| * prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_arrayJeff King2016-02-221-17/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and allocation. This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not, meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal. On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process, and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!). By switching both of these functions to write into an argv_array, we can consistently free the result as appropriate.

If you invoke git with an absolute path, like: /usr/bin/git foo we also prepend "/usr/bin" to the PATH. This was added long ago by by 231af83 (Teach the "git" command to handle some commands internally, 2006-02-26), with the intent that things would just work if you did something like: cd /opt tar xzf premade-git-package.tar.gz alias git=/opt/git/bin/git as we would then find all of the related external commands in /opt/git/bin. I.e., it made git runtime-relocatable, since at the time of 231af83, we installed all of the git commands into $(bindir). But these days, that is not enough. Since f28ac70 (Move all dashed-form commands to libexecdir, 2007-11-28), we do not put commands into $(bindir), and you actually need to convert "/usr/bin" into "/usr/libexec". And not just for finding binaries; we want to find $(sharedir), etc, the same way. The RUNTIME_PREFIX build knob does this the right way, by assuming a sane hierarchy rooted at "$prefix" when we run "$prefix/bin/git", and inferring "$prefix/libexec/git-core", etc. So this feature (prepending the argv[0] dirname to the PATH) is broken for providing a runtime prefix, and has been for many years. Does it do anything for other cases? For the "git" wrapper itself, as well as any commands shipped by "git", the answer is no. Those are already in git's exec-path, which is consulted first. For third-party commands which you've dropped into the same directory, it does include them. So if you do cd /opt tar xzf git-built-specifically-for-opt-git.tar.gz cp third-party/git-foo /opt/git/bin/git-foo alias git=/opt/git/bin/git it does mean that we will find the third-party "git-foo", even if you do not put /opt/git/bin into your $PATH. But the flipside of this is that we will bump the precedence of _other_ third-party tools that happen to be in the same directory as git. For example, consider this setup: 1. Git is installed by the system in /usr/bin. There are other system utilities in /usr/bin. E.g., a system "vi". 2. The user installs tools they prefer in /usr/local/bin. E.g., vim with a "vi" symlink. They set their PATH to /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin to prefer their custom tools. 3. Running /usr/bin/git puts "/usr/bin" at the front of their PATH. When git invokes the editor on behalf of the user, they get the system vi, not their normal vim. There are other variants of this, including overriding system ruby and python (which is quite common using tools like "rvm" and "virtualenv", which use relocatable hierarchies and $PATH settings to get a consistent environment). Given that the main motivation for git placing the argv[0] dirname into the PATH has been broken for years, that the remaining cases are obscure and unlikely (and easily fixed by the user just setting up their $PATH sanely), and that the behavior is hurting real, reasonably common use cases, it's not worth continuing to do so.

Change the contract between the callers and system_path() to make the returned string owned by the callers; they are responsible for freeing it when done, but they do not have to make their own copy to store it away. Adjust the callers to make sure they do not leak the returned string once they are done, but do not bother freeing it just before dying, exiting or exec'ing other program to avoid unnecessary churn.

* run-command: treat inaccessible directories as ENOENTJeff King2012-04-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When execvp reports EACCES, it can be one of two things: 1. We found a file to execute, but did not have permissions to do so. 2. We did not have permissions to look in some directory in the $PATH. In the former case, we want to consider this a permissions problem and report it to the user as such (since getting this for something like "git foo" is likely a configuration error). In the latter case, there is a good chance that the inaccessible directory does not contain anything of interest. Reporting "permission denied" is confusing to the user (and prevents our usual "did you mean...?" lookup). It also prevents git from trying alias lookup, since we do so only when an external command does not exist (not when it exists but has an error). This patch detects EACCES from execvp, checks whether we are in case (2), and if so converts errno to ENOENT. This behavior matches that of "bash" (but not of simpler shells that use execvp more directly, like "dash"). Test stolen from Junio.

* | Print RUNTIME_PREFIX warning only when GIT_TRACE is setJohannes Sixt2010-02-231-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When RUNTIME_PREFIX is enabled, the installation prefix is derived by trying a limited set of known locations where the git executable can reside. If none of these is found, a warning is emitted. When git is built in a directory that matches neither of these known names, the warning would always be emitted when the uninstalled executable is run. This is a problem on Windows, where gitk picks the uninstalled git when invoked from the build directory and gets confused by the warning. Print the warning only when GIT_TRACE is set.

Let /foo be a build directory. Let /pfx be the installation prefix. Let pfxexecpath=/pfx/libexec/git-core. The following is going on when 'git --exec-path=/foo gc' is invoked: 1. git sets PATH=/foo:$PATH0 using the path from --exec-path 2. gc execs 'git repack' (note: no dash). 3. Since there is a git in /foo (it's a build directory), /foo/git is taken. 4. No explicit exec-path is set this time, hence, this secondary git sets PATH=$pfxexecpath:/foo:$PATH 5. Since 'repack' is not a built-in, execv_dashed_external execs 'git-repack' (note: dash). 6. There is a $pfxexecpath/git-repack, and it is taken. 7. This git-repack runs 'git pack-objects' (note: no dash). 8. There is no git in $pfxexecpath, but there is one in /foo. Hence, /foo/git is run. 9. pack-objects is a builtin, hence, in effect /foo/git-pack-objects is run. As you can see, the way in which we previously set the PATH allowed to mix gits of different vintage. By setting GIT_EXEC_PATH when --exec-path was given on the command line, we reduce the confusion.

* | Compute prefix at runtime if RUNTIME_PREFIX is setSteffen Prohaska2009-01-261-0/+44

Such binaries can be moved together with the system configuration files to a different directory, as long as the relative paths from the binary to the configuration files is preserved. This functionality is essential on Windows where we deliver git binaries with an installer that allows to freely choose the installation location. If RUNTIME_PREFIX is unset we use the static prefix. This will be the default on Unix. Thus, the behavior on Unix will remain identical to the old implementation, which used to add the prefix in the Makefile. If RUNTIME_PREFIX is set the prefix is computed from the location of the executable. In this case, system_path() tries to strip known directories that executables can be located in from the path of the executable. If the path is successfully stripped it is used as the prefix. For example, if the executable is "/msysgit/bin/git" and BINDIR is "bin", then the prefix computed is "/msysgit". If the runtime prefix computation fails, we fall back to the static prefix specified in the makefile. This can be the case if the executable is not installed at a known location. Note that our test system sets GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM to tell git to ignore global configuration files during testing. Hence testing does not trigger the fall back. Note that RUNTIME_PREFIX only works on Windows, though adding support on Unix should not be too hard. The implementation requires argv0_path to be set to an absolute path. argv0_path must point to the directory of the executable. We use assert() to verify this in debug builds. On Windows, the wrapper for main() (see compat/mingw.h) guarantees that argv0_path is correctly initialized. On Unix, further work is required before RUNTIME_PREFIX can be enabled.

* | Modify setup_path() to only add git_exec_path() to PATHSteffen Prohaska2009-01-261-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Searching git programs only in the highest priority location is sufficient. It does not make sense that some of the required programs are located at the highest priority location but other programs are picked up from a lower priority exec-path. If exec-path is overridden a complete set of commands should be provided, otherwise several different versions could get mixed, which is likely to cause confusion. If a user explicitly overrides the default location (by --exec-path or GIT_EXEC_PATH), we now expect that all the required programs are found there. Instead of adding the directories "argv_exec_path", "getenv(EXEC_PATH_ENVIRONMENT)", and "system_path(GIT_EXEC_PATH)" to PATH, we now rely on git_exec_path(), which implements the same order, but only returns the highest priority location to search for executables. Accessing only the location with highest priority is also required for testing executables built with RUNTIME_PREFIX. The call to system_path() should be avoided if RUNTIME_PREFIX is set and the executable is not installed at its final destination. Because we test before installing, we want to avoid calling system_path() during tests. The modifications in this commit avoid calling system_path(GIT_EXEC_PATH) if a higher-priority location is provided, which is the case when running the tests.

* Move code interpreting path relative to exec-dir to new function system_path()Steffen Prohaska2008-07-131-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for creating an installation that can be moved to a different directory without re-compiling. We use this approach for template_dir and the system wide gitconfig. The Windows installer (msysgit) is an example for such a setup. This commit moves common code to a new function system_path(). System paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path. system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves absolute paths unmodified. For example, we now write template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR); [j6t: moved from path.c to exec_cmd.c] Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * Windows: Compute the fallback for exec_path from the program invocation.Johannes Sixt2008-06-261-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since on Windows the user is fairly free where to install programs, we cannot rely on a hard-coded path. We use the program name to derive the installation directory and use that as exec_path. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
| * Turn builtin_exec_path into a function.Johannes Sixt2008-06-261-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | builtin_exec_path returns the hard-coded installation path, which is used as the ultimate fallback to look for git commands. Making it into a function enables us in a follow-up patch to return a computed value instead of just a constant string. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>

* | Prepare execv_git_cmd() for removal of builtins from the filesystemJunio C Hamano2008-06-231-19/+12
|/ | | | | | | | | Currently, execv_git_cmd() always try running the dashed form, which means we cannot easily remove the git-foo hardlinks for built-in commands. This updates the function to always exec "git foo" form, and makes sure "git" potty does not infinitely recurse to itself. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Trace and quote with argv: get rid of unneeded count argument.Christian Couder2007-12-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that str_buf takes care of all the allocations, there is no more gain to pass an argument count. So this patch removes the "count" argument from: - "sq_quote_argv" - "trace_argv_printf" and all the callers.

* use only the $PATH for exec'ing git commandsScott R Parish2007-10-291-69/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to correctly set up $PATH for non-c based git commands. Since we already do this, we can just use that $PATH and execvp, instead of looping over the paths with execve. This patch adds a setup_path() function to exec_cmd.c, which sets the $PATH order correctly for our search order. execv_git_cmd() is stripped down to setting up argv and calling execvp(). git.c's main() only only needs to call setup_path().

* Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Junio C Hamano2007-02-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Use preprocessor constants for environment variable names.Junio C Hamano2006-12-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We broke the discipline Linus set up to allow compiler help us avoid typos in environment names in the early days of git over time. This defines a handful preprocessor constants for environment variable names used in relatively core parts of the system. I've left out variable names specific to subsystems such as HTTP and SSL as I do not think they are big problems. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Trace into open fd and refactor tracing code.Christian Couder2006-08-311-16/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now if GIT_TRACE is set to an integer value greater than 1 and lower than 10, we interpret this as an open fd value and we trace into it. Note that this behavior is not compatible with the previous one. We also trace whole messages using one write(2) call to make sure messages from processes do net get mixed up in the middle. It's now possible to run the tests like this: GIT_TRACE=9 make test 9>/var/tmp/trace.log Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
