* Merge branch 'ab/strbuf-addftime-tzname-boolify'Junio C Hamano2017-07-061-1/+1
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strbuf_addftime() is further getting tweaked. * ab/strbuf-addftime-tzname-boolify: strbuf: change an always NULL/"" strbuf_addftime() param to bool strbuf.h comment: discuss strbuf_addftime() arguments in order

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strbuf_addftime() allows callers to pass a time zone name for expanding %Z. The only current caller either passes the empty string or NULL, in which case %Z is handed over verbatim to strftime(3). Replace that string parameter with a flag controlling whether to remove %Z from the format specification. This simplifies the code.

This means that the resulting struct "knows" that it's in GMT, even though the time it represents is adjusted for a different zone. The fields where it stores this data are not portably accessible, so we have no way to override them to tell them the real zone info. For the most part, this works. Our date-formatting routines don't pay attention to these inaccessible fields, and use the same tz info we provided for adjustment. The one exception is when we call strftime(), whose %Z format reveals this hidden timezone data. We solved that by always showing the empty string for %Z. This is allowed by POSIX, but not very helpful to the user. We can't make this work in the general case, as there's no portable function for setting an arbitrary timezone (and anyway, we don't have the zone name for the author zones, only their offsets). But for the special case of the "-local" formats, we can just skip the adjustment and use localtime() instead of gmtime(). This makes --date=format-local:%Z work correctly, showing the local timezone instead of an empty string. The new test checks the result for "UTC", our default test-lib value for $TZ. Using something like EST5 might be more interesting, but the actual zone string is system-dependent (for instance, on my system it expands to just EST). Hopefully "UTC" is vanilla enough that every system treats it the same. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
| * strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itselfRené Scharfe2017-06-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no portable way to pass timezone information to strftime. Add parameters for timezone offset and name to strbuf_addftime and let it handle the timezone-related format specifiers %z and %Z internally. Callers can opt out for %Z by passing NULL as timezone name. %z is always handled internally -- this helps on Windows, where strftime would expand it to a timezone name (same as %Z), in violation of POSIX. Modifiers are not handled, e.g. %Ez is still passed to strftime. Use an empty string as timezone name in show_date (the only current caller) for now because we only have the timezone offset in non-local mode. POSIX allows %Z to resolve to an empty string in case of missing information.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are about to switch to a new data type for time stamps that is definitely not smaller or equal, but larger or equal to time_t. So before using the system functions to process or format timestamps, let's make extra certain that they can handle what we feed them.

* | timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsJohannes Schindelin2017-04-271-33/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit versions). So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type. By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all timestamps' data type in one go. As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`, we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

* | PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestampsJohannes Schindelin2017-04-231-13/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them. There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows, time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type. So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for timestamps.

* date: add "unix" formatJeff King2016-07-271-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We already have "--date=raw", which is a Unix epoch timestamp plus a contextual timezone (either the author's or the local). But one may not care about the timezone and just want the epoch timestamp by itself. It's not hard to parse the two apart, but if you are using a pretty-print format, you may want git to show the "finished" form that the user will see. We can accomodate this by adding a new date format, "unix", which is basically "raw" without the timezone. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* local_tzoffset: detect errors from tm_to_time_tJeff King2016-06-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we want to know the local timezone offset at a given timestamp, we compute it by asking for localtime() at the given time, and comparing the offset to GMT at that time. However, there's some juggling between time_t and "struct tm" which happens, which involves calling our own tm_to_time_t(). If that function returns an error (e.g., because it only handles dates up to the year 2099), it returns "-1", which we treat as a time_t, and is clearly bogus, leading to bizarre timestamps (that seem to always adjust the time back to (time_t)(uint32_t)-1, in the year 2106). It's not a good idea for local_tzoffset() to simply die here; it would make it hard to run "git log" on a repository with funny timestamps. Instead, let's just treat such cases as "zero offset".

* date: make "local" orthogonal to date formatJeff King2015-09-031-25/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of our "--date" modes are about the format of the date: which items we show and in what order. But "--date=local" is a bit of an oddball. It means "show the date in the normal format, but using the local timezone". The timezone we use is orthogonal to the actual format, and there is no reason we could not have "localized iso8601", etc. This patch adds a "local" boolean field to "struct date_mode", and drops the DATE_LOCAL element from the date_mode_type enum (it's now just DATE_NORMAL plus local=1). The new feature is accessible to users by adding "-local" to any date mode (e.g., "iso-local"), and we retain "local" as an alias for "default-local" for backwards compatibility.

* convert "enum date_mode" into a structJeff King2015-06-291-18/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function parses the input to compute the broken-down time in "struct tm", and the GMT timezone offset. If the timezone offset does not exist in the input, the broken-down time is turned into the number of seconds since epoch both in the current timezone and in GMT and the offset is computed as their difference. However, we forgot to make sure tm.tm_isdst is set to -1 (i.e. let the system figure out if DST is in effect in the current timezone when turning the broken-down time to the number of seconds since epoch); it is done so at the beginning of the function, but a call to match_digit() in the function can lead to a call to gmtime_r() to clobber the field.

We feed the numbers to match_multi_number, which checks whether it makes sense as a date in various orderings (e.g., dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy, etc). One of the checks we do is to see whether it is a date more than 10 days in the future. This was added in 38035cf (date parsing: be friendlier to our European friends., 2006-04-05), and lets us guess that if it is currently April 2014, then "10/03/2014" is probably March 10th, not October 3rd. This has a downside, though; if you want to be overly generous with your "--until" date specification, we may wrongly parse "2014-12-01" as "2014-01-12" (because the latter is an in-the-past date). If the year is a future year (i.e., both are future dates), it gets even weirder. Due to the vagaries of approxidate, months _after_ the current date (no matter the year) get flipped, but ones before do not. This patch drops the "in the future" check for dates of this form, letting us treat them always as yyyy-mm-dd, even if they are in the future. This does not affect the normal dd/mm/yyyy versus mm/dd/yyyy lookup, because this code path only kicks in when the first number is greater than 70 (i.e., it must be a year, and cannot be either a date or a month). The one possible casualty is that "yyyy-dd-mm" is less likely to be chosen over "yyyy-mm-dd". That's probably OK, though because: 1. The difference happens only when the date is in the future. Already we prefer yyyy-mm-dd for dates in the past. 2. It's unclear whether anybody even uses yyyy-dd-mm regularly. It does not appear in lists of common date formats in Wikipedia[1,2]. 3. Even if (2) is wrong, it is better to prefer ISO-like dates, as that is consistent with what we use elsewhere in git.

However, it turns out that the only two new allocations required are: 1. In test-date.c, where we don't care about efficiency. 2. In determine_author_info, which is not performance critical (and where the use of a strbuf will help later refactoring).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp. With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'" can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in year 2010. Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

This is to prevent a string like "20100917" from getting interpreted as seconds since epoch (we want to treat it as September 17, 2010 instead) while doing so. The same codepath is used to read back the timestamp that we have already recorded in the headers of commit and tag objects; because of this, such a commit with timestamp "0 +0000" cannot be rebased or amended very easily. Teach parse_date() codepath to special case a string of the form "<digits> +<4-digits>" to work this issue around, but require that there is no other cruft around the string when parsing a timestamp of this format for safety. Note that this has a slight backward incompatibility implications. If somebody writes "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'" and wants it to mean a timestamp in September 2010 in Japan, this change will break such a use case.

At the point where we calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a number of days. We calculate these integers as: Y = days / 365 M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30 This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1 year, 1 month"). We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just be "2 years". Implement this differently with months of size onemonth = 365/12 so that totalmonths = (long)( (days + onemonth/2)/onemonth ) years = totalmonths / 12 months = totalmonths % 12 In order to do this without floats, we write the first formula as totalmonths = (days*12*2 + 365) / (365*2) Tests and inspiration by Jeff King.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | approxidate() is not appropriate for reading machine-written dates because it guesses instead of erroring out on malformed dates. parse_date() is less convenient since it returns its output as a string. So export the underlying function that writes a timestamp. While at it, change the return value to match the usual convention: return 0 for success and -1 for failure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When no timezone is specified, we deduce the offset by subtracting the result of mktime from our calculated timestamp. However, our timestamp is stored as an unsigned integer, meaning we perform the subtraction as unsigned. For a negative offset, this means we wrap to a very high number, and our numeric timezone is in the millions of hours. You can see this bug by doing: $ TZ=EST \ GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='2010-06-01 10:00' \ git commit -a -m foo $ git cat-file -p HEAD | grep author author Jeff King <peff@peff.net> 1275404416 +119304128 Instead, we should perform this subtraction as a time_t, the same type that mktime returns.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The name "Z" for the UTC timezone is required to properly parse ISO 8601 timestamps. Add it to the list of recognized timezones. Because timezone names can be shorter than 3 letters, loosen the restriction in match_alpha() that used to require at least 3 letters to match to allow a short timezone name as long as it matches exactly. Prior to the introduction of the "Z" zone, this already affected the timezone "NT" (Nome).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday}) didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible. The funny thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp. Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an integer, that gets assigned 1 when the input does not make sense as a timestamp. As I am too lazy to fix all the callers that use approxidate(), most of the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the code to parse reflog to use it as a demonstration. Tests are mostly from Jeff King. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
