2024-08-04t-reftable-tree: split test_tree() into two sub-test functionsChandra Pratap-4/+19
In the current testing setup, tests for both tree_search() and infix_walk() defined by reftable/tree.{c, h} are performed by a single test function, test_tree(). Split tree_test() into test_tree_search() and test_infix_walk() responsible for independently testing tree_search() and infix_walk() respectively. This improves the overall readability of the test file as well as simplifies debugging. Note that the last parameter in the tree_search() functiom is 'int insert' which when set, inserts the key if it is not found in the tree. Otherwise, the function returns NULL for such cases. While at it, use 'func' to pass function pointers and not '&func'.

2024-08-04t: move reftable/tree_test.c to the unit testing frameworkChandra Pratap-63/+61
reftable/tree_test.c exercises the functions defined in reftable/tree.{c, h}. Migrate reftable/tree_test.c to the unit testing framework. Migration involves refactoring the tests to use the unit testing framework instead of reftable's test framework and renaming the tests to align with unit-tests' standards. Also add a comment to help understand the test routine. Note that this commit mostly moves the test from reftable/ to t/unit-tests/ and most of the refactoring is performed by the trailing commits.

2024-08-03git-gui: Remove forced rescan of stat-dirty files.Johannes Sixt-21/+8
It is possible that stat information of tracked files is modified without actually modifying the content. Plumbing commands would detect such files as modified, so that Git GUI runs `git update-info --refresh` in order to synchronize the cached stat info with the reality. However, this can be an expensive operation in large repositories. As remediation, e534f3a88676 (git-gui: Allow the user to disable update-index --refresh during rescan, 2006-11-07) introduced an option to skip the expensive part. The option was named "trust file modification timestamp". But the catch is that sometimes file timestamps can't be trusted. In this case, a file would remain listed in Unstaged Changes although there are no changes. So 16403d0b1f9d (git-gui: Refresh a file if it has an empty diff, 2006-11-11) introduced a popup message informing the user about the situation and then removed the file from the Unstaged Changes list. Now users had to click away the message box for every file that was stat-dirty. Under the assumption that a file in such a state is not the only one, 124355d32c06 (git-gui: Always start a rescan on an empty diff, 2007-01-22) introduced a forced (potentially expensive) refresh that would de-list all stat-dirty files after the first notification was dismissed. Along came 6c510bee2013 (Lazy man's auto-CRLF, 2007-02-13) in Git. It introduced a new case where a file in the worktree can have no essential differences to the staged version, but still be detected as modified by plumbing commands. This time, however, the index cannot be synchronized fully by `git update-index --refresh`, so that the file remains listed in Unstaged Changes until it is staged manually. Needless to say that the message box now becomes an annoyance, because it must be dismissed every time an affected file is selected, and the file remains listed nevertheless. Remove the message box. Write the notice that no differences were found in the diff panel instead. Also include a link that, when clicked, initiates the rescan. With this scheme, the rescan does not happen automatically anymore, but requires an additional click. (This is now two clicks in total for users who encounter stat-dirty files after enabling the "trust file modification timestamps" option.) However, users whom the rescan does not help (autocrlf-related dirty files) save half the clicks because there is no message box to dismiss. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
2024-08-02Documentation: add platform support policyEmily Shaffer-0/+191
Supporting many platforms is only possible when we have the right tools to ensure that support. Teach platform maintainers how they can help us to help them, by explaining what kind of tooling support we would like to have, and what level of support becomes available as a result. Provide examples so that platform maintainers can see what we're asking for in practice. With this policy in place, we can make changes with stronger assurance that we are not breaking anybody we promised not to. Instead, we can feel confident that our existing testing and integration practices protect those who care from breakage.

2024-08-02refs: drop `ref_store`-less functionsPatrick Steinhardt-207/+0
In c8f815c208 (refs: remove functions without ref store, 2024-05-07), we have removed functions of the refs subsystem that do not take a ref store as input parameter. In order to make it easier for folks to figure out how to replace calls to such functions in in-flight patch series, we kept their definitions around in an ifdeffed block. Now that Git v2.46 is out, it is rather unlikely that anybody still has references to these old functions in their unreleased patches. Let's thus drop them.

2024-08-02builtin/ls-remote: fall back to SHA1 outside of a repoPatrick Steinhardt-0/+28
In c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07), we have stopped setting the default hash algorithm for `the_repository`. Consequently, code that relies on `the_hash_algo` will now crash when it hasn't explicitly been initialized, which may be the case when running outside of a Git repository. It was reported that git-ls-remote(1) may crash in such a way when using a remote helper that advertises refspecs. This is because the refspec announced by the helper will get parsed during capability negotiation. At that point we haven't yet figured out what object format the remote uses though, so when run outside of a repository then we will fail. The course of action is somewhat dubious in the first place. Ideally, we should only parse object IDs once we have asked the remote helper for the object format. And if the helper didn't announce the "object-format" capability, then we should always assume SHA256. But instead, we used to take either SHA1 if there was no repository, or we used the hash of the local repository, which is wrong. Arguably though, crashing hard may not be in the best interest of our users, either. So while the old behaviour was buggy, let's restore it for now as a short-term fix. We should eventually revisit, potentially by deferring the point in time when we parse the refspec until after we have figured out the remote's object hash.

But in the final shape of the test suite, such a code should not exist.

2024-08-01config.c: avoid segfault with --fixed-value and valueless configTaylor Blau-1/+10
When using `--fixed-value` with a key whose value is left empty (implied as being "true"), 'git config' may crash when invoked like either of: $ git config set --file=config --value=value --fixed-value \ section.key pattern $ git config --file=config --fixed-value section.key value pattern The original bugreport[1] bisects to 00bbdde141 (builtin/config: introduce "set" subcommand, 2024-05-06), which is a red-herring, since the original bugreport uses the new 'git config set' invocation. The behavior likely bisects back to c90702a1f6 (config: plumb --fixed-value into config API, 2020-11-25), which introduces the new --fixed-value option in the first place. Looking at the relevant frame from a failed process's coredump, the crash appears in config.c::matches() like so: (gdb) up #1 0x000055b3e8b06022 in matches (key=0x55b3ea894360 "section.key", value=0x0, store=0x7ffe99076eb0) at config.c:2884 2884 return !strcmp(store->fixed_value, value); where we are trying to compare the `--fixed-value` argument to `value`, which is NULL. Avoid attempting to match `--fixed-value` for configuration keys with no explicit value. A future patch could consider the empty value to mean "true", "yes", "on", etc. when invoked with `--type=bool`, but let's punt on that for now in the name of avoiding the segfault.

2024-08-01t-reftable-pq: add test for index based comparisonChandra Pratap-6/+42

2024-08-01credential/osxkeychain: respect NUL terminator in usernameJeff King-1/+1
This patch fixes a case where git-credential-osxkeychain might output uninitialized bytes to stdout. We need to get the username string from a system API using CFStringGetCString(). To do that, we get the max size for the string from CFStringGetMaximumSizeForEncoding(), allocate a buffer based on that, and then read into it. But then we print the entire buffer to stdout, including the trailing NUL and any extra bytes which were not needed. Instead, we should stop at the NUL. This code comes from 9abe31f5f1 (osxkeychain: replace deprecated SecKeychain API, 2024-02-17). The bug was probably overlooked back then because this code is only used as a fallback when we can't get the string via CFStringGetCStringPtr(). According to Apple's documentation: Whether or not this function returns a valid pointer or NULL depends on many factors, all of which depend on how the string was created and its properties. So it's not clear how we could make a test for this, and we'll have to rely on manually testing on a system that triggered the bug in the first place.

2024-08-01entry: fix leaking pathnames during delayed checkoutPatrick Steinhardt-2/+6
When filtering files during delayed checkout, we pass a string list to `async_query_available_blobs()`. This list is initialized with NODUP, and thus inserted strings will not be owned by the list. In the latter function we then try to hand over ownership by passing an `xstrup()`'d value to `string_list_insert()`. But this is not how this works: a NODUP list does not take ownership of allocated strings and will never free them for the caller. Fix this issue by initializing the list as `DUP` instead and dropping the explicit call to `xstrdup()`. This is okay to do given that this is the single callsite of `async_query_available_blobs()`.

2024-08-01object-name: fix leaking commit list itemsPatrick Steinhardt-10/+19
When calling `get_oid_oneline()`, we pass in a `struct commit_list` that gets modified by the function. This creates a weird situation where the commit list may sometimes be empty after returning, but sometimes it will continue to carry additional commits. In those cases the remainder of the list leaks. Ultimately, the design where we only pass partial ownership to `get_oid_oneline()` feels shoddy. Refactor the code such that we only pass a constant pointer to the list, creating a local copy as needed.

2024-08-01builtin/submodule--helper: fix leaking clone depth parameterPatrick Steinhardt-6/+5
The submodule helper supports a `--depth` parameter for both its "add" and "clone" subcommands, which in both cases end up being forwarded to git-clone(1). But while the former subcommand uses an `OPT_INTEGER()` to parse the depth, the latter uses `OPT_STRING()`. Consequently, it is possible to pass non-integer input to "--depth" when calling the "clone" subcommand, where the value will then ultimately cause git-clone(1) to bail out. Besides the fact that the parameter verification should happen earlier, the submodule helper infrastructure also internally tracks the depth via a string. This requires us to convert the integer in the "add" subcommand into an allocated string, and this string ultimately leaks. Refactor the code to consistently track the clone depth as an integer. This plugs the memory leak, simplifies the code and allows us to use `OPT_INTEGER()` instead of `OPT_STRING()`, validating the input before we shell out to git--clone(1).

We never free the `struct strvec args` variable in `describe_blob()`, which thus causes a memory leak. Fix this. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-08-01builtin/describe: fix leaking array when running diff-indexPatrick Steinhardt-3/+3
When running git-describe(1) with `--dirty`, we will set up a `struct rev_info` with arguments for git-diff-index(1). The way we assemble the arguments it causes two memory leaks though: - We never release the `struct strvec`. - `setup_revisions()` may end up removing some entries from the `strvec`, which we wouldn't free even if we released the struct. While we could plug those leaks, this is ultimately unnecessary as the arguments we pass are part of a static array anyway. So instead, refactor the code to drop the `struct strvec` and just pass this static array directly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-08-01builtin/describe: fix memory leak with `--contains=`Patrick Steinhardt-1/+17
When calling `git describe --contains=`, we end up invoking `cmd_name_rev()` with some munged argv array. This array may contain allocated strings and furthermore will likely be modified by the called function. This results in two memory leaks: - First, we leak the array that we use to assemble the arguments. - Second, we leak the allocated strings that we may have put into the array. Fix those leaks by creating a separate copy of the array that we can hand over to `cmd_name_rev()`. This allows us to free all strings contained in the `strvec`, as the original vector will not be modified anymore. Furthermore, free both the `strvec` and the copied array to fix the first memory leak. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-08-01builtin/log: fix leaking branch name when creating cover lettersPatrick Steinhardt-1/+4
When calling `make_cover_letter()` without a branch name, we try to derive the branch name by calling `find_branch_name()`. But while this function returns an allocated string, we never free the result and thus have a memory leak. Fix this.

2024-08-01builtin/replay: plug leaking `advance_name` variablePatrick Steinhardt-6/+15
The `advance_name` variable can either contain a static string when parsed via the `--advance` command line option or it may be an allocated string when set via `determine_replay_mode()`. Because we cannot be sure whether it is allocated or not we just didn't free it at all, resulting in a memory leak. Split up the variables such that we can track the static and allocated strings separately and then free the allocated one to fix the memory leak.
