2025-11-17xdiff: add 'minimal' to XDF_DIFF_ALGORITHM_MASKAntonin Delpeuch1-1/+0
The XDF_DIFF_ALGORITHM_MASK bit mask only includes bits for the patience and histogram diffs, not for the minimal one. This means that when reseting the diff algorithm to the default one, one needs to separately clear the bit for the minimal diff. There are places in the code that fail to do that: merge-ort.c and builtin/merge-file.c. Add the XDF_NEED_MINIMAL bit to the bit mask, and remove the separate clearing of this bit in the places where it hasn't been forgotten.

2025-11-12diff: highlight and error out on incomplete linesJunio C Hamano1-2/+27
Teach "git diff" to highlight "\ No newline at end of file" message as a whitespace error when incomplete-line whitespace error class is in effect. Thanks to the previous refactoring of complete rewrite code path, we can do this at a single place. Unlike whitespace errors in the payload where we need to annotate in line, possibly using colors, the line that has whitespace problems, we have a dedicated line already that can serve as the error message, so paint it as a whitespace error message. Also teach "git diff --check" to notice incomplete lines as whitespace errors and report when incomplete-line whitespace error class is in effect. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-11-12diff: update the way rewrite diff handles incomplete linesJunio C Hamano1-15/+22
The diff_symbol based output framework uses one DIFF_SYMBOL_* enum value per the kind of output lines of "git diff", which corresponds to one output line from the xdiff machinery used internally. Most notably, DIFF_SYMBOL_PLUS and DIFF_SYMBOL_MINUS that correspond to "+" and "-" lines are designed to always take a complete line, even if the output from xdiff machinery may produce "\ No newline at the end of file" immediately after them. But this is not true in the rewrite-diff codepath, which completely bypasses the xdiff machinery. Since the code path feeds the bytes directly from the payload to the output routines, the output layer has to deal with an incomplete line with DIFF_SYMBOL_PLUS and DIFF_SYMBOL_MINUS, which never would see an incomplete line in the normal code paths. This lack of final newline is compensated by an ugly hack for a fabricated DIFF_SYMBOL_NO_LF_EOF token to inject an extra newline to the output to simulate output coming from the xdiff machinery. Revamp the way the complete-rewrite code path feeds the lines to the output layer by treating the last line of the pre/post image when it is an incomplete line specially. This lets us remove the DIFF_SYMBOL_NO_LF_EOF hack and use the usual DIFF_SYMBOL_CONTEXT_INCOMPLETE code path, which will later learn how to handle whitespace errors.

2025-11-12diff: refactor output of incomplete lineJunio C Hamano1-2/+12
Create a helper function that reacts to "\ No newline at the end of file" in preparation for unifying the incomplete line handling in the code path that handles xdiff output and the code path that bypasses xdiff and produces a complete-rewrite patch. Currently the output from the DIFF_SYMBOL_CONTEXT_INCOMPLETE case still (ab)uses the same code as what is used for context lines, but that would change in a later step where we introduce support to treat an incomplete line as a whitespace error.

2025-11-12diff: keep track of the type of the last line seenJunio C Hamano1-0/+11
The "\ No newline at the end of the file" can come after any of the "-" (deleted preimage line), " " (unchanged line), or "+" (added postimage line). In later steps in this series, we will start treating a change that makes a file to end in an incomplete line as a whitespace error, and we would need to know what the previous line was when we react to "\ No newline" in the diff output. If the previous line was a context (i.e., unchanged) line, the file lacked the final newline before the change, and the change did not touch that line and left it still incomplete, so we do not want to warn in such a case. Teach fn_out_consume() function to keep track of what the previous line was, and prepare an otherwise empty switch statement to let us react differently to "\ No newline" based on that. Note that there is an existing curiosity (read: likely to be a bug) in the code that increments line number in the preimage file every time it sees a line with "\ No newline" on it, regardless of what the previous line was. I left it as-is, because it does not affect the main theme of this series, and more importantly, I do not think it matters, as these numbers are used only to compare them with blank_at_eof_in_{pre,post}image to issue a warning when we see more empty line was added at the end, but by definition, after we see "\ No newline at the end of the file" for an added line, we will not see an added line for the file. An independent audit to ensure that this curious increment can be safely removed would make a good #leftoverbits clean-up (we may even find some code that decrements this counter or over-increments the other quantity this counter is compared with that compensates the effect of this curious increment that hides a bug, in which case we may also need to remove them).

2025-11-12diff: correct suppress_blank_empty hackJunio C Hamano1-16/+11
The suppress-blank-empty feature abused the CONTEXT_INCOMPLETE symbol that was meant to be used only for "\ No newline at the end of file" code path. The intent of the feature was to turn a context line we receive from xdiff machinery (which always uses ' ' for context lines, even an empty one) and spit it out as a truly empty line. Perform such a conversion very locally at where a line from xdiff that begins with ' ' is handled for output; there are many checks before the control reaches such place that checks the first letter of the diff output line to see if it is a context line, and having to check for '\n' and treat it as a special case is error prone. In order to catch similar hacks in the future, make sure the code path that is meant for "\ No newline" case checks the first byte is indeed a backslash.

Correct them, and clarify where the whitespace rule bits come from in the comment. Extend bit assignment comments to cover bits used for color-moved, which weren't described. Also update the way these bit constants are defined to use (1 << N) notation, instead of octal constants, as it tends to make it easier to notice a breakage like this.

2025-11-10diff: disable rename detection with --quietRené Scharfe1-0/+2
Detecting renames and copies improves diff's output. This effort is wasted if we don't show any. Disable detection in that case. This actually fixes the error code when using the options --cached, --find-copies-harder, --no-ext-diff and --quiet together: run_diff_index() indirectly calls diff-lib.c::show_modified(), which queues even non-modified entries using diff_change() because we need them for copy detection. diff_change() sets flags.has_changes, though, which causes diff_can_quit_early() to declare we're done after seeing only the very first entry -- way too soon. Using --cached, --find-copies-harder and --quiet together without --no-ext-diff was not affected even before, as it causes the flag flags.diff_from_contents to be set, which disables the optimization in a different way.

2025-10-24diff: simplify run_external_diff() quiet logicJeff King1-3/+2
We'd sometimes end up in run_external_diff() to do a dry-run diff (e.g., to find content-level changes for --quiet). We recognize this quiet mode by seeing the lack of DIFF_FORMAT_PATCH in the output format. But since introducing an explicit dry-run check via 3ed5d8bd73 (diff: stop output garbled message in dry run mode, 2025-10-20), this logic can never trigger. We can only get to this function by calling diff_flush_patch(), and that comes from only two places: 1. A dry-run flush comes from diff_flush_patch_quietly(), which is always in dry-run mode (so the other half of our "||" is true anyway). 2. A regular flush comes from diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(), which is only called when output_format has DIFF_FORMAT_PATCH in it. So we can simplify our "quiet" condition to just checking dry-run mode (which used to be a specific flag, but recently became just a NULL "file" pointer). And since it's so simple, we can just do that inline. This makes the logic about o->file more obvious, since we handle the NULL and non-stdout cases next to each other.

2025-10-24diff: drop dry-run redirection to /dev/nullJeff King1-28/+3
As an added protection against dry-run diffs accidentally producing output, we redirect diff_options.file to /dev/null. But as of the previous patch, this now does nothing, since dry-run diffs are implemented by setting "file" to NULL. So we can drop this extra code with no change in behavior. This is effectively a revert of 623f7af284 (diff: restore redirection to /dev/null for diff_from_contents, 2025-10-17) and 3da4413dbc (diff: make sure the other caller of diff_flush_patch_quietly() is silent, 2025-10-22), but: 1. We get a conflict because we already dropped the color_moved handling in an earlier patch. But we just resolve the conflicts to "theirs" (removing all of the code). 2. We retain the test from 623f7af284. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-24diff: replace diff_options.dry_run flag with NULL fileJeff King1-8/+8
We introduced a dry_run flag to diff_options in b55e6d36eb (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options, 2025-08-08), with the idea that the lower-level diff code could skip output when it is set. As we saw with the bugs fixed by 3ed5d8bd73 (diff: stop output garbled message in dry run mode, 2025-10-20), it is easy to miss spots. In the end, we located all of them by checking where diff_options.file is used. That suggests another possible approach: we can replace the dry_run boolean with a NULL pointer for "file", as we know that using "file" in dry_run mode would always be an error. This turns any missed spots from producing extra output[1] into a segfault. Which is less forgiving, but that is the point: this is indicative of a programming error, and complaining loudly and immediately is good. [1] We protect ourselves against garbled output as a separate step, courtesy of 623f7af284 (diff: restore redirection to /dev/null for diff_from_contents, 2025-10-17). So in that sense this patch can only introduce user-visible errors (since any "bugs" were going to /dev/null before), but the idea is to catch them rather than quietly send garbage to /dev/null.

2025-10-24diff: drop save/restore of color_moved in dry-run modeJeff King1-4/+0
When running a dry-run content-level diff to check whether a "--quiet" diff has any changes, we have always unset the color_moved variable since the feature was added in 2e2d5ac184 (diff.c: color moved lines differently, 2017-06-30). The reasoning is not given explicitly there, but presumably the idea is that since color_moved requires a lot of extra computation to match lines but does not actually affect the found_changes flag, we want to skip it. Later, in 3da4413dbc (diff: make sure the other caller of diff_flush_patch_quietly() is silent, 2025-10-22) we copied the same idea for other dry-run diffs. But neither spot actually needs to reset this flag at all, because diff_flush_patch() will not ever compute color_moved. Nor could it, as it is only looking at a single file-pair, and we detect moves across files. So color_moved is checked only when we are actually doing real DIFF_FORMAT_PATCH output, and call diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(). So we can get rid of these extra lines to save and restore the color_moved flag without changing the behavior at all. (Note that there is no "restore" to drop for the second caller, as we know at that point we are not generating any output and can just leave the feature disabled).

2025-10-24diff: send external diff output to diff_options.fileJeff King1-1/+4
Diff output usually goes to the process stdout, but it can be redirected with the "--output" option. We store this in the "file" pointer of diff_options, and all of the diff code should write there instead of to stdout. But there's one spot we missed: running an external diff cmd. We don't redirect its output at all, so it just defaults to the stdout of the parent process. We should instead point its stdout at our output file. There are a few caveats to watch out for when doing so: - The stdout field takes a descriptor, not a FILE pointer. We can pull out the descriptor with fileno(). - The run-command API always closes the stdout descriptor we pass to it. So we must duplicate it (otherwise we break the FILE pointer, since it now points to a closed descriptor). - We don't need to worry about closing our dup'd descriptor, since the point is that run-command will do it for us (even in the case of an error). But we do need to make sure we skip the dup() if we set no_stdout (because then run-command will not look at it at all). - When the output is going to stdout, it would not be wrong to dup() the descriptor, but we don't need to. We can skip that extra work with a simple pointer comparison. - It seems like you'd need to fflush() the descriptor before handing off a copy to the child process to prevent out-of-order writes. But that was true even before this patch! It works because run-command always calls fflush(NULL) before running the child. The new test shows the breakage (and fix). The need for duplicating the descriptor doesn't need a new test; that is covered by the later test "GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF with more than one changed files".

2025-10-23diff: stop output garbled message in dry run modeLidong Yan1-2/+6
Earlier, b55e6d36 (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options, 2025-08-08) introduced "dry-run" mode to the diff machinery so that content-based diff filtering (like ignoring space changes or those that match -I<regex>) can first try to produce a patch without emitting any output to see if under the given diff filtering condition we would get any output lines, and a new helper function diff_flush_patch_quietly() was introduced to use the mode to see an individual filepair needs to be shown. However, the solution was not complete. When files are deleted, file modes change, or there are unmerged entries in the index, dry-run mode still produces output because we overlooked these conditions, and as a result, dry-run mode was not quiet. To fix this, return early in emit_diff_symbol_from_struct() if we are in dry-run mode. This function will be called by all the emit functions to output the results. Returning early can avoid diff output when files are deleted or file modes are changed. Stop print message in dry-run mode if we have unmerged entries in index. Discard output of external diff tool in dry-run mode. Signed-off-by: Lidong Yan <yldhome2d2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-10-17diff: restore redirection to /dev/null for diff_from_contentsJeff King1-0/+9
In --quiet mode, since we produce only an exit code for "something was changed" and no actual output, we can often get by with just a tree-level diff. However, certain options require us to actually look at the file contents (e.g., if we are ignoring whitespace changes). We have a flag "diff_from_contents" for that, and if it is set we call diff_flush() on each path. To avoid producing any output (since we were asked to be --quiet), we traditionally just redirected the output to /dev/null. That changed in b55e6d36eb (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options, 2025-08-08), which replaced that with a "dry_run" flag. In theory, with dry_run set, we should produce no output. But it carries a risk of regression: if we forget to respect dry_run in any of the output paths, we'll accidentally produce output. And indeed, there is at least one such regression in that commit, as it covered only the case where we actually call into xdiff, and not creation or deletion diffs, where we manually generate the headers. We even test this case in t4035, but only with diff-tree, which does not show the bug by default because it does not require diff_from_contents. But git-diff does, because it allows external diff programs by default (so we must dig into each diff filepair to decide if it requires running an external diff that may declare two distinct blobs to actually be the same). We should fix all of those code paths to respect dry_run correctly, but in the meantime we can protect ourselves more fully by restoring the redirection to /dev/null. This gives us an extra layer of protection against regressions dues to other code paths we've missed. Though the original issue was reported with "git diff" (and due to its default of --ext-diff), I've used "diff-tree -w" in the new test. It triggers the same issue, but I think the fact that "-w" implies diff_from_contents is a bit more obvious, and fits in with the rest of t4035.

2025-09-16color: use git_colorbool enum type to store colorboolsJeff King1-3/+3
We traditionally used "int" to store and pass around the values defined by "enum git_colorbool" (which were originally just #define macros). Using an int doesn't produce incorrect results, but using the actual enum makes the intent of the code more clear. It would be nice if the compiler could catch cases where we used the enum and an int interchangeably, since it's very easy to accidentally check the boolean true/false of a colorbool like: if (branch_use_color) This is wrong because GIT_COLOR_UNKNOWN and GIT_COLOR_AUTO evaluate to true in C, even though we may ultimately decide not to use color. But C is pretty happy to convert between ints and enums (even with various -Wenum-* warnings). So this sadly doesn't protect us from such mistakes, but it hopefully does make the code easier to read.

2025-09-16diff: stop passing ecbdata->use_color as booleanJeff King1-3/+3
In emit_hunk_header(), we evaluate ecbdata->color_diff both as a git_colorbool, passing it to diff_get_color(): const char *reset = diff_get_color(ecbdata->color_diff, DIFF_RESET); and as a strict boolean: const char *reverse = ecbdata->color_diff ? GIT_COLOR_REVERSE : ""; At first glance this seems wrong. Usually we store the color decision as a git_colorbool, so the second line would get confused by GIT_COLOR_AUTO (which is boolean true, but may still mean we do not produce color). However, the second line is correct because our caller sets color_diff using want_color(), which collapses the colorbool to a strict true/false boolean. The first line is _also_ correct because of the idempotence of want_color(). Even though diff_get_color() will pass our true/false value through want_color() again, the result will be left untouched. But let's pass through the colorbool itself, which makes it more consistent with the rest of the diff code. We'll need to then call want_color() whenever we treat it as a boolean, but there is only such spot (the one quoted above).

2025-09-16diff: pass o->use_color directly to fill_metainfo()Jeff King1-1/+1
We pass the use_color parameter of fill_metainfo() as a strict boolean, using: want_color(o->use_color) && !pgm to derive its value. But then inside the function, we pass it to diff_get_color(), which expects one of the git_colorbool enum values, and so feeds it to want_color() again. Even though want_color() produces a strict 0/1 boolean, this doesn't produce wrong results because want_color() is idempotent. Since GIT_COLOR_ALWAYS and NEVER are defined as 1 and 0, and because want_color() passes through those values, evaluating "want_color(foo)" and "want_color(want_color(foo))" will return the same result. But as part of a longer strategy to align the types we use for storing these values, let's pass through the colorbool directly. To handle the "&&" case here, we'll convert the presence of "pgm" into "NEVER", which arguably makes the intent of the code more clear anyway.

2025-09-16diff: don't use diff_options.use_color as a strict boolJeff King1-3/+2
We disable --color-moved if color is not in use at all. This happens in diff_setup_done(), where we set options->color_moved to 0 if options->use_color is not true. But a strict boolean check here is not correct; use_color could be GIT_COLOR_UNKNOWN or GIT_COLOR_AUTO, both of which evaluate to true, even though we may later decide not to show colors. We should be using want_color() to convert that git_colorbool into a true boolean. As it turns out, this does not produce wrong output. Even though we go to the trouble to detect the moved lines, ultimately we get the color values from diff_get_color(), which does check want_color(). And so it returns the empty string for each color, and we "color" the result with nothing. So the output is correct, but there is a small but measurable performance cost to doing the line detection. E.g., in git.git before and after this patch (there are no colors shown because hyperfine redirects output to /dev/null): Benchmark 1: ./git.old log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000 Time (mean ± σ): 1.019 s ± 0.013 s [User: 0.955 s, System: 0.064 s] Range (min … max): 1.005 s … 1.045 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: ./git.new log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000 Time (mean ± σ): 982.9 ms ± 14.5 ms [User: 925.8 ms, System: 57.1 ms] Range (min … max): 965.1 ms … 1003.2 ms 10 runs Summary ./git.new log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000 ran 1.04 ± 0.02 times faster than ./git.old log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000 Note that the fix is not quite as simple as just calling want_color() from diff_setup_done(). There's a subtle timing issue that goes back to daa0c3d971 (color: delay auto-color decision until point of use, 2011-08-17), the commit that adds want_color() in the first place. As discussed there, we must delay evaluating the colorbool value until all pager setup is complete. So instead, we'll leave the "color_moved" field intact in diff_setup_done(), and modify the point where it is evaluated.

In diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(), we set o->emitted_symbols if and only if o->color_moved is true. That causes the lower-level routines to fill up o->emitted_symbols, which we then analyze in order to do the actual colorizing. But in that final step, we do: if (o->emitted_symbols) { if (o->color_moved) { ...actual coloring... } ...clean up of emitted_symbols... } The inner "if" will always trigger, since we set emitted_symbols only when doing color_moved (it is a little confusing that it is set inside the diff_options struct, but that is for convenience of passing it to the lower-level routines; we always clear it at the end of flushing, since 48edf3a02a (diff: clear emitted_symbols flag after use, 2019-01-24)). Let's simplify the code a bit by just dropping the inner "if" and running its block unconditionally. In theory the current code might be useful if another feature besides color_moved setup and used emitted_symbols, but it would be easy to refactor later to handle that. And in the meantime, this makes further work in this area easier. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-09-16color: use GIT_COLOR_* instead of numeric constantsJeff King1-3/+3
Long ago Git's decision to show color for a subsytem was stored in a tri-state variable: it could be true (1), false (0), or unknown (-1). But since daa0c3d971 (color: delay auto-color decision until point of use, 2011-08-17) we want to carry around a new state, "auto", which bases the decision on the tty-ness of stdout (rather than collapsing that "auto" state to a true/false immediately). That commit introduced a set of GIT_COLOR_* defines to represent each state: UNKNOWN, ALWAYS, NEVER, and AUTO. But it only used the AUTO value, and left alone code using bare 0/1/-1 values. And of course since then we've grown many new spots that use those bare values. Let's switch all of these to use the named constants. That should make the code a bit easier to read, as it is more obvious that we're representing a color decision.

2025-08-08diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore optionsLidong Yan1-14/+50
In git-diff, options like `-w` and `-I<regex>`, two files are considered equivalent under the specified "ignore" rules, even when they are not bit-for-bit identical. For options like `--raw`, `--name-status`, and `--name-only`, git-diff deliberately compares only the SHA values to determine whether two files are equivalent, for performance reasons. As a result, a file shown in `git diff --name-status` may not appear in `git diff --patch`. To quickly determine whether two files are equivalent, add a helper function diff_flush_patch_quietly() in diff.c. Add `.dry_run` field in `struct diff_options`. When `.dry_run` is true, builtin_diff() returns immediately upon finding any change. Call diff_flush_patch_quietly() to determine if we should flush `--raw`, `--name-only` or `--name-status` output.

2025-08-07diff: teach tree-diff a max-depth parameterJeff King1-0/+24
When you are doing a tree-diff, there are basically two options: do not recurse into subtrees at all, or recurse indefinitely. While most callers would want to always recurse and see full pathnames, some may want the efficiency of looking only at a particular level of the tree. This is currently easy to do for the top-level (just turn off recursion), but you cannot say "show me what changed in subdir/, but do not recurse". This patch adds a max-depth parameter which is measured from the closest pathspec match, so that you can do: git log --raw --max-depth=1 -- a/b/c and see the raw output for a/b/c/, but not those of a/b/c/d/ (instead of the raw output you would see for a/b/c/d).

2025-04-17global: use designated initializers for optionsPatrick Steinhardt1-4/+9
While we expose macros for most of our different option types understood by the "parse-options" subsystem, not every combination of fields that has one as that would otherwise quickly lead to an explosion of macros. Instead, we just initialize structures manually for those variants of fields that don't have a macro. Callsites that open-code these structure initialization don't use designated initializers though and instead just provide values for each of the fields that they want to initialize. This has three significant downsides: - Callsites need to specify all values up to the last field that they care about. This often includes fields that should simply be left at their default zero-initialized state, which adds distraction. - Any reader not deeply familiar with the layout of the structure has a hard time figuring out what the respective initializers mean. - Reordering or introducing new fields in the middle of the structure is impossible without adapting all callsites. Convert all sites to instead use designated initializers, which we have started using in our codebase quite a while ago. This allows us to skip any default-initialized fields, gives the reader context by specifying the field names and allows us to reorder or introduce new fields where we want to.

2025-03-10hash: stop depending on `the_repository` in `null_oid()`Patrick Steinhardt1-4/+4
The `null_oid()` function returns the object ID that only consists of zeroes. Naturally, this ID also depends on the hash algorithm used, as the number of zeroes is different between SHA1 and SHA256. Consequently, the function returns the hash-algorithm-specific null object ID. This is currently done by depending on `the_hash_algo`, which implicitly makes us depend on `the_repository`. Refactor the function to instead pass in the hash algorithm for which we want to retrieve the null object ID. Adapt callsites accordingly by passing in `the_repository`, thus bubbling up the dependency on that global variable by one layer. There are a couple of trivial exceptions for subsystems that already got rid of `the_repository`. These subsystems instead use the repository that is available via the calling context: - "builtin/grep.c" - "grep.c" - "refs/debug.c" There are also two non-trivial exceptions: - "diff-no-index.c": Here we know that we may not have a repository initialized at all, so we cannot rely on `the_repository`. Instead, we adapt `diff_no_index()` to get a `struct git_hash_algo` as parameter. The only caller is located in "builtin/diff.c", where we know to call `repo_set_hash_algo()` in case we're running outside of a Git repository. Consequently, it is fine to continue passing `the_repository->hash_algo` even in this case. - "builtin/ls-files.c": There is an in-flight patch series that drops `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` in this file, which causes a semantic conflict because we use `null_oid()` in `show_submodule()`. The value is passed to `repo_submodule_init()`, which may use the object ID to resolve a tree-ish in the superproject from which we want to read the submodule config. As such, the object ID should refer to an object in the superproject, and consequently we need to use its hash algorithm. This means that we could in theory just not bother about this edge case at all and just use `the_repository` in "diff-no-index.c". But doing so would feel misdesigned.

2025-03-10environment: move access to "core.bigFileThreshold" into repo settingsPatrick Steinhardt1-2/+4
The "core.bigFileThreshold" setting is stored in a global variable and populated via `git_default_core_config()`. This may cause issues in the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a single process with different values for that config key, as we may or may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state blocks our path towards libification. Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct repo_settings`, where the value is computed as-needed and cached. Note that this change requires us to adapt one test in t1050 that verifies that we die when parsing an invalid "core.bigFileThreshold" value. The exercised Git command doesn't use the value at all, and thus it won't hit the new code path that parses the value. This is addressed by using git-hash-object(1) instead, which does read the value. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In a subsequent commit, modifications to `diff_filepair` need to occur in certain cases after being queued. Since the existing `diff_addremove()` and `diff_change()` are also used for callbacks in `diff_options` as types `add_remove_fn_t` and `change_fn_t`, modifying the existing function signatures requires further changes. The diff options for pruning use `file_add_remove()` and `file_change()` where file pairs do not even get queued. Thus, separate functions are implemented instead. Split out the queuing operations into `diff_queue_addremove()` and `diff_queue_change()` which also return a handle to the queued `diff_filepair`. Both `diff_addremove()` and `diff_change()` are reimplemented as thin wrappers around the new functions.

2024-10-03diff: return const char from output_prefix callbackJeff King1-6/+3
The diff_options structure has an output_prefix callback for returning a prefix string, but it does so by returning a pointer to a strbuf. This makes the interface awkward. There's no reason the callback should need to use a strbuf, and it creates questions about whether the ownership of the resulting buffer should be transferred to the caller (it should not be, but a recent attempt to clean up this code led to a double-free in some cases). The one advantage we get is that the strbuf contains a ptr/len pair, so we could in theory have a prefix with embedded NULs. But we can observe that none of the existing callbacks would ever produce such a NUL (they are usually just indentation or graph symbols, and even the "--line-prefix" option takes a NUL-terminated string). And anyway, only one caller (the one in log_tree_diff_flush) actually looks at the strbuf length. In every other case we use a helper function which discards the length and just returns the NUL-terminated string. So let's just have the callback return a "const char *" pointer. It's up to the callbacks themselves if they want to use a strbuf under the hood. And now the caller in log_tree_diff_flush() can just use the helper function along with everybody else. That lets us even simplify out the function pointer check, since the helper returns an empty string (technically this does mean we'll sometimes issue an empty fputs() call, but I don't think this code path is hot enough to care about that).

2024-09-30diff: improve lifecycle management of diff queuesPatrick Steinhardt1-10/+12
The lifecycle management of diff queues is somewhat confusing: - For most of the part this can be attributed to `DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR()`, which does not release any memory but rather initializes the queue, only. This is in contrast to our common naming schema, where "clearing" means that we release underlying memory and then re-initialize the data structure such that it is ready to use. - A second offender is `diff_free_queue()`, which does not free the queue structure itself. It is rather a release-style function. Refactor the code to make things less confusing. `DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR()` is replaced by `DIFF_QUEUE_INIT` and `diff_queue_init()`, while `diff_free_queue()` is replaced by `diff_queue_release()`. While on it, adapt callsites where we call `DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR()` with the intent to release underlying memory to instead call `diff_queue_clear()` to fix memory leaks.

2024-09-23diff: report modified binary files as changes in builtin_diff()René Scharfe1-0/+1
The diff machinery has two ways to detect changes to set the exit code: Just comparing hashes and comparing blob contents. The latter is needed if certain changes have to be ignored, e.g. with --ignore-space-change or --ignore-matching-lines. It's enabled by the diff_options flag diff_from_contents. The code for handling binary files added by 1aaf69e669 (diff: shortcut for diff'ing two binary SHA-1 objects, 2014-08-16) always uses a quick hash-only comparison, even if the slow way is taken. We need it to report a hash difference as a change for the purpose of setting the exit code, though, but it never did. Fix that. d7b97b7185 (diff: let external diffs report that changes are uninteresting, 2024-06-09) set diff_from_contents if external diff programs are allowed.

The diff machinery has two ways to detect changes to set the exit code: Just comparing hashes and comparing blob contents.

2024-08-09remerge-diff: clean up temporary objdir at a central placeJunio C Hamano1-1/+9
After running a diff between two things, or a series of diffs while walking the history, the diff computation is concluded by a call to diff_result_code() to extract the exit status of the diff machinery. The function can work on "struct diffopt", but all the callers historically and currently pass "struct diffopt" that is embedded in the "struct rev_info" that is used to hold the remerge_diff bit and the remerge_objdir variable that points at the temporary object directory in use. Redefine diff_result_code() to take the whole "struct rev_info" to give it an access to these members related to remerge-diff, so that it can get rid of the temporary object directory for any and all callers that used the feature. We can lose the equivalent code to do so from the code paths for individual commands, diff-tree, diff, and log. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-06-14global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macroPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+3
Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead, callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters. It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces that implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes, be it explicit or implicit For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as `the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add guards as required (or even better, just remove them). Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the required changes at least a little bit more contained.

2024-06-11revision: free diff optionsPatrick Steinhardt1-2/+6
There is a todo comment in `release_revisions()` that mentions that we need to free the diff options, which was added via 54c8a7c379 (revisions API: add a TODO for diff_free(&revs->diffopt), 2022-04-14). Releasing the diff options wasn't quite feasible at that time because some call sites rely on its contents to remain even after the revisions have been released. In fact, there really only are a couple of callsites that misbehave here: - `cmd_shortlog()` releases the revisions, but continues to access its file pointer. - `do_diff_cache()` creates a shallow copy of `struct diff_options`, but does not set the `no_free` member. Consequently, we end up releasing resources of the caller-provided diff options. - `diff_free()` and friends do not play nice when being called multiple times as they don't unset data structures that they have just released. Fix all of those cases and enable the call to `diff_free()`, which plugs a bunch of memory leaks. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-10diff: let external diffs report that changes are uninterestingRené Scharfe1-1/+35
The options --exit-code and --quiet instruct git diff to indicate whether it found any significant changes by exiting with code 1 if it did and 0 if there were none. Currently this doesn't work if external diff programs are involved, as we have no way to learn what they found. Add that ability in the form of the new configuration options diff.trustExitCode and diff.<driver>.trustExitCode and the environment variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF_TRUST_EXIT_CODE. They pair with the config options diff.external and diff.<driver>.command and the environment variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF, respectively. The new options are off by default, keeping the old behavior. Enabling them indicates that the external diff returns exit code 1 if it finds significant changes and 0 if it doesn't, like diff(1). The name of the new options is taken from the git difftool and mergetool options of similar purpose. (There they enable passing on the exit code of a diff tool and to infer whether a merge done by a merge tool is successful.) The new feature sets the diff flag diff_from_contents in diff_setup_done() if we need the exit code and are allowed to call external diffs. This disables the optimization that avoids calling the program with --quiet. Add it back by skipping the call if the external diff is not able to report empty diffs. We can only do that check after evaluating the file-specific attributes in run_external_diff(). If we do run the external diff with --quiet, send its output to /dev/null. I considered checking the output of the external diff to check whether its empty. It was added as 11be65cfa4 (diff: fix --exit-code with external diff, 2024-05-05) and quickly reverted, as it does not work with external diffs that do not write to stdout. There's no reason why a graphical diff tool would even need to write anything there at all. I also considered using a non-zero exit code for empty diffs, which could be done without adding new configuration options. We'd need to disable the optimization that allows git diff --quiet to skip calling external diffs, though -- that might be quite surprising if graphical diff programs are involved. And assigning the opposite meaning of the exit codes compared to diff(1) and git diff --exit-code to the external diff can cause unnecessary confusion.

2024-06-07diff: cast string constant in `fill_textconv()`Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
The `fill_textconv()` function is responsible for converting an input file with a textconv driver, which is then passed to the caller. Weirdly though, the function also handles the case where there is no textconv driver at all. In that case, it will return either the contents of the populated filespec, or an empty string if the filespec is invalid. These two cases have differing memory ownership semantics. When there is a textconv driver, then the result is an allocated string. Otherwise, the result is either a string constant or owned by the filespec struct. All callers are in fact aware of this weirdness and only end up freeing the output buffer when they had a textconv driver. Ideally, we'd split up this interface to only perform the conversion via the textconv driver, and BUG in case the caller didn't provide one. This would make memory ownership semantics much more straight forward. For now though, let's simply cast the empty string constant to `char *` to avoid a warning with `-Wwrite-strings`. This is equivalent to the same cast that we already have in `fill_mmfile()`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The slower path uses the struct diff_options member found_changes to indicate whether the blobs differ even with the transformations applied. It's not set for unmerged files, though, resulting in exit code 0.

2024-01-29diff: handle NULL meta-info when spawning external diffJeff King1-1/+2
Running this: $ touch foo bar $ chmod +x foo $ git -c diff.external=echo diff --ext-diff --no-index foo bar results in a segfault. The issue is that run_diff_cmd() passes a NULL "xfrm_msg" variable to run_external_diff(), which feeds it to strvec_push(), causing the segfault. The bug dates back to 82fbf269b9 (run_external_diff: use an argv_array for the command line, 2014-04-19), though it mostly only ever worked accidentally. Before then, we just stuck the NULL pointer into a "const char **" array, so our NULL ended up acting as an extra end-of-argv sentinel (which was OK, because it was the last thing in the array). Curiously, though, this is only a problem with --no-index. We set up xfrm_msg by calling fill_metainfo(). This result may be empty, or may have text like "index 1234..5678\n", "rename from foo\nrename from bar\n", etc. In run_external_diff(), we only look at xfrm_msg if the "other" variable is not NULL. That variable is set when the paths of the two sides of the diff pair aren't the same (in which case the destination path becomes "other"). So normally it would kick in only for a rename, in which case xfrm_msg should not be NULL (it would have the rename information in it). But with a "--no-index" of two blobs, we of course have two different pathnames, and thus end up with a non-NULL "other" filename (which is always just a repeat of the file2-name), but possibly a NULL xfrm_msg. So how to fix it? I have a feeling that --no-index always passing "other" to the external diff command is probably a bug. There was no rename, and the name is always redundant with existing information we pass (and this may even cause us to pass a useless "xfrm_msg" that contains an "index 1234..5678" line). So one option would be to change that behavior. We don't seem to have ever documented the "other" or "xfrm_msg" parameters for external diffs. But I'm not sure what fallout we might have from changing that behavior now. So this patch takes the less-risky option, and simply teaches run_external_diff() to avoid passing xfrm_msg when it's NULL. That makes it agnostic to whether "other" and "xfrm_msg" always come as a pair. It fixes the segfault now, and if we want to change the --no-index "other" behavior on top, it will handle that, too.

2023-12-09diff: give more detailed messages for bogus diff.* configJeff King1-2/+6
The config callbacks for a few diff.* variables simply return -1 when we encounter an error. The message you get mentions the offending location, like: fatal: bad config variable 'diff.algorithm' in file '.git/config' at line 7 but is vague about "bad" (as it must be, since the message comes from the generic config code). Most callbacks add their own messages here, so let's do the same. E.g.: error: unknown value for config 'diff.algorithm': foo fatal: bad config variable 'diff.algorithm' in file '.git/config' at line 7 I've written the string in a way that should be reusable for translators, and matches another similar message in transport.c (there doesn't yet seem to be a popular generic message to reuse here, so hopefully this will get the ball rolling). Note that in the case of diff.algorithm, our parse_algorithm_value() helper does detect a NULL value string. But it's still worth detecting it ourselves here, since we can give a more specific error message (and which is the usual one for unexpected implicit-bool values).

2023-12-09config: handle NULL value when parsing non-boolsJeff King1-3/+16
When the config parser sees an "implicit" bool like: [core] someVariable it passes NULL to the config callback. Any callback code which expects a string must check for NULL. This usually happens via helpers like git_config_string(), etc, but some custom code forgets to do so and will segfault. These are all fairly vanilla cases where the solution is just the usual pattern of: if (!value) return config_error_nonbool(var); though note that in a few cases we have to split initializers like: int some_var = initializer(); into: int some_var; if (!value) return config_error_nonbool(var); some_var = initializer(); There are still some broken instances after this patch, which I'll address on their own in individual patches after this one.

2023-09-29diff --stat: set the width defaults in a helper functionDragan Simic1-0/+7
Extract the commonly used initialization of the --stat-width=<width>, --stat-name-width=<width> and --stat-graph-with=<width> parameters to their internal default values into a helper function, to avoid repeating the same initialization code in a few places. Add a couple of tests to additionally cover existing configuration options diff.statNameWidth=<width> and diff.statGraphWidth=<width> when used by git-merge to generate --stat outputs. This closes the gap that existed previously in the --stat tests, and reduces the chances for having any regressions introduced by this commit. While there, perform a small bunch of minor wording tweaks in the improved unit test, to improve its test-level consistency a bit.

Add new configuration option diff.statNameWidth=<width> that is equivalent to the command-line option --stat-name-width=<width>, but it is ignored by format-patch. This follows the logic established by the already existing configuration option diff.statGraphWidth=<width>. Limiting the widths of names and graphs in the --stat output makes sense for interactive work on wide terminals with many columns, hence the support for these configuration options. They don't affect format-patch because it already adheres to the traditional 80-column standard. Update the documentation and add more tests to cover new configuration option diff.statNameWidth=<width>. While there, perform a few minor code and whitespace cleanups here and there, as spotted.

2023-08-21diff: the -w option breaks --exit-code for --raw and other output modesJunio C Hamano1-0/+6
The output from "--raw", "--name-status", and "--name-only" modes in "git diff" does depend on and does not reflect how certain different contents are considered equal, unlike "--patch" and "--stat" output modes do, when used with options like "-w" (another way of thinking about it is that it is not like we recompute the hash of the blob after removing all whitespaces to show "git diff --raw -w" output). But the fact that "--raw" and friends ignore "-w" is not a good excuse for "diff --raw -w --exit-code" to also ignore the request to report the differences with its exit status. When run without "-w", "git diff --exit-code --raw" does report with its exit status the differences as requested, and we should do the same when run with "-w", too.

2023-08-21diff: drop useless "status" parameter from diff_result_code()Jeff King1-4/+2
Many programs use diff_result_code() to get a user-visible program exit code from a diff result (e.g., checking opts.found_changes if --exit-code was requested). This function also takes a "status" parameter, which seems at first glance that it could be used to propagate an error encountered when computing the diff. But it doesn't work that way: - negative values are passed through as-is, but are not appropriate as program exit codes - when --exit-code or --check is in effect, we _ignore_ the passed-in status completely. So a failed diff which did not have a chance to set opts.found_changes would erroneously report "success, no changes" instead of propagating the error. After recent cleanups, neither of these bugs is possible to trigger, as every caller just passes in "0". So rather than fixing them, we can simply drop the useless parameter instead.

2023-08-18diff: teach "--stat -w --exit-code" to notice differencesJunio C Hamano1-0/+1
When options like "-w" is used while "--exit-code" option is in effect, instead of the usual "do we have any filepair whose preimage and postimage have different <mode,object>?" check, we need to compare the contents of the blobs, taking into account that certain changes are considered no-op. With the previous step, we taught "--patch" codepath to set the .found_changes bit correctly, even for a change that only affects the mode and not object. The "--stat" codepath, however, did not set the .found_changes bit at all. This lead to $ git diff --stat -w --exit-code for a change that does have an output to exit with status 0. Set the bit by inspecting the list of paths the diffstat output is given for (a mode-only change will still appear as a "0-line added 0-line deleted" change) to fix it.

2023-08-18diff: mode-only change should be noticed by "--patch -w --exit-code"Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
The codepath to notice the content-level changes, taking certain no-op changes like "ignore whitespace" into account, forgot that a mode-only change is still a change. This resulted in $ git diff --patch --exit-code -w to exit with status 0 even when there is such a mode-only change, breaking both "--patch" and "--quiet" output formats. Teach the builtin_diff() codepath that creation and deletion as well as mode changes are all interesting changes. Note that the test specifically checks removal of an empty file, because if there is anything in the preimage (i.e. the removed file is not empty), the removal would still trigger textual patch output and the codepath for that does update .found_changes bit to report that it found an interesting change. We need to make sure that the .found_changes bit is set even without triggering textual patch output. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2023-08-18diff: move the fallback "--exit-code" code downJunio C Hamano1-15/+15
When "--exit-code" is asked and the code cannot just answer by comparing the object names on both sides but needs to inspect and compare the contents, there are two ways that the result is found out. Some output modes, like "--stat" and "--patch", inherently have to inspect the contents in order to show the differences in the way they do. The codepaths for these modes set the .found_changes bit as they compute what to show. However, other output modes do not need to inspect the contents to show the differences in the way they do. The most notable example is "--quiet", which does not need to compute any output to show. When they are asked to report "--exit-code", they run the codepaths for the "--patch" output with their output redirected to "/dev/null", only to set the .found_changes bit. Currently, this fallback invocation of "--patch" output is done after the "--stat" output format and its friends and before the "--patch" and internal callback logic. Move it to the end of the sequence to clarify the fallback status of this code block. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2023-06-28config: pass kvi to die_bad_number()Glen Choo1-4/+5
Plumb "struct key_value_info" through all code paths that end in die_bad_number(), which lets us remove the helper functions that read analogous values from "struct config_reader". As a result, nothing reads config_reader.config_kvi any more, so remove that too. In config.c, this requires changing the signature of git_configset_get_value() to 'return' "kvi" in an out parameter so that git_configset_get_<type>() can pass it to git_config_<type>(). Only numeric types will use "kvi", so for non-numeric types (e.g. git_configset_get_string()), pass NULL to indicate that the out parameter isn't needed. Outside of config.c, config callbacks now need to pass "ctx->kvi" to any of the git_config_<type>() functions that parse a config string into a number type. Included is a .cocci patch to make that refactor. The only exceptional case is builtin/config.c, where git_config_<type>() is called outside of a config callback (namely, on user-provided input), so config source information has never been available. In this case, die_bad_number() defaults to a generic, but perfectly descriptive message. Let's provide a safe, non-NULL for "kvi" anyway, but make sure not to change the message.

2023-06-28config: add ctx arg to config_fn_tGlen Choo1-4/+6
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold additional information about the config iteration operation. config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg, but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a different config value). In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg in any meaningful way. Most of the changes are performed by contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every config_fn_t: - Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx" - Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed - Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed, but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of "struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense. The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of "ctx" to pass. These cases are: - trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl() This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2 machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb(). - builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main() This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg. This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much more than just parsing. Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the "ctx" arg.

2023-06-21merge-ll: rename from ll-mergeElijah Newren1-1/+1
A long term (but rather minor) pet-peeve of mine was the name ll-merge.[ch]. I thought it made it harder to realize what stuff was related to merging when I was working on the merge machinery and trying to improve it. Further, back in d1cbe1e6d8a ("hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove dependency on repository.h", 2023-04-22), we have split the portions of hash.h that do not depend upon repository.h into a "hash-ll.h" (due to the recommendation to use "ll" for "low-level" in its name[1], but which I used as a suffix precisely because of my distaste for "ll-merge"). When we discussed adding additional "*-ll.h" files, a request was made that we use "ll" consistently as either a prefix or a suffix. Since it is already in use as both a prefix and a suffix, the only way to do so is to rename some files. Besides my distaste for the ll-merge.[ch] name, let me also note that the files ll-fsmonitor.h, ll-hash.h, ll-merge.h, ll-object-store.h, ll-read-cache.h would have essentially nothing to do with each other and make no sense to group. But giving them the common "ll-" prefix would group them. Using "-ll" as a suffix thus seems just much more logical to me. Rename ll-merge.[ch] to merge-ll.[ch] to achieve this consistency, and to ensure we get a more logical grouping of files.

2023-06-03diff: detect pathspec magic not supported by --followJeff King1-0/+15
The --follow code doesn't handle most forms of pathspec magic. We check that no unexpected ones have made it to try_to_follow_renames() with a runtime GUARD_PATHSPEC() check, which gives behavior like this: $ git log --follow ':(icase)makefile' >/dev/null BUG: tree-diff.c:596: unsupported magic 10 Aborted The same is true of ":(glob)", ":(attr)", and so on. It's good that we notice the problem rather than continuing and producing a wrong answer. But there are two non-ideal things: 1. The idea of GUARD_PATHSPEC() is to catch programming errors where low-level code gets unexpected pathspecs. We'd usually try to catch unsupported pathspecs by passing a magic_mask to parse_pathspec(), which would give the user a much better message like: pathspec magic not supported by this command: 'icase' That doesn't happen here because git-log usually _does_ support all types of pathspec magic, and so it passes "0" for the mask (this call actually happens in setup_revisions()). It needs to distinguish the normal case from the "--follow" one but currently doesn't. 2. In addition to --follow, we have the log.follow config option. When that is set, we try to turn on --follow mode only when there is a single pathspec (since --follow doesn't handle anything else). But really, that ought to be expanded to "use --follow when the pathspec supports it". Otherwise, we'd complain any time you use an exotic pathspec: $ git config log.follow true $ git log ':(icase)makefile' >/dev/null BUG: tree-diff.c:596: unsupported magic 10 Aborted We should instead just avoid enabling follow mode if it's not supported by this particular invocation. This patch expands our diff_check_follow_pathspec() function to cover pathspec magic, solving both problems. A few final notes: - we could also solve (1) by passing the appropriate mask to parse_pathspec(). But that's not great for two reasons. One is that the error message is less precise. It says "magic not supported by this command", but really it is not the command, but rather the --follow option which is the problem. The second is that it always calls die(). But for our log.follow code, we want to speculatively ask "is this pathspec OK?" and just get a boolean result. - This is obviously the right thing to do for ':(icase)' and most other magic options. But ':(glob)' is a bit odd here. The --follow code doesn't support wildcards, but we allow them anyway. From try_to_follow_renames(): #if 0 /* * We should reject wildcards as well. Unfortunately we * haven't got a reliable way to detect that 'foo\*bar' in * fact has no wildcards. nowildcard_len is merely a hint for * optimization. Let it slip for now until wildmatch is taught * about dry-run mode and returns wildcard info. */ if (opt->pathspec.has_wildcard) BUG("wildcards are not supported"); #endif So something like "git log --follow 'Make*'" is already doing the wrong thing, since ":(glob)" behavior is already the default (it is used only to countermand an earlier --noglob-pathspecs). So we _could_ loosen the guard to allow :(glob), since it just behaves the same as pathspecs do by default. But it seems like a backwards step to do so. It already doesn't work (it hits the BUG() case currently), and given that the user took an explicit step to say "this pathspec should glob", it is reasonable for us to say "no, --follow does not support globbing" (or in the case of log.follow, avoid turning on follow mode). Which is what happens after this patch. - The set of allowed pathspec magic is obviously the same as in GUARD_PATHSPEC(). We could perhaps factor these out to avoid repetition. The point of having separate masks and GUARD calls is that we don't necessarily know which parsed pathspecs will be used where. But in this case, the two are heavily correlated. Still, there may be some value in keeping them separate; it would make anyone think twice about adding new magic to the list in diff_check_follow_pathspec(). They'd need to touch try_to_follow_renames() as well, which is the code that would actually need to be updated to handle more exotic pathspecs. - The documentation for log.follow says that it enables --follow "...when a single <path> is given". We could possibly expand that to say "with no unsupported pathspec magic", but that raises the question of documenting which magic is supported. I think the existing wording of "single <path>" sufficiently encompasses the idea (the forbidden magic is stuff that might match multiple entries), and the spirit remains the same.

2023-05-05diff: fix interaction between the "-s" option and other optionsJunio C Hamano1-11/+13
Sergey Organov noticed and reported "--patch --no-patch --raw" behaves differently from just "--raw". It turns out that there are a few interesting bugs in the implementation and documentation. * First, the documentation for "--no-patch" was unclear that it could be read to mean "--no-patch" countermands an earlier "--patch" but not other things. The intention of "--no-patch" ever since it was introduced at d09cd15d (diff: allow --no-patch as synonym for -s, 2013-07-16) was to serve as a synonym for "-s", so "--raw --patch --no-patch" should have produced no output, but it can be (mis)read to allow showing only "--raw" output. * Then the interaction between "-s" and other format options were poorly implemented. Modern versions of Git uses one bit each to represent formatting options like "--patch", "--stat" in a single output_format word, but for historical reasons, "-s" also is represented as another bit in the same word. This allows two interesting bugs to happen, and we have both X-<. (1) After setting a format bit, then setting NO_OUTPUT with "-s", the code to process another "--<format>" option drops the NO_OUTPUT bit to allow output to be shown again. However, the code to handle "-s" only set NO_OUTPUT without unsetting format bits set earlier, so the earlier format bit got revealed upon seeing the second "--<format>" option. This is the problem Sergey observed. (2) After setting NO_OUTPUT with "-s", code to process "--<format>" option can forget to unset NO_OUTPUT, leaving the command still silent. It is tempting to change the meaning of "--no-patch" to mean "disable only the patch format output" and reimplement "-s" as "not showing anything", but it would be an end-user visible change in behavior. Let's fix the interactions of these bits to first make "-s" work as intended. The fix is conceptually very simple. * Whenever we set DIFF_FORMAT_FOO because we saw the "--foo" option (e.g. DIFF_FORMAT_RAW is set when the "--raw" option is given), we make sure we drop DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT. We forgot to do so in some of the options and caused (2) above. * When processing "-s" option, we should not just set DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT bit, but clear other DIFF_FORMAT_* bits. We didn't do so and retained format bits set by options previously seen, causing (1) above. It is even more tempting to lose NO_OUTPUT bit and instead take output_format word being 0 as its replacement, but that would break the mechanism "git show" uses to default to "--patch" output, where the distinction between telling the command to be silent with "-s" and having no output format specified on the command line matters, and an explicit output format given on the command line should not be "combined" with the default "--patch" format. So, while we cannot lose the NO_OUTPUT bit, as a follow-up work, we may want to replace it with OPTION_GIVEN bit, and * make "--patch", "--raw", etc. set DIFF_FORMAT_$format bit and DIFF_FORMAT_OPTION_GIVEN bit on for each format. "--no-raw", etc. will set off DIFF_FORMAT_$format bit but still record the fact that we saw an option from the command line by setting DIFF_FORMAT_OPTION_GIVEN bit. * make "-s" (and its synonym "--no-patch") clear all other bits and set only the DIFF_FORMAT_OPTION_GIVEN bit on. which I suspect would make the code much cleaner without breaking any end-user expectations. Once that is in place, transitioning "--no-patch" to mean the counterpart of "--patch", just like "--no-raw" only defeats an earlier "--raw", would be quite simple at the code level. The social cost of migrating the end-user expectations might be too great for it to be worth, but at least the "GIVEN" bit clean-up alone may be worth it.

2023-05-05diff: plug leaks in dirstatJunio C Hamano1-6/+11
The array of dirstat_file contained in the dirstat_dir structure is not freed after the processing ends. Unfortunately, the member that points at the array, .files, is incremented as the gather_dirstat() function recursively walks it, and this needs to be plugged by remembering the beginning of the array before gather_dirstat() mucks with it and freeing it after we are done. We can mark t4047 as leak-free. t4000, which is marked as leak-free, now can exercise dirstat in it, which will happen next. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2023-04-24string-list: multi-delimiter `string_list_split_in_place()`Taylor Blau1-1/+1
Enhance `string_list_split_in_place()` to accept multiple characters as delimiters instead of a single character. Instead of using `strchr(2)` to locate the first occurrence of the given delimiter character, `string_list_split_in_place_multi()` uses `strcspn(2)` to move past the initial segment of characters comprised of any characters in the delimiting set. When only a single delimiting character is provided, `strpbrk(2)` (which is implemented with `strcspn(2)`) has equivalent performance to `strchr(2)`. Modern `strcspn(2)` implementations treat an empty delimiter or the singleton delimiter as a special case and fall back to calling strchrnul(). Both glibc[1] and musl[2] implement `strcspn(2)` this way. This change is one step to removing `strtok(2)` from the tree. Note that `string_list_split_in_place()` is not a strict replacement for `strtok()`, since it will happily turn sequential delimiter characters into empty entries in the resulting string_list. For example: string_list_split_in_place(&xs, "foo:;:bar:;:baz", ":;", -1) would yield a string list of: ["foo", "", "", "bar", "", "", "baz"] Callers that wish to emulate the behavior of strtok(2) more directly should call `string_list_remove_empty_items()` after splitting. To avoid regressions for the new multi-character delimter cases, update t0063 in this patch as well.

It can be useful to specify diff algorithms per file type. For example, one may want to use the minimal diff algorithm for .json files, another for .c files, etc. The diff machinery already checks attributes for a diff driver. Teach the diff driver parser a new type "algorithm" to look for in the config, which will be used if a driver has been specified through the attributes. Enforce precedence of the diff algorithm by favoring the command line option, then looking at the driver attributes & config combination, then finally the diff.algorithm config. To enforce precedence order, use a new `ignore_driver_algorithm` member during options parsing to indicate the diff algorithm was set via command line args.

A subsequent commit will need the ability to tell if the diff algorithm was set through the command line through setting a new member of diff_options. While this logic can be added to the diff_opt_diff_algorithm() callback, the `--minimal` and `--histogram` options are handled via OPT_BIT without a callback. Remedy this by consolidating the options parsing logic for --minimal and --histogram into one callback. This way we can modify `diff_options` in that function. As an additional refactor, the logic that sets the diff algorithm in diff_opt_diff_algorithm() can be refactored into a helper that will allow multiple callsites to set the diff algorithm.

2023-01-06diff: drop "name" parameter from prepare_temp_file()Jeff King1-11/+10
The prepare_temp_file() function takes a diff_filespec as well as a filename. But it is almost certainly an error to pass in a name that isn't the filespec's "path" parameter, since that is the only thing that reliably tells us how to find the content (and indeed, this was the source of a recently-fixed bug). So let's drop the redundant "name" parameter and just use one->path throughout the function. This simplifies the interface a little bit, and makes it impossible for calling code to get it wrong.

2023-01-06diff: clean up external-diff argv setupJeff King1-6/+3
Since the previous commit, setting up the tempfile for an external diff uses df->path from the diff_filespec, rather than the logical name. This means add_external_diff_name() does not need to take a "name" parameter at all, and we can drop it.

2023-01-06diff: use filespec path to set up tempfiles for ext-diffJeff King1-1/+1
When we're going to run an external diff, we have to make the contents of the pre- and post-images available either by dumping them to a tempfile, or by pointing at a valid file in the worktree. The logic of this is all handled by prepare_temp_file(), and we just pass in the filename and the diff_filespec. But there's a gotcha here. The "filename" we have is a logical filename and not necessarily a path on disk or in the repository. This matters in at least one case: when using "--relative", we may have a name like "foo", even though the file content is found at "subdir/foo". As a result, we look for the wrong path, fail to find "foo", and claim that the file has been deleted (passing "/dev/null" to the external diff, rather than the correct worktree path). We can fix this by passing the pathname from the diff_filespec, which should always be a full repository path (and that's what we want even if reusing a worktree file, since we're always operating from the top-level of the working tree). The breakage seems to go all the way back to cd676a5136 (diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory, 2008-02-12). As far as I can tell, before then "name" would always have been the same as the filespec's "path". There are two related cases I looked at that aren't buggy: 1. the only other caller of prepare_temp_file() is run_textconv(). But it always passes the filespec's path field, so it's OK. 2. I wondered if file renames/copies might cause similar confusion. But they don't, because run_external_diff() receives two names in that case: "name" and "other", which correspond to the two sides of the diff. And we did correctly pass "other" when handling the post-image side. Barring the use of "--relative", that would always match "two->path", the path of the second filespec (and the rename destination). So the only bug is just the interaction with external diff drivers and --relative.

We could free it in release_revisions() as well to plug that leak, but there is a better way: Only build it when needed.

2022-11-02diff.c: use diff_free_queue()SZEDER Gábor1-8/+2
Use diff_free_queue() instead of open-coding it. This shortens the code and make it less repetitive. Note that the second hunk in diff_flush() is interesting, because the 'free_queue' label separates the loop freeing the queue's filepairs from free()-ing the queue's internal array. This is somewhat suspicious, but it was not an issue before: there is only one place from where we jump to this label with a goto, and that is protected by an 'if (!q->nr && ...)' condition, i.e. we only skipped the loop freeing the filepairs when there were no filepairs in the queue to begin with.

2022-11-02line-log: free diff queue when processing non-merge commitsSZEDER Gábor1-0/+7
When processing a non-merge commit, the line-level log first asks the tree-diff machinery whether any of the files in the given line ranges were modified between the current commit and its parent, and if some of them were, then it loads the contents of those files from both commits to see whether their line ranges were modified and/or need to be adjusted. Alas, it doesn't free() the diff queue holding the results of that query and the contents of those files once its done. This can add up to a substantial amount of leaked memory, especially when the file in question is big and is frequently modified: a user reported "Out of memory, malloc failed" errors with a 2MB text file that was modified ~2800 times [1] (I estimate the leak would use up almost 11GB memory in that case). Free that diff queue to plug this memory leak. However, instead of simply open-coding the necessary three lines, add them as a helper function to the diff API, because it will be useful elsewhere as well.

2022-10-24patch-id: fix patch-id for mode changesJerry Zhang1-0/+5
Currently patch-id as used in rebase and cherry-pick does not account for file modes if the file is modified. One consequence of this is that if you have a local patch that changes modes, but upstream has applied an outdated version of the patch that doesn't include that mode change, "git rebase" will drop your local version of the patch along with your mode changes. It also means that internal patch-id doesn't produce the same output as the builtin, which does account for mode changes due to them being part of diff output. Fix by adding mode to the patch-id if it has changed, in the same format that would be produced by diff, so that it is compatible with builtin patch-id.

2022-10-24patch-id: fix stable patch id for binary / header-onlyJerry Zhang1-29/+29
Patch-ids for binary patches are found by hashing the object ids of the before and after objects in succession. However in the --stable case, there is a bug where hunks are not flushed for binary and header-only patch ids, which would always result in a patch-id of 0000. The --unstable case is currently correct. Reorder the logic to branch into 3 cases for populating the patch body: header-only which populates nothing, binary which populates the object ids, and normal which populates the text diff. All branches will end up flushing the hunk. Don't populate the ---a/ and +++b/ lines for binary diffs, to correspond to those lines not being present in the "git diff" text output. This is necessary because we advertise that the patch-id calculated internally and used in format-patch is the same that what the builtin "git patch-id" would produce when piped from a diff. Update the test to run on both binary and normal files. Signed-off-by: Jerry Zhang <jerry@skydio.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-10-17diffstat_consume(): assert non-zero lengthJeff King1-0/+3
The callback interface for xdiff_emit_line_fn gives us a line/len pair, but diffstat_consume() never looks at "len". At first glance this seems like a bug that could cause us to read further than xdiff intends. But in practice, we read only the first character, and xdiff would never pass us an empty line. Let's add a run-time assertion that this is true, which clarifies our assumption and silences -Wunused-parameter.

2022-09-14diff.c: use utf8_strwidth() to count display widthTorsten Bögershausen1-11/+16
When unicode filenames (encoded in UTF-8) are used, the visible width on the screen is not the same as strlen(). For example, `git log --stat` may produce an output like this: [snip the header] Arger.txt | 1 + Ärger.txt | 1 + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+) A side note: the original report was about cyrillic filenames. After some investigations it turned out that a) This is not a problem with "ambiguous characters" in unicode b) The same problem exists for all unicode code points (so we can use Latin based Umlauts for demonstrations below) The 'Ä' takes the same space on the screen as the 'A'. But needs one more byte in memory, so the the `git log --stat` output for "Arger.txt" (!) gets mis-aligned: The maximum length is derived from "Ärger.txt", 10 bytes in memory, 9 positions on the screen. That is why "Arger.txt" gets one extra ' ' for aligment, it needs 9 bytes in memory. If there was a file "Ö", it would be correctly aligned by chance, but "Öhö" would not. The solution is of course, to use utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() when dealing with the width on screen. And then there is another problem, code like this: strbuf_addf(&out, "%-*s", len, name); (or using the underlying snprintf() function) does not align the buffer to a minimum of len measured in screen-width, but uses the memory count. One could be tempted to wish that snprintf() was UTF-8 aware. That doesn't seem to be the case anywhere (tested on Linux and Mac), probably snprintf() uses the "bytes in memory"/strlen() approach to be compatible with older versions and this will never change. The basic idea is to change code in diff.c like this strbuf_addf(&out, "%-*s", len, name); into something like this: int padding = len - utf8_strwidth(name); if (padding < 0) padding = 0; strbuf_addf(&out, " %s%*s", name, padding, ""); The real change is slighty bigger, as it, as well, integrates two calls of strbuf_addf() into one. Tests: Two things need to be tested: - The calculation of the maximum width - The calculation of padding The name "textfile" is changed into "tëxtfilë", both have a width of 8. If strlen() was used, to get the maximum width, the shorter "binfile" would have been mis-aligned: binfile | [snip] tëxtfilë | [snip] If only "binfile" would be renamed into "binfilë": binfilë | [snip] textfile | [snip] In order to verify that the width is calculated correctly everywhere, "binfile" is renamed into "binfilë", giving 1 bytes more in strlen() "tëxtfile" is renamed into "tëxtfilë", 2 byte more in strlen(). The updated t4012-diff-binary.sh checks the correct aligment: binfilë | [snip] tëxtfilë | [snip] Reported-by: Alexander Meshcheryakov <alexander.s.m@gmail.com> Helped-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-09-02diff: fix filtering of merge commits under --remerge-diffElijah Newren1-0/+1
Commit 95433eeed9 ("diff: add ability to insert additional headers for paths", 2022-02-02) introduced the possibility of additional headers. Because there could be conflicts with no content differences (e.g. a modify/delete conflict resolved in favor of taking the modified file as-is), that commit also modified the diff_queue_is_empty() and diff_flush_patch() logic to ensure these headers were included even if there was no associated content diff. However, the added logic was a bit inconsistent between these two functions. diff_queue_is_empty() overlooked the fact that the additional headers strmap could be non-NULL and empty, which would cause it to display commits that should have been filtered out. Fix the diff_queue_is_empty() logic to also account for additional_path_headers being empty.

2022-09-02diff: have submodule_format logic avoid additional diff headersElijah Newren1-6/+23
Commit 95433eeed9 ("diff: add ability to insert additional headers for paths", 2022-02-02) introduced the possibility of additional headers, created in create_filepairs_for_header_only_notifications(). These are represented by inserting additional pairs in diff_queued_diff which always have a mode of 0 and a null_oid. When these were added, one code path was noted to assume that at least one of the diff_filespecs in the pair were valid, and that codepath was corrected. The submodule_format handling is another codepath with the same issue; it would operate on these additional headers and attempt to display them as submodule changes. Prevent that by explicitly checking for "phoney" filepairs (i.e. filepairs with both modes being 0).

2022-09-01git-compat-util.h: use "UNUSED", not "UNUSED(var)"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+2
As reported in [1] the "UNUSED(var)" macro introduced in 2174b8c75de (Merge branch 'jk/unused-annotation' into next, 2022-08-24) breaks coccinelle's parsing of our sources in files where it occurs. Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters. This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is actually use" part of 9b240347543 (git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro, 2022-08-19), a subsequent commit will further tweak the macro to implement a replacement for that functionality. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/220825.86ilmg4mil.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/220819.868rnk54ju.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
