58e0362edd Merge branch 'jc/strbuf-add-lines-avoid-sp-ht-sequence'
The commented output used to blindly add a SP before the payload
line, resulting in "# \t<indented text>\n" when the payload began
with a HT.  Instead, produce "#\t<indented text>\n".

d55aeb7687 strbuf_add_commented_lines(): avoid SP-HT sequence in commented lines
The strbuf_add_commented_lines() function passes a pair of prefixes,
one to be used for a non-empty line, and the other for an empty
line, to underlying add_lines().  The former is set to a comment
char followed by a SP, while the latter is set to just the comment
char.  This is designed to give a SP after the comment character,
e.g. "# <user text>\n", on a line with some text, and to avoid
emitting an unsightly "# \n" for an empty line.

Teach this machinery to also use the latter space-less prefix when
the payload line begins with a tab, to show e.g. "#\t<user text>\n";
otherwise we will end up showing "# \t<user text>\n" which is
similarly unsightly.

f22a76e911 strbuf: add strbuf_getcwd()
Add strbuf_getcwd(), which puts the current working directory into a
strbuf.  Because it doesn't use a fixed-size buffer it supports
arbitrarily long paths, provided the platform's getcwd() does as well.
At least on Linux and FreeBSD it handles paths longer than PATH_MAX
just fine.

f52a35fd63 implement ends_with via strip_suffix
The ends_with function is essentially a simplified version
of strip_suffix, in which we throw away the stripped length.
Implementing it as an inline on top of strip_suffix has two
advantages:

  1. We save a bit of duplicated code.

  2. The suffix is typically a string literal, and we call
     strlen on it. By making the function inline, many
     compilers can replace the strlen call with a constant.

30a0ddb705 strbuf: add xstrfmt helper
You can use a strbuf to build up a string from parts, and
then detach it. In the general case, you might use multiple
strbuf_add* functions to do the building. However, in many
cases, a single strbuf_addf is sufficient, and we end up
with:

  struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
  ...
  strbuf_addf(&buf, fmt, some, args);
  str = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL);

We can make this much more readable (and avoid introducing
an extra variable, which can clutter the code) by
introducing a convenience function:

  str = xstrfmt(fmt, some, args);

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).

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.

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".

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.

updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

even if we haven't filled it with anything yet.

ebeb60900f strbuf: add strbuf_vaddf
In a variable-args function, the code for writing into a strbuf is
non-trivial. We ended up cutting and pasting it in several places
because there was no vprintf-style function for strbufs (which in turn
was held up by a lack of va_copy).

Now that we have a fallback va_copy, we can add strbuf_vaddf, the
strbuf equivalent of vsprintf. And we can clean up the cut and paste
mess.

1368f65002 compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflow
The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit

	unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)

might be easier to read.

Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

6bab74e7fb strbuf: move strbuf_branchname to sha1_name.c
strbuf_branchname is a thin wrapper around interpret_branch_name
from sha1_name.o.  Most strbuf.o users do not need it.

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 "-".

Issue originally raised by Clemens Buchacher.
