| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without this patch, git-grep gives confusing usage information: $ git grep --confused usage: git grep <option>* <rev>* [-e] <pattern> [<path>...] $ git grep HEAD pattern fatal: ambiguous argument 'pattern': unknown revision or path no t in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions So put <pattern> before the <rev>s, in accordance with actual correct usage.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string. But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form is no longer supported. This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version. For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh generates a dash-less usage string now.

* add NO_EXTERNAL_GREP build optionJeff King2008-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we just chose whether to allow external grep based on the __unix__ define. However, there are systems which define this macro but which have an inferior group (e.g., one that does not support all options used by t7002). This allows users to accept the potential speed penalty to get a more consistent grep experience (and to pass the testsuite).

* Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core oneLinus Torvalds2008-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be simpler. In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields. This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do not exist in the on-disk format. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* grep -An -Bm: fix invocation of external grep commandJunio C Hamano2007-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | When building command line to invoke external grep, the arguments to -A/-B/-C options were placd in randarg[] buffer, but the code forgot that snprintf() does not count terminating NUL in its return value.

* Split grep arguments in a way that does not requires to add /dev/null.Junio C Hamano2007-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to (almost) always show the name of the file without relying on "-H" option of GNU grep, we used to add /dev/null to the argument list unless we are doing -l or -L. This caused "/dev/null:0" to show up when -c is given in the output. It is not enough to add -c to the set of options we do not pass /dev/null for. When we have too many files, we invoke grep multiple times and we need to avoid giving a widow filename to the last invocation -- otherwise we will not see the name. This keeps two filenames when the argv[] buffer is about to overflow and we have not finished iterating over the index, so that the last round will always have at least two paths to work with (and not require /dev/null). An obvious and the only exception is when there is only 1 file that is given to the underlying grep, and in that case we avoid passing /dev/null and let the external "grep -c" report only the number of matches.

* Initialize tree descriptors with a helper function rather than by hand.Linus Torvalds2007-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes slightly more lines than it adds, but the real reason for doing this is that future optimizations will require more setup of the tree descriptor, and so we want to do it in one place.

* git-grep: don't use sscanfJim Meyering2007-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you use scanf or sscanf to parse integers, your code probably accepts bogus inputs. For example, builtin-grep (aka git-grep) uses sscanf(scan, "%u", &num) to parse the integer argument to -A, -B, -C. Currently, "-C 1,000" and "-C 4294967297" are both treated just like "-C 1": $ git-grep -h -C 4294967297 juggle out and you may find it easier to switch back and forth if you juggle multiple lines of development simultaneously. Of course, you will pay the price of more disk usage to hold The obvious fix is to use strtoul instead. But using a bare strtoul is too messy, at least when done properly, so I've added a wrapper function. The new function in the patch below belongs elsewhere if it would be useful in replacing any of the four remaining uses of sscanf. One final note: With this change, I get a slightly different diagnostic depending on the context size: $ ./git-grep -h -C 4294967296 juggle fatal: 4294967296: invalid context length argument [Exit 128] $ ./git-grep -h -C 4294967295 juggle grep: 4294967295: invalid context length argument [Exit 1] A common convention that makes it easy to identify the source of a diagnostic is to include the program name before the first ":". Whether that should be "git" or "git-grep" is another question. Using "grep" or "fatal" is misleading. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_tShawn O. Pearce2007-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4. This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* convert object type handling from a string to a numberNicolas Pitre2007-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch of strcmp() all over the place. This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the system.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files.

* Add "-h/-H" parsing to "git grep"Linus Torvalds2006-09-14

* | Add "named object array" conceptLinus Torvalds2006-06-19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

* Shrink "struct object" a bitLinus Torvalds2006-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.
