From a5481a6c9438cbd9c246cfa59ff49c31a0926fb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:55:02 -0400 Subject: convert "enum date_mode" into a struct In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the date_mode enum into a struct. Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}" constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the enum labels as constants, like: show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL); Ideally we could say: show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL }); but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an actual address. Our options are basically: 1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }" definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch statement). 2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822", "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness is defined in one place. 3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant. But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not matter. This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep the size of the callers sane.
