2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanJeff King
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>
2014-06-13reuse cached commit buffer when parsing signaturesJeff King
When we call show_signature or show_mergetag, we read the commit object fresh via read_sha1_file and reparse its headers. However, in most cases we already have the object data available, attached to the "struct commit". This is partially laziness in dealing with the memory allocation issues, but partially defensive programming, in that we would always want to verify a clean version of the buffer (not one that might have been munged by other users of the commit). However, we do not currently ever munge the commit buffer, and not using the already-available buffer carries a fairly big performance penalty when we are looking at a large number of commits. Here are timings on linux.git: [baseline, no signatures] $ time git log >/dev/null real 0m4.902s user 0m4.784s sys 0m0.120s [before] $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null real 0m14.735s user 0m9.964s sys 0m0.944s [after] $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null real 0m9.981s user 0m5.260s sys 0m0.936s Note that our user CPU time drops almost in half, close to the non-signature case, but we do still spend more wall-clock and system time, presumably from dealing with gpg. An alternative to this is to note that most commits do not have signatures (less than 1% in this repo), yet we pay the re-parsing cost for every commit just to find out if it has a mergetag or signature. If we checked that when parsing the commit initially, we could avoid re-examining most commits later on. Even if we did pursue that direction, however, this would still speed up the cases where we _do_ have signatures. So it's probably worth doing either way.

2014-06-13commit: record buffer length in cacheJeff King
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the cached version attached to the commit, rather than re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no indication of the original length. For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to avoid malicious trickery. This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with some further refactoring we could).

2014-06-13commit: convert commit->buffer to a slabJeff King
This will make it easier to manage the buffer cache independently of the "struct commit" objects. It also shrinks "struct commit" by one pointer, which may be helpful. Unfortunately it does not reduce the max memory size of something like "rev-list", because rev-list uses get_cached_commit_buffer() to decide not to show each commit's output (and due to the design of slab_at, accessing the slab requires us to extend it, allocating exactly the same number of buffer pointers we dropped from the commit structs).

2014-06-13use get_commit_buffer to avoid duplicate codeJeff King
For both of these sites, we already do the "fallback to read_sha1_file" trick. But we can shorten the code by just using get_commit_buffer. Note that the error cases are slightly different when read_sha1_file fails. get_commit_buffer will die() if the object cannot be loaded, or is a non-commit. For get_sha1_oneline, this will almost certainly never happen, as we will have just called parse_object (and if it does, it's probably worth complaining about). For record_author_date, the new behavior is probably better; we notify the user of the error instead of silently ignoring it. And because it's used only for sorting by author-date, somebody examining a corrupt repo can fallback to the regular traversal order.

2014-06-13provide helpers to access the commit bufferJeff King
Many sites look at commit->buffer to get more detailed information than what is in the parsed commit struct. However, we sometimes drop commit->buffer to save memory, in which case the caller would need to read the object afresh. Some callers do this (leading to duplicated code), and others do not (which opens the possibility of a segfault if somebody else frees the buffer). Let's provide a pair of helpers, "get" and "unuse", that let callers easily get the buffer. They will use the cached buffer when possible, and otherwise load from disk using read_sha1_file. Note that we also need to add a "get_cached" variant which returns NULL when we do not have a cached buffer. At first glance this seems to defeat the purpose of "get", which is to always provide a return value. However, some log code paths actually use the NULL-ness of commit->buffer as a boolean flag to decide whether to try printing the commit. At least for now, we want to continue supporting that use.

2014-06-13provide a helper to free commit bufferJeff King
This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer, which will make it easier to change later. Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it. But if we are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller can free it as usual). In this case, we don't want to free the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer associated with the commit. Note that we are making the assumption here that the attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all (e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that we get back the same buffer that we gave to the commit_buffer code.

2014-06-12commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_nodeJeff King
Whenever we create a commit object via lookup_commit, we give it a unique index to be used with the commit-slab API. The theory is that any "struct commit" we create would follow this code path, so any such struct would get an index. However, callers could use alloc_commit_node() directly (and get multiple commits with index 0). Let's push the indexing into alloc_commit_node so that it's hard for callers to get it wrong.

2014-06-12commit_tree: take a pointer/len pair rather than a const strbufJeff King
While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about memory ownership). This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

2013-12-28Remove the line length limit for graft filesJohannes Schindelin
Support for grafts predates Git's strbuf, and hence it is understandable that there was a hard-coded line length limit of 1023 characters (which was chosen a bit awkwardly, given that it is *exactly* one byte short of aligning with the 41 bytes occupied by a commit name and the following space or new-line character). While regular commit histories hardly win comprehensibility in general if they merge more than twenty-two branches in one go, it is not Git's business to limit grafts in such a way. In this particular developer's case, the use case that requires substantially longer graft lines to be supported is the visualization of the commits' order implied by their changes: commits are considered to have an implicit relationship iff exchanging them in an interactive rebase would result in merge conflicts. Thusly implied branches tend to be very shallow in general, and the resulting thicket of implied branches is usually very wide; It is actually quite common that *most* of the commits in a topic branch have not even one implied parent, so that a final merge commit has about as many implied parents as there are commits in said branch.

2013-08-01log: use true parents for diff even when rewritingThomas Rast
When using pathspec filtering in combination with diff-based log output, parent simplification happens before the diff is computed. The diff is therefore against the *simplified* parents. This works okay, arguably by accident, in the normal case: simplification reduces to one parent as long as the commit is TREESAME to it. So the simplified parent of any given commit must have the same tree contents on the filtered paths as its true (unfiltered) parent. However, --full-diff breaks this guarantee, and indeed gives pretty spectacular results when comparing the output of git log --graph --stat ... git log --graph --full-diff --stat ... (--graph internally kicks in parent simplification, much like --parents). To fix it, store a copy of the parent list before simplification (in a slab) whenever --full-diff is in effect. Then use the stored parents instead of the simplified ones in the commit display code paths. The latter do not actually check for --full-diff to avoid duplicated code; they just grab the original parents if save_parents() has not been called for this revision walk. For ordinary commits it should be obvious that this is the right thing to do. Merge commits are a bit subtle. Observe that with default simplification, merge simplification is an all-or-nothing decision: either the merge is TREESAME to one parent and disappears, or it is different from all parents and the parent list remains intact. Redundant parents are not pruned, so the existing code also shows them as a merge. So if we do show a merge commit, the parent list just consists of the rewrite result on each parent. Running, e.g., --cc on this in --full-diff mode is not very useful: if any commits were skipped, some hunks will disagree with all sides of the merge (with one side, because commits were skipped; with the others, because they didn't have those changes in the first place). This triggers --cc showing these hunks spuriously. Therefore I believe that even for merge commits it is better to show the diffs wrt. the original parents.

2013-06-12toposort: rename "lifo" fieldJunio C Hamano
The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are. When traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E": A----B----C \ D----E we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done. In some applications, however, we would further want to control how these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains are shown. Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output). The "lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used to control this behaviour. We start the traversal by knowing two commits, C and E. While keeping in mind that we also need to inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and record that B needs to be inspected. By structuring the "work to be done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next, before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to inspect, e.g. E. When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together. When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics. After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B. The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the behaviour _means_. Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and update the existing code. The mechanical replacement rule is: "lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE" "lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER" Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Introduce a header file to define a macro that can define the struct type, initializer, accessor and cleanup functions to manage a commit slab. Update the "indegree" topological sort facility using it. To associate 32 flag bits with each commit, you can write: define_commit_slab(flag32, uint32); to declare "struct flag32" type, define an instance of it with struct flag32 flags; and initialize it by calling init_flag32(&flags); After that, a call to flag32_at() function uint32 *fp = flag32_at(&flags, commit); will return a pointer pointing at a uint32 for that commit. Once you are done with these flags, clean them up with clear_flag32(&flags); Callers that cannot hard-code how wide the data to be associated with the commit be at compile time can use the "_with_stride" variant to initialize the slab. Suppose you want to give one bit per existing ref, and paint commits down to find which refs are descendants of each commit. Saying typedef uint32 bits320[5]; define_commit_slab(flagbits, bits320); at compile time will still limit your code with hard-coded limit, because you may find that you have more than 320 refs at runtime. The code can declare a commit slab "struct flagbits" like this instead: define_commit_slab(flagbits, unsigned char); struct flagbits flags; and initialize it by: nrefs = ... count number of refs ... init_flagbits_with_stride(&flags, (nrefs + 7) / 8); so that unsigned char *fp = flagbits_at(&flags, commit); will return a pointer pointing at an array of 40 "unsigned char"s associated with the commit, once you figure out nrefs is 320 at runtime.

2013-04-14commit-slab: avoid large reallocJunio C Hamano
Instead of using a single "slab" and keep reallocating it as we find that we need to deal with commits with larger values of commit->index, make a "slab" an array of many "slab_piece"s. Each access may need two levels of indirections, but we only need to reallocate the first level array of pointers when we have to grow the table this way.

2013-04-14commit: allow associating auxiliary info on-demandJeff King
The "indegree" field in the commit object is only used while sorting a list of commits in topological order, and wasting memory otherwise. We would prefer to shrink the size of individual commit objects, which we may have to hold thousands of in-core. We could eject "indegree" field out from the commit object and represent it as a dynamic table based on the decoration infrastructure, but the decoration is meant for sparse annotation and is not a good match. Instead, let's try a different approach. - Assign an integer (commit->index) to each commit we keep in-core (reuse the space of "indegree" field for it); - When running the topological sort, allocate an array of integers in bulk (called "slab"), use the commit->index as an index into this array, and store the "indegree" information there. This does _not_ reduce the memory footprint of a commit object, but the commit->index can be used as the index to dynamically associate commits with other kinds of information as needed.
