In some cases this is just to improve the quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In others it is a requirement for using certain functions in libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called git_extract_argv0_path()). Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c version of main(). However, there are still a few external commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are not always consistent. Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can run this standard startup. We basically have two options to do this: - the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a wrapper that calls mingw_startup(). The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the preprocessor. The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is quietly inserting new code. - the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(), and git.c's main() calls them. This is much more explicit, which may make things more obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_ cmd_foo() to call). The downside is that each of the builtins must define cmd_foo(), instead of just main(). This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is linked against. We link common-main.o against anything that links against libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main() function automatically (it has no callers). The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main(). I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which means that all of the programs also need to match its signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to "const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well. This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature (which also matches the way builtins are defined).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When this code was originally written, there wasn't much thought given to the timing between a client asking for "exit", the daemon signaling that the action is done (with EOF), and the actual cleanup of the socket. However, we need to care about this so that our test scripts do not end up racy (e.g., by asking for an exit and checking that the socket was cleaned up). The code that is already there happens to behave very reasonably; let's add a comment to make it clear that any changes should retain the same behavior.

|\ \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "credential-cache" daemon process used to run in whatever directory it happened to start in, but this made umount(2)ing the filesystem that houses the repository harder; now the process chdir()s to the directory that house its own socket on startup. * jg/credential-cache-chdir-to-sockdir: credential-cache--daemon: change to the socket dir on startup credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket path credential-cache--daemon: refactor check_socket_directory

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing to the socket path stops the daemon holding open the directory the user was in when it was started, preventing umount from working. We're already holding open a socket in that directory, so there's no downside.

| * | credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket pathJon Griffiths2016-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Relative socket paths are dangerous since the user cannot generally control when the daemon starts (initially, after a timeout, kill or crash). Since the daemon creates but does not delete the socket directory, this could lead to spurious directory creation relative to the users cwd.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function does an early return, and therefore has to repeat its cleanup. We can stick the later bit of the function into an "else" and avoid duplicating the shared part (which will get bigger in a future patch). Let's also rename the function to init_socket_directory. It not only checks the directory but also creates it. Saying "init" is more accurate.

* | strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()Junio C Hamano2016-01-15
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* credential-cache: new option to ignore sighupNoam Postavsky2015-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | Introduce new option "credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP" which stops git-credential-cache--daemon from quitting on SIGHUP. This is useful when "git push" is started from Emacs, because all child processes (including the daemon) will receive a SIGHUP when "git push" exits.

* credential-cache: close stderr in daemon processJeff King2014-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the stderr of "git credential-cache" is redirected to a pipe, the reader on the other end of a pipe may be surprised that the pipe remains open long after the process exits. This happens because we may auto-spawn a daemon which is long-lived, and which keeps stderr open. We can solve this by redirecting the daemon's stderr to /dev/null once we are ready to go into our event loop. We would not want to do so before then, because we may want to report errors about the setup (e.g., failure to establish the listening socket). This does mean that we will not report errors we encounter for specific clients. That's acceptable, as such errors should be rare (e.g., clients sending buggy requests). However, we also provide an escape hatch: if you want to see these later messages, you can provide the "--debug" option to keep stderr open.

* refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanJeff King2014-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* credentials: add "cache" helperJeff King2011-12-11
If you access repositories over smart-http using http authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in memory, of course, but git is composed of many small programs. Having to input your password for each one can be frustrating. This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache passwords in memory for a short period of time. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
