* argv-array: add detach functionJeff King2016-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The usual pattern for an argv array is to initialize it, push in some strings, and then clear it when done. Very occasionally, though, we must do other exotic things with the memory, like freeing the list but keeping the strings. Let's provide a detach function so that callers can make use of our API to build up the array, and then take ownership of it.

* argv-array: implement argv_array_pushv()Paul Tan2015-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | When we have a null-terminated array, it would be useful to convert it or append it to an argv_array for further manipulation. Implement argv_array_pushv() which will push a null-terminated array of strings on to an argv_array. Signed-off-by: Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* argv-array: drop "detach" codeJeff King2014-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | The argv_array_detach function (and associated free() function) was really only useful for transferring ownership of the memory to a "struct child_process". Now that we have an internal argv_array in that struct, there are no callers left. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * Add argv_array_detach and argv_array_free_detachedFlorian Achleitner2012-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow detaching of ownership of the argv_array's contents and add a function to free those detached argv_arrays later. This makes it possible to use argv_array efficiently with the exiting struct child_process which only contains a member char **argv. Add to documentation.

* | argv-array: fix bogus cast when freeing arrayJeff King2012-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the array struct stores a "const char **" argv member (for compatibility with most of our argv-taking functions), we have to cast away the const-ness when freeing its elements. However, we used the wrong type when doing so. It doesn't make a difference since free() take a void pointer anyway, but it can be slightly confusing to a reader.

* | argv-array: add pop functionJeff King2012-09-02
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by manually manipulating the array's internal members. Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove elements from the end. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* argv-array: add a new "pushl" methodJeff King2012-04-18
| | | | | | | | | It can be convenient to push many strings in a single line (e.g., if you are initializing an array with defaults). This patch provides a convenience wrapper to allow this. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* argv-array: refactor empty_argv initializationJeff King2012-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An empty argv-array is initialized to point to a static empty NULL-terminated array. The original implementation separates the actual storage of the NULL-terminator from the pointer to the list. This makes the exposed type a "const char **", which nicely matches the type stored by the argv-array. However, this indirection means that one cannot use empty_argv to initialize a static variable, since it is not a constant. Instead, we can expose empty_argv directly, as an array of pointers. The only place we use it is in the ARGV_ARRAY_INIT initializer, and it decays to a pointer appropriately there.

* refactor argv_array into generic codeJeff King2011-09-14
The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a dynamic argv array. Many other parts of the code can reuse this, too, so let's make it generically available. There are two enhancements not found in the original code: 1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly, even when no strings have been pushed (before, you could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem for the submodule code, which always pushed at least one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for generic code. 2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function. This is a convenience function which was not needed by the submodule code, but will make it easier to port other users to the new code.
