The Win32 CONDITION_VARIABLE has better performance and is easier to maintain, as the code is a lot shorter now (the semantics of the CONDITION_VARIABLE matches the pthread_cond_t very well). Note: CONDITION_VARIABLE is not available in Windows XP and below, but the declared minimal Windows version required to build and run Git for Windows is Windows Vista (which is also beyond its end-of-life, but for less long than Windows XP), so that's okay.

2018-11-05poll: use GetTickCount64() to avoid wrap-around issuesSteve Hoelzer
The value of timeout starts as an int value, and for this reason it cannot overflow unsigned long long aka ULONGLONG. The unsigned version of this initial value is available in orig_timeout. The difference (orig_timeout - elapsed) cannot wrap around because it is protected by a conditional (as can be seen in the patch text). Hence, the ULONGLONG difference can only have values that are smaller than the initial timeout value and truncation to int cannot overflow.

2018-10-31mingw: fix isatty() after dup2()Johannes Schindelin
Since a9b8a09c3c30 (mingw: replace isatty() hack, 2016-12-22), we handle isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptors, caching the return value. However, we missed the case where dup2() overrides the respective file descriptor. That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently, `cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and consequently stdout should be left alone. Let's override dup2() to handle this appropriately.

2018-10-31mingw: unset PERL5LIB by defaultJohannes Schindelin
Git for Windows ships with its own Perl interpreter, and insists on using it, so it will most likely wreak havoc if PERL5LIB is set before launching Git. Let's just unset that environment variables when spawning processes. To make this feature extensible (and overrideable), there is a new config setting `core.unsetenvvars` that allows specifying a comma-separated list of names to unset before spawning processes.

2018-10-31config: allow for platform-specific core.* config settingsJohannes Schindelin
In the Git for Windows project, we have ample precendent for config settings that apply to Windows, and to Windows only. Let's formalize this concept by introducing a platform_core_config() function that can be #define'd in a platform-specific manner. This will allow us to contain platform-specific code better, as the corresponding variables no longer need to be exported so that they can be defined in environment.c and be set in config.c Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-10-31mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16 <-> UTF-8)Johannes Schindelin
On Windows, the authoritative environment is encoded in UTF-16. In Git for Windows, we convert that to UTF-8 (because UTF-16 is *such* a foreign idea to Git that its source code is unprepared for it). Previously, out of performance concerns, we converted the entire environment to UTF-8 in one fell swoop at the beginning, and upon putenv() and run_command() converted it back. Having a private copy of the environment comes with its own perils: when a library used by Git's source code tries to modify the environment, it does not really work (in Git for Windows' case, libcurl, see https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/bcad1e6d58^...bcad1e6d58^2 for a glimpse of the issues). Hence, it makes our environment handling substantially more robust if we switch to on-the-fly-conversion in `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls. Based on an initial version in the MSVC context by Jeff Hostetler, this patch makes it so. Surprisingly, this has a *positive* effect on speed: at the time when the current code was written, we tested the performance, and there were *so many* `getenv()` calls that it seemed better to convert everything in one go. In the meantime, though, Git has obviously been cleaned up a bit with regards to `getenv()` calls so that the Git processes spawned by the test suite use an average of only 40 `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls over the process lifetime. Speaking of the entire test suite: the total time spent in the re-encoding in the current code takes about 32.4 seconds (out of 113 minutes runtime), whereas the code introduced in this patch takes only about 8.2 seconds in total. Not much, but it proves that we need not be concerned about the performance impact introduced by this patch.

2018-10-24mingw: fix getcwd when the parent directory cannot be queriedAnton Serbulov
`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name for that component. It happens, because it uses `FindFirstFile()` function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()` requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling process. In case of lacking such permission for some part of path, the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()` returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the target path only. The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on `Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically. `CreateFile()` parameters: `lpFileName` = path to the current directory `dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`) `dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE (it prevents `Sharing Violation`) `lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes) `dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING (required to obtain a directory handle) `dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS (required to obtain a directory handle) `hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory, `CreateFile` ignores this parameter) The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used. Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path. It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved. For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to "D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

2018-10-24mingw: ensure `getcwd()` reports the correct caseJohannes Schindelin
When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that `getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is recorded on disk. Typically this creates no problems except when you call git log . in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the past (but actually never did). So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current directory before working with it.

2018-10-24mingw: load system libraries the recommended wayJohannes Schindelin
When we access IPv6-related functions, we load the corresponding system library using the `LoadLibrary()` function, which is not the recommended way to load system libraries. In practice, it does not make a difference: the `ws2_32.dll` library containing the IPv6 functions is already loaded into memory, so LoadLibrary() simply reuses the already-loaded library. Still, recommended way is recommended way, so let's use that instead. While at it, also adjust the code in contrib/ that loads system libraries.

Define and use our own POSIX-2013-compatible 'struct stat' with nanosecond- precision file times. Note: This can cause performance issues when using Git variants with different file time resolutions, as the timestamps are stored in the Git index: after updating the index with a Git variant that uses second-precision file times, a nanosecond-aware Git will think that pretty much every single file listed in the index is out of date.

Note: it would be tempting to try to unify this code with the part of do_lstat() that does the same thing, but they operate on different data structures: BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION vs WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA.

2018-08-14mingw: enable atomic O_APPENDJohannes Sixt
The Windows CRT implements O_APPEND "manually": on write() calls, the file pointer is set to EOF before the data is written. Clearly, this is not atomic. And in fact, this is the root cause of failures observed in t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh and t5503-tagfollow.sh, where different processes write to the same trace file simultanously; it also occurred in t5400-send-pack.sh, but there it was worked around in 71406ed4d6 ("t5400: avoid concurrent writes into a trace file", 2017-05-18). Fortunately, Windows does support atomic O_APPEND semantics using the file access mode FILE_APPEND_DATA. Provide an implementation that does. This implementation is minimal in such a way that it only implements the open modes that are actually used in the Git code base. Emulation for other modes can be added as necessary later. To become aware of the necessity early, the unusal error ENOSYS is reported if an unsupported mode is encountered.

2018-03-19mingw: abort on invalid strftime formatsJohannes Schindelin
On Windows, strftime() does not silently ignore invalid formats, but warns about them and then returns 0 and sets errno to EINVAL. Unfortunately, Git does not expect such a behavior, as it disagrees with strftime()'s semantics on Linux. As a consequence, Git misinterprets the return value 0 as "I need more space" and grows the buffer. As the larger buffer does not fix the format, the buffer grows and grows and grows until we are out of memory and abort. Ideally, we would switch off the parameter validation just for strftime(), but we cannot even override the invalid parameter handler via _set_thread_local_invalid_parameter_handler() using MINGW because that function is not declared. Even _set_invalid_parameter_handler(), which *is* declared, does not help, as it simply does... nothing. So let's just bite the bullet and override strftime() for MINGW and abort on an invalid format string. While this does not provide the best user experience, it is the best we can do.

2017-11-02mingw: optionally redirect stderr/stdout via the same handleJohannes Schindelin
The "2>&1" notation in Powershell and in Unix shells implies that stderr is redirected to the same handle into which stdout is already written.

2017-11-02mingw: add experimental feature to redirect standard handlesJohannes Schindelin
Particularly when calling Git from applications, such as Visual Studio's Team Explorer, it is important that stdin/stdout/stderr are closed properly. However, when spawning processes on Windows, those handles must be marked as inheritable if we want to use them, but that flag is a global flag and may very well be used by other spawned processes which then do not know to close those handles. Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and friends) that specify paths to files, or even better, named pipes (which are similar to Unix sockets) and that are used by the spawned Git process. This helps work around above-mentioned issue: those named pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon startup, and no handles are passed around (and therefore no inherited handles need to be closed by any spawned child). This feature shipped with Git for Windows (marked as experimental) since v2.11.0(2), so it has seen some serious testing in the meantime.

2017-10-10cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary searchDerrick Stolee
A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible integer overflow by using the simple average: mid = (min + max) / 2; Instead, use the overflow-safe version: mid = min + (max - min) / 2; This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop conditioned on "min < max".
