One place less to worry about thread safety. Also combine wildmatch and iwildmatch into one. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
