Jeff King ffb20ce125 strbuf: add strbuf_tolower function
This is a convenience wrapper to call tolower on each
character of the string.

This makes config's lowercase() function obsolete, though
note that because we have a strbuf, we are careful to
operate over the whole strbuf, rather than assuming that a
NUL is the end-of-string.

We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but
there would be no callers (in most pure-string cases, we
actually duplicate and lowercase the duplicate, for which we
have the xstrdup_tolower wrapper).

Christian Couder 956623157f strbuf: introduce starts_with() and ends_with()
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() share the common "cmp" suffix that
typically are used to name functions that can be used for ordering,
but they can't, because they are not antisymmetric:

        prefixcmp("foo", "foobar") < 0
        prefixcmp("foobar", "foo") == 0

We in fact do not use these functions for ordering.  Replace them
with functions that just check for equality.

Add starts_with() and end_with() that will be used to replace
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp(), respectively, as the first step.  These
are named after corresponding functions/methods in programming
languages, like Java, Python and Ruby.

In vcs-svn/fast_export.c, there was already an ends_with() function
that did the same thing. Let's use the new one instead while at it.

Antoine Pelisse 079b546a29 strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizes
Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text
formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere.

Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the
function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other
callers.

We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and
download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will
now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of
"0 KiB/s".

Junio C Hamano eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are

Michael Haggerty 17b73dc699 strbuf_split*(): rename "delim" parameter to "terminator"
The word "delimiter" suggests that the argument separates the
substrings, whereas in fact (1) the delimiter characters are included
in the output, and (2) if the input string ends with the delimiter,
then the output does not include a final empty string.  So rename the
"delim" arguments of the strbuf_split() family of functions to
"terminator", which is more suggestive of how it is used.

2012-10-25 06:43:03 -04:00
Jeff King 08ad56f3f0 strbuf: always return a non-NULL value from strbuf_detach
The current behavior is to return NULL when strbuf did not
actually allocate a string. This can be quite surprising to
callers, though, who may feed the strbuf from arbitrary data
and expect to always get a valid value.

In most cases, it does not make a difference because calling
any strbuf function will cause an allocation (even if the
function ends up not inserting any data). But if the code is
structured like:

  struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
  if (some_condition)
	  strbuf_addstr(&buf, some_string);
  return strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL);

then you may or may not return NULL, depending on the
condition. This can cause us to segfault in http-push
(when fed an empty URL) and in http-backend (when an empty
parameter like "foo=bar&&" is in the $QUERY_STRING).

This patch forces strbuf_detach to allocate an empty
NUL-terminated string when it is called on a strbuf that has
not been allocated.

I investigated all call-sites of strbuf_detach. The majority
are either not affected by the change (because they call a
strbuf_* function unconditionally), or can handle the empty
string just as easily as NULL.

Junio C Hamano 895680f044 fmt-merge-msg: Add contents of merged tag in the merge message
When a contributor asks the integrator to merge her history, a signed tag
can be a good vehicle to communicate the authenticity of the request while
conveying other information such as the purpose of the topic.

E.g. a signed tag "for-linus" can be created, and the integrator can run:

   $ git pull git://example.com/work.git/ for-linus

This would allow the integrator to run "git verify-tag FETCH_HEAD" to
validate the signed tag.

Update fmt-merge-msg so that it pre-fills the merge message template with
the body (but not signature) of the tag object to help the integrator write
a better merge message, in the same spirit as the existing merge.log summary
lines.

The message that comes from GPG signature validation is also included in
the merge message template to help the integrator verify it, but they are
prefixed with "#" to make them comments.

Brandon Casey 1844f8d591 strbuf.c: remove unnecessary strbuf_grow() from strbuf_getwholeline()
This use of strbuf_grow() is a historical artifact that was once used to
ensure that strbuf.buf was allocated and properly nul-terminated.  This
was added before the introduction of the slopbuf in b315c5c0, which
guarantees that strbuf.buf always points to a usable nul-terminated string.
So let's remove it.

  strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new buffer
2011-09-02 13:18:29 -07:00
Thomas Rast 8c74ef1e97 strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new buffer
In the case where sb is initialized to the slopbuf (through
strbuf_init(sb,0) or STRBUF_INIT), strbuf_grow() loses the terminating
nul: it grows the buffer, but gives ALLOC_GROW a NULL source to avoid
it being freed.  So ALLOC_GROW does not copy anything to the new
memory area.

This subtly broke the call to strbuf_getline in read_next_command()
[fast-import.c:1855], which goes

    strbuf_detach(&command_buf, NULL);  # command_buf is now = STRBUF_INIT
    stdin_eof = strbuf_getline(&command_buf, stdin, '\n');
    if (stdin_eof)
            return EOF;

In strbuf_getwholeline, this did

    strbuf_grow(sb, 0);  # loses nul-termination
    if (feof(fp))
            return EOF;
    strbuf_reset(sb);    # this would have nul-terminated!

Valgrind found this because fast-import subsequently uses prefixcmp()
on command_buf.buf, which after the EOF exit contains only
uninitialized memory.

Arguably strbuf_getwholeline is also broken, in that it touches the
buffer before deciding whether to do any work.  However, it seems more
futureproof to not let the strbuf API lose the nul-termination by its
own fault.

So make sure that strbuf_grow() puts in a nul even if it has nowhere
to copy it from.  This makes strbuf_grow(sb, 0) a semantic no-op as
far as readers of the buffer are concerned.

Also remove the nul-termination added by strbuf_init, which is made
redudant.

Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()

Junio C Hamano 6348624010 disallow branch names that start with a hyphen
The current command line parser is overly lax in places and allows a
branch whose name begins with a hyphen e.g. "-foo" to be created, but the
parseopt infrastructure in general does not like to parse anything that
begins with a dash as a short-hand refname.  "git checkout -foo" won't
work, nor will "git branch -d -foo" (even though "git branch -d -- -foo"
works, it does so by mistake; we should not be taking anything but
pathspecs after double-dash).

All the codepaths that create a new branch ref, including the destination
of "branch -m src dst", use strbuf_check_branch_ref() to validate if the
given name is suitable as a branch name.  Tighten it to disallow a branch
that begins with a hyphen.

You can still get rid of historical mistakes with

  $ git update-ref -d refs/heads/-foo

and third-party Porcelains are free to keep using update-ref to create
refs with a path component that begins with "-".

Jeff King 0a0416a34a strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user
format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly
unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single
"%", as that is what printf format specifiers do.

This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand():

 (1) git-daemon interpolated paths

 (2) pretty-print user formats

 (3) merge driver command lines

Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of
strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch.
Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing
behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

Brandon Casey c7e4f0d78a strbuf: add new function strbuf_getwholeline()
This function is just like strbuf_getline() except it retains the
line-termination character.  This function will be used by the mailinfo
and mailsplit builtins which require the entire line for parsing.

Junio C Hamano a2fab531bb strbuf_check_branch_ref(): a helper to check a refname for a branch
This allows a common calling sequence

	strbuf_branchname(&ref, name);
	strbuf_splice(&ref, 0, 0, "refs/heads/", 11);
	if (check_ref_format(ref.buf))
		die(...);

to be refactored into

	if (strbuf_check_branch_ref(&ref, name))
		die(...);

Junio C Hamano a552de75eb strbuf_branchname(): a wrapper for branch name shorthands
The function takes a user-supplied string that is supposed to be a branch
name, and puts it in a strbuf after expanding possible shorthand notation.

A handful of open coded sequence to do this in the existing code have been
changed to use this helper function.

Alex Riesen 8f0246551c Microoptimize strbuf_cmp
It can be less object code and may be even faster, even if at the
moment there is no callers to take an advantage of that. This
implementation can be trivially made inlinable later.

René Scharfe 2fc647004a strbuf: instate cleanup rule in case of non-memory errors
Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if
they have allocated it.  They don't shrink buffers that have been grown,
though.

This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call
strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had
to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves.

Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink.

Linus Torvalds b11b7e13f4 Add generic 'strbuf_readlink()' helper function
It was already what 'git apply' did in read_old_data(), just export it
as a real function, and make it be more generic.

In particular, this handles the case of the lstat() st_size data not
matching the readlink() return value properly (which apparently happens
at least on NTFS under Linux).  But as a result of this you could also
use the new function without even knowing how big the link is going to
be, and it will allocate an appropriately sized buffer.

So we pass in the st_size of the link as just a hint, rather than a
fixed requirement.
