* Windows: fix utime() for read-only filesJohannes Sixt2010-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with 5256b00 (Use git_mkstemp_mode instead of plain mkstemp to create object files, 2010-02-22) utime() is invoked on read-only files. This is not allowed on Windows and results in many warnings of the form failed utime() on .git/objects/23/tmp_obj_VlgHlc: Permission denied during a repack. Fix it by making the file temporarily writable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Do not use date.c:tm_to_time_t() from compat/mingw.cJohannes Sixt2010-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | To implement gettimeofday(), a broken-down UTC time was requested from the system using GetSystemTime(), then tm_to_time_t() was used to convert it to a time_t because it does not look at the current timezone, which mktime() would do. Use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() and a different conversion path to avoid this back-reference from the compatibility layer to the generic code.

* MSVC: Windows-native implementation for subset of Pthreads APIAndrzej K. Haczewski2010-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements native to Windows subset of pthreads API used by Git. It allows to remove Pthreads for Win32 dependency for MSVC, msysgit and Cygwin. [J6t: If the MinGW build was built as part of the msysgit build environment, then threading was already enabled because the pthreads-win32 package is available in msysgit. With this patch, we can now enable threaded code unconditionally.] Signed-off-by: Andrzej K.

* Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child processJohannes Sixt2010-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

* Windows: simplify the pipe(2) implementationJohannes Sixt2010-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our implementation of pipe() must create non-inheritable handles for the reason that when a child process is started, there is no opportunity to close the unneeded pipe ends in the child (on POSIX this is done between fork() and exec()). Previously, we used the _pipe() function provided by Microsoft's C runtime (which creates inheritable handles) and then turned the handles into non-inheritable handles using the DuplicateHandle() API. Simplify the procedure by using the CreatePipe() API, which can create non-inheritable handles right from the beginning.

* Windows: boost startup by avoiding a static dependency on shell32.dllJohannes Sixt2010-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This DLL is only needed to invoke the browser in a "git help" call. By looking up the only function that we need at runtime, we can avoid the startup costs of this DLL. DLL usage can be profiled with Microsoft's Dependency Walker. For example, a call to "git diff-files" loaded before: 19 DLLs after: 9 DLLs As a result, the runtime of 'make -j2 test' went down from 16:00min to 12:40min on one of my boxes.

* Make usage of windows.h lean and meanMarius Storm-Olsen2009-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Centralize the include of windows.h in git-compat-util.h, turn on WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid including plenty of other header files which is not needed in Git. Also ensure we load winsock2.h first, so we don't load the older winsock definitions at a later stage, since they contain duplicate definitions. When moving windows.h into git-compat-util.h, we need to protect the definition of struct pollfd in mingw.h, since this file is used by both MinGW and MSVC, and the latter defines this struct in winsock2.h. We need to keep the windows.h include in compat/win32.h, since its shared by both MinGW and Cygwin, and we're not touching Cygwin in this commit. The include in git-compat-util.h is protected with an ifdef WIN32, which is not the case when compiling for Cygwin.

* MinGW readdir reimplementation to support d_typeMarius Storm-Olsen2009-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original readdir implementation was fast, but didn't support the d_type. This means that git would do additional lstats for each entry, to figure out if the entry was a directory or not. This unneedingly slowed down many operations, since Windows API provides this information directly when walking the directories.

* Windows: Work around intermittent failures in mingw_renameJohannes Sixt2009-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have replaced rename() with a version that can rename a file to a destination that already exists. Nevertheless, many users, the author included, observe failures in the code that are not reproducible. The theory is that the failures are due to some other process that happens to have opened the destination file briefly at the wrong moment. (And there is no way on Windows to delete or replace a file that is currently open.) The most likely candidate for such a process is a virus scanner. The failure is more often observed while there is heavy git activity (for example while the test suite is running or during a rebase operation). We work around the failure by retrying the rename operation if it failed due to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. The retries are delayed a bit: The first only by giving up the time slice, the next after the minimal scheduling granularity, and if more retries are needed, then we wait some non-trivial amount of time with exponential back-off.

* MinGW: Quote arguments for subprocesses that contain a single-quoteJohannes Sixt2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present. This is necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand arguments that look like glob patterns. "Normal" Windows command line utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg(). But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word. With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain single-quotes. This lets t4252 pass on Windows.

* | Windows: Make OpenSSH properly detect tty detachment.Alexander Gavrilov2008-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently, CREATE_NO_WINDOW makes the OS tell the process that it has a console, but without actually creating the window. As a result, when git is started from GUI, ssh tries to ask its questions on the invisible console. This patch uses DETACHED_PROCESS instead, which clearly means that the process should be left without a console. The downside is that if the process manually calls AllocConsole, the window will appear. A similar thing might occur if it calls another console executable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which requires a Unix shell. Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good because it avoids potential path translation issues. In this case it is not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it. The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid platform-specific code in the main code base. On Windows, open_html is provided as a define. If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is used. This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using per-function ifdefs.

* Windows: Implement a custom spawnve().Johannes Sixt2008-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem with Windows's own implementation is that it tries to be clever when a console program is invoked from a GUI application: In this case it sometimes automatically allocates a new console window. As a consequence, the IO channels of the spawned program are directed to the console, but the invoking application listens on channels that are now directed to nowhere. In this implementation we use the lowlevel facilities of CreateProcess(), which offers a flag to tell the system not to open a console. As a side effect, only stdin, stdout, and stderr channels will be accessible from C programs that are spawned. Other channels (file handles, pipe handles, etc.) are still inherited by the spawned program, but it doesn't get enough information to access them. Johannes Schindelin integrated path quoting and unified the various *execv* and *spawnv* helpers. Eric Raible suggested to also quote '{'. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
* Windows: Implement wrappers for gethostbyname(), socket(), and connect().Johannes Sixt2008-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | gethostbyname() is the first function that calls into the Winsock library, and it is wrapped only to initialize the library. socket() is wrapped for two reasons: - Windows's socket() creates things that are like low-level file handles, and they must be converted into file descriptors first. - And these handles cannot be used with plain ReadFile()/WriteFile() because they are opened for "overlapped IO". We have to use WSASocket() to create non-overlapped IO sockets. connect() must be wrapped because Windows's connect() expects the low-level sockets, not file descriptors, and we must first unwrap the file descriptor before we can pass it on to Windows's connect().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This emulation of poll() is by far not general. It assumes that the fds that are to be waited for are connected to pipes. The pipes are polled in a loop until data becomes available in at least one of them. If only a single fd is waited for, the implementation actually does not wait at all, but assumes that a subsequent read() will block. In order not to needlessly burn CPU time, the CPU is yielded to other processes before the next round in the poll loop using Sleep(0). Note that any sleep timeout greater than zero will reduce the efficiency by a magnitude. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
* Windows: Implement start_command().Johannes Sixt2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Windows, we have spawnv() variants to run a child process instead of fork()/exec(). In order to attach pipe ends to stdin, stdout, and stderr, we have to use this idiom: save1 = dup(1); dup2(pipe[1], 1); spawnv(); dup2(save1, 1); close(pipe[1]); assuming that the descriptors created by pipe() are not inheritable.

* Windows: A pipe() replacement whose ends are not inherited to children.Johannes Sixt2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Unix the idiom to use a pipe is as follows: pipe(fd); pid = fork(); if (!pid) { dup2(fd[1], 1); close(fd[1]); close(fd[0]); ... } close(fd[1]); i.e. the child process closes the both pipe ends after duplicating one to the file descriptors where they are needed. On Windows, which does not have fork(), we never have an opportunity to (1) duplicate a pipe end in the child, (2) close unused pipe ends. Instead, we must use this idiom: save1 = dup(1); pipe(fd); dup2(fd[1], 1); spawn(...); dup2(save1, 1); close(fd[1]); i.e. save away the descriptor at the destination slot, replace by the pipe end, spawn process, restore the saved file. But there is a problem: Notice that the child did not only inherit the dup2()ed descriptor, but also *both* original pipe ends. Although the one end that was dup()ed could be closed before the spawn(), we cannot close the other end - the child inherits it, no matter what. The solution is to generate non-inheritable pipes. At the first glance, this looks strange: The purpose of pipes is usually to be inherited to child processes. But notice that in the course of actions as outlined above, the pipe descriptor that we want to inherit to the child is dup2()ed, and as it so happens, Windows's dup2() creates inheritable duplicates.

* Windows: Wrap execve so that shell scripts can be invoked.Johannes Sixt2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | When an external git command is invoked, it can be a Bourne shell script. This patch looks into the command file to see whether it is one. In this case, the command line is rearranged to invoke the shell with the proper arguments. With this change, scripted git commands work. Command line arguments to those scripts cannot be complex (contain spaces or double-quotes), yet. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
* Windows: Implement setitimer() and sigaction().Johannes Sixt2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | The timer is implemented using a thread that calls the signal handler at regular intervals. We also replace Windows's signal() function because we must intercept that SIGALRM is set (which is used when a timer is canceled). Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>

* Windows: Work around misbehaved rename().Johannes Sixt2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Windows's rename() is based on the MoveFile() API, which fails if the destination exists. Here we work around the problem by using MoveFileEx(). Furthermore, the posixly correct error is returned if the destination is a directory. The implementation is still slightly incomplete, however, because of the missing error code translation: We assume that the failure is due to permissions.

* Windows: A minimal implemention of getpwuid().Johannes Sixt2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | getpwuid() is implemented just enough that GIT does not issue errors. Since the information that it returns is not very useful, users are required to set up user.name and user.email configuration. All uses of getpwuid() are like getpwuid(getuid()), hence, the return value of getuid() is irrelevant and the uid parameter is not even looked at. Side note: getpwnam() is only used to resolve '~' and '~username' paths, which is an idiom not known on Windows, hence, we don't implement it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
* Windows: Implement a wrapper of the open() function.Johannes Sixt2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | The wrapper does two things: - Requests to open /dev/null are redirected to open the nul pseudo file. - A request to open a file that currently exists as a directory on Windows fails with EACCES; this is changed to EISDIR. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
