Merge branch 'jk/external-diff-use-argv-array'

2014-06-03T19:06:43+00:00

Code clean-up (and a bugfix which has been merged for 2.0).

* jk/external-diff-use-argv-array:
  run_external_diff: refactor cmdline setup logic
  run_external_diff: hoist common bits out of conditional
  run_external_diff: drop fflush(NULL)
  run_external_diff: clean up error handling
  run_external_diff: use an argv_array for the environment

Merge branch 'ks/tree-diff-nway'

2014-06-03T19:06:40+00:00

Instead of running N pair-wise diff-trees when inspecting a
N-parent merge, find the set of paths that were touched by walking
N+1 trees in parallel.  These set of paths can then be turned into
N pair-wise diff-tree results to be processed through rename
detections and such.  And N=2 case nicely degenerates to the usual
2-way diff-tree, which is very nice.

* ks/tree-diff-nway:
  mingw: activate alloca
  combine-diff: speed it up, by using multiparent diff tree-walker directly
  tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well
  Portable alloca for Git
  tree-diff: reuse base str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion
  tree-diff: no need to call "full" diff_tree_sha1 from show_path()
  tree-diff: rework diff_tree interface to be sha1 based
  tree-diff: diff_tree() should now be static
  tree-diff: remove special-case diff-emitting code for empty-tree cases
  tree-diff: simplify tree_entry_pathcmp
  tree-diff: show_path prototype is not needed anymore
  tree-diff: rename compare_tree_entry -> tree_entry_pathcmp
  tree-diff: move all action-taking code out of compare_tree_entry()
  tree-diff: don't assume compare_tree_entry() returns -1,0,1
  tree-diff: consolidate code for emitting diffs and recursion in one place
  tree-diff: show_tree() is not needed
  tree-diff: no need to pass match to skip_uninteresting()
  tree-diff: no need to manually verify that there is no mode change for a path
  combine-diff: move changed-paths scanning logic into its own function
  combine-diff: move show_log_first logic/action out of paths scanning

Merge branch 'jk/external-diff-use-argv-array' (early part)

2014-04-28T22:47:35+00:00

Crash fix for codepath that miscounted the necessary size for an
array when spawning an external diff program.

* 'jk/external-diff-use-argv-array' (early part):
  run_external_diff: use an argv_array for the command line

run_external_diff: refactor cmdline setup logic

2014-04-21T17:32:19+00:00

The current logic makes it hard to see what gets put onto
the command line in which cases. Pulling out a helper
function lets us see that we have two sets of file data, and
the second set either uses the original name, or the "other"
renamed/copy name.

run_external_diff: hoist common bits out of conditional

2014-04-21T17:32:07+00:00

Whether we have diff_filespecs to give to the diff command
or not, we always are going to run the program and pass it
the pathname. Let's pull that duplicated part out of the
conditional to make it more obvious.

run_external_diff: drop fflush(NULL)

2014-04-21T17:31:51+00:00

This fflush was added in d5535ec (Use run_command() to spawn
external diff programs instead of fork/exec., 2007-10-19),
because flushing buffers before forking is a good habit.

But later, 7d0b18a (Add output flushing before fork(),
2008-08-04) added it to the generic run-command interface,
meaning that our flush here is redundant.

run_external_diff: clean up error handling

2014-04-21T17:31:36+00:00

When the external diff reports an error, we try to clean up
and die. However, we can make this process a bit simpler:

  1. We do not need to bother freeing memory, since we are
     about to exit.  Nor do we need to clean up our
     tempfiles, since the atexit() handler will do it for
     us. So we can die as soon as we see the error.

  3. We can just call die() rather than fprintf/exit. This
     does technically change our exit code, but the exit
     code of "1" is not meaningful here. In fact, it is
     probably wrong, since "1" from diff usually means
     "completed successfully, but there were differences".

And while we're there, we can mark the error message for
translation, and drop the full stop at the end to make it
more like our other messages.

run_external_diff: use an argv_array for the environment

2014-04-21T17:30:33+00:00

We currently use static buffers and a static array for
formatting the environment passed to the external diff.
There's nothing wrong in the code, but it is much easier to
verify that it is correct if we use a dynamic argv_array.

run_external_diff: use an argv_array for the command line

2014-04-21T17:29:50+00:00

We currently generate the command-line for the external
command using a fixed-length array of size 10. But if there
is a rename, we actually need 11 elements (10 items, plus a
NULL), and end up writing a random NULL onto the stack.

Rather than bump the limit, let's just use an argv_array, which
makes this sort of error impossible.

i18n: remove obsolete comments for translators in diffstat generation

Since we do not translate diffstat any more, remove the obsolete comments.
