global: mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`

2024-12-06T11:20:02Z

Mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`. This allows for a structured approach to get rid of all such warnings over time in a way that can be easily measured. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'jc/attr-source-tree'

2023-05-17T17:11:41Z

"git --attr-source= cmd $args" is a new way to have any command to read attributes not from the working tree but from the given tree object. * jc/attr-source-tree: attr: teach "--attr-source=" global option to "git"

attr: teach "--attr-source=" global option to "git"

2023-05-06T21:34:09Z

Earlier, 47cfc9bd (attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish, 2023-01-14) taught "git check-attr" the "--source=" option to allow it to read attribute files from a tree-ish, but did so only for the command. Just like "check-attr" users wanted a way to use attributes from a tree-ish and not from the working tree files, users of other commands (like "git diff") would benefit from the same. Undo most of the UI change the commit made, while keeping the internal logic to read attributes from a given tree-ish. Expose the internal logic via a new "--attr-source=" command line option given to "git", so that it can be used with any git command that runs as part of the main git process. Additionally, add an environment variable GIT_ATTR_SOURCE that is set when --attr-source is passed in, so that subprocesses use the same value for the attributes source tree.

attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish

2023-01-14T16:49:55Z

The contents of the .gitattributes files may evolve over time, but "git check-attr" always checks attributes against them in the working tree and/or in the index. It may be beneficial to optionally allow the users to check attributes taken from a commit other than HEAD against paths. Add a new flag `--source` which will allow users to check the attributes against a commit (actually any tree-ish would do). When the user uses this flag, we go through the stack of .gitattributes files but instead of checking the current working tree and/or in the index, we check the blobs from the provided tree-ish object. This allows the command to also be used in bare repositories. Since we use a tree-ish object, the user can pass "--source HEAD:subdirectory" and all the attributes will be looked up as if subdirectory was the root directory of the repository. We cannot simply use the `:` syntax without the `--source` flag, similar to how it is used in `git show` because any non-flag parameter before `--` is treated as an attribute and any parameter after `--` is treated as a pathname. The change involves creating a new function `read_attr_from_blob`, which given the path reads the blob for the path against the provided source and parses the attributes line by line. This function is plugged into `read_attr()` function wherein we go through the stack of attributes files.

convert trivial uses of strncmp() to skip_prefix()

2023-01-08T01:34:37Z

As with the previous patch, using skip_prefix() is more readable and less error-prone than a raw strncmp(), because it avoids a manually-computed length. These cases differ from the previous patch that uses starts_with() because they care about the value after the matched prefix. We can convert these to use skip_prefix() by introducing an extra variable to hold the out-pointer. Note in the case in ws.c that to get rid of the magic number "9" completely, we also switch out "len" for recomputing the pointer difference. These are equivalent because "len" is always "ep - string". Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

ws: drop unused parameter from ws_blank_line()

2022-12-13T13:16:23Z

We take a ws_rule parameter, but have never looked at it since the function was added in 877f23ccb8 (Teach "diff --check" about new blank lines at end, 2008-06-26). A comment in the function does mention how we _could_ use it, but nobody has felt the need to do so for over a decade. We could keep it around as reminder of what could be done, but the comment serves that purpose. And in the meantime, it triggers -Wunused-parameter. So let's drop it, which in turn allows us to drop similar arguments further up the callstack. I've left the comment intact. It does still say "ws_rule", but that name is used consistently in the whitespace code, so the meaning is clear. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
