We added an FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES Makefile knob long ago in cba22528f (Add compat/fopen.c which returns NULL on attempt to open directory, 2008-02-08) to handle systems where reading from a directory returned garbage. This works by catching the problem at the fopen() stage and returning NULL. More recently, we found that there is a class of systems (including Linux) where fopen() succeeds but fread() fails. Since the solution is the same (having fopen return NULL), they use the same Makefile knob as of e2d90fd1c (config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Linux and FreeBSD, 2017-05-03). This works fine except for one thing: the autoconf test in configure.ac to set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES actually checks whether fread succeeds. Which means that on Linux systems, the knob isn't set (and we even override the config.mak.uname default). t1308 catches the failure. We can fix this by tweaking the autoconf test to cover both cases. In theory we might care about the distinction between the traditional "fread reads directories" case and the new "fopen opens directories". But since our solution catches the problem at the fopen stage either way, we don't actually need to know the difference. The "fopen" case is a superset. This does mean the FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES name is slightly misleading. Probably FOPEN_OPENS_DIRECTORIES would be more accurate. But it would be disruptive to simply change the name (people's existing build configs would fail), and it's not worth the complexity of handling both. Let's just add a comment in the knob description. Reported-by: Øyvind A. Holm <sunny@sunbase.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The internals of the refs API around the cached refs has been streamlined. * mh/separate-ref-cache: do_for_each_entry_in_dir(): delete function files_pack_refs(): use reference iteration commit_packed_refs(): use reference iteration cache_ref_iterator_begin(): make function smarter get_loose_ref_cache(): new function get_loose_ref_dir(): function renamed from get_loose_refs() do_for_each_entry_in_dir(): eliminate `offset` argument refs: handle "refs/bisect/" in `loose_fill_ref_dir()` ref-cache: use a callback function to fill the cache refs: record the ref_store in ref_cache, not ref_dir ref-cache: introduce a new type, ref_cache refs: split `ref_cache` code into separate files ref-cache: rename `remove_entry()` to `remove_entry_from_dir()` ref-cache: rename `find_ref()` to `find_ref_entry()` ref-cache: rename `add_ref()` to `add_ref_entry()` refs_verify_refname_available(): use function in more places refs_verify_refname_available(): implement once for all backends refs_ref_iterator_begin(): new function refs_read_raw_ref(): new function get_ref_dir(): don't call read_loose_refs() for "refs/bisect"
"git checkout" that handles a lot of paths has been optimized by reducing the number of unnecessary checks of paths in the has_dir_name() function. * jh/add-index-entry-optim: read-cache: speed up has_dir_name (part 2) read-cache: speed up has_dir_name (part 1) read-cache: speed up add_index_entry during checkout p0006-read-tree-checkout: perf test to time read-tree read-cache: add strcmp_offset function
Hotfix for a topic that is already in 'master'. * jh/memihash-opt: p0004: make perf test executable t3008: skip lazy-init test on a single-core box test-online-cpus: helper to return cpu count name-hash: fix buffer overrun
The "submodule" specific field in the ref_store structure is replaced with a more generic "gitdir" that can later be used also when dealing with ref_store that represents the set of refs visible from the other worktrees. * nd/files-backend-git-dir: (28 commits) refs.h: add a note about sorting order of for_each_ref_* t1406: new tests for submodule ref store t1405: some basic tests on main ref store t/helper: add test-ref-store to test ref-store functions refs: delete pack_refs() in favor of refs_pack_refs() files-backend: avoid ref api targeting main ref store refs: new transaction related ref-store api refs: add new ref-store api refs: rename get_ref_store() to get_submodule_ref_store() and make it public files-backend: replace submodule_allowed check in files_downcast() refs: move submodule code out of files-backend.c path.c: move some code out of strbuf_git_path_submodule() refs.c: make get_main_ref_store() public and use it refs.c: kill register_ref_store(), add register_submodule_ref_store() refs.c: flatten get_ref_store() a bit refs: rename lookup_ref_store() to lookup_submodule_ref_store() refs.c: introduce get_main_ref_store() files-backend: remove the use of git_path() files-backend: add and use files_ref_path() files-backend: add and use files_reflog_path() ...
Update the build dependency so that an update to /usr/bin/perl etc. result in recomputation of perl.mak file. * ab/regen-perl-mak-with-different-perl: perl: regenerate perl.mak if perl -V changes
The `ref_cache` code is currently too tightly coupled to `files-backend`, making the code harder to understand and making it awkward for new code to use `ref_cache` (as we indeed have planned). Start loosening that coupling by splitting `ref_cache` into a separate module. This commit moves code, adds declarations, and changes the visibility of some functions, but doesn't change any code. The modules are still too tightly coupled, but the situation will be improved in subsequent commits.
