* userdiff: have 'cpp' hunk header pattern catch more C++ anchor pointsjs/userdiff-ccJohannes Sixt2014-03-211-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hunk header pattern 'cpp' is intended for C and C++ source code, but it is actually not particularly useful for the latter, and even misses some use-cases for the former. The parts of the pattern have the following flaws: - The first part matches an identifier followed immediately by a colon and arbitrary text and is intended to reject goto labels and C++ access specifiers (public, private, protected). But this pattern also rejects C++ constructs, which look like this: MyClass::MyClass() MyClass::~MyClass() MyClass::Item MyClass::Find(... - The second part matches an identifier followed by a list of qualified names (i.e. identifiers separated by the C++ scope operator '::') separated by space or '*' followed by an opening parenthesis (with space between the tokens). It matches function declarations like struct item* get_head(... int Outer::Inner::Func(... Since the pattern requires at least two identifiers, GNU-style function definitions are ignored: void func(... Moreover, since the pattern does not allow punctuation other than '*', the following C++ constructs are not recognized: . template definitions: template<class T> int func(T arg) . functions returning references: const string& get_message() . functions returning templated types: vector<int> foo() . operator definitions: Value operator+(Value l, Value r) - The third part of the pattern finally matches compound definitions. But it forgets about unions and namespaces, and also skips single-line definitions struct random_iterator_tag {}; because no semicolon can occur on the line. Change the first pattern to require a colon at the end of the line (except for trailing space and comments), so that it does not reject constructor or destructor definitions. Notice that all interesting anchor points begin with an identifier or keyword. But since there is a large variety of syntactical constructs after the first "word", the simplest is to require only this word and accept everything else. Therefore, this boils down to a line that begins with a letter or underscore (optionally preceded by the C++ scope operator '::' to accept functions returning a type anchored at the global namespace). Replace the second and third part by a single pattern that picks such a line. This has the following desirable consequence: - All constructs mentioned above are recognized. and the following likely desirable consequences: - Definitions of global variables and typedefs are recognized: int num_entries = 0; extern const char* help_text; typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring; - Commonly used marco-ized boilerplate code is recognized: BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CCanvas,CWnd) Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyStruct) PATTERNS("tex",...) (The last one is from this very patch.) but also the following possibly undesirable consequence: - When a label is not on a line by itself (except for a comment) it is no longer rejected, but can appear as a hunk header if it occurs at the beginning of a line: next:; IMO, the benefits of the change outweigh the (possible) regressions by a large margin.

* userdiff: drop parse_driver functionJeff King2013-01-231-29/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we parse userdiff config, we generally assume that diff.name.key will affect the "key" value of the "name" driver. However, without confirming that the key is a valid userdiff key, we may accidentally conflict with the ancient "diff.color.*" namespace. The current code is careful not to even create a driver struct if we do not see a key that is known by the diff-driver code. However, this carefulness is unnecessary; the default driver with no keys set behaves exactly the same as having no driver at all. We can simply set up the driver struct as soon as we see we have a config key that looks like a driver. This makes the code a bit more readable.

* drop odd return value semantics from userdiff_configjk/userdiff-config-simplifyJeff King2012-02-071-13/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the userdiff_config function was introduced in be58e70 (diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code, 2008-10-05), it used a return value convention unlike any other config callback. Like other callbacks, it used "-1" to signal error. But it returned "1" to indicate that it found something, and "0" otherwise; other callbacks simply returned "0" to indicate that no error occurred. This distinction was necessary at the time, because the userdiff namespace overlapped slightly with the color configuration namespace. So "diff.color.foo" could mean "the 'foo' slot of diff coloring" or "the 'foo' component of the "color" userdiff driver". Because the color-parsing code would die on an unknown color slot, we needed the userdiff code to indicate that it had matched the variable, letting us bypass the color-parsing code entirely. Later, in 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration, 2009-12-12), the color-parsing code learned to silently ignore unknown slots. This means we no longer need to protect userdiff-matched variables from reaching the color-parsing code. We can therefore change the userdiff_config calling convention to a more normal one. This drops some code from each caller, which is nice. But more importantly, it reduces the cognitive load for readers who may wonder why userdiff_config is unlike every other config callback. There's no need to add a new test confirming that this works; t4020 already contains a test that sets diff.color.external.

To avoid this, tighten the pattern to only match the special block names that perl accepts (namely BEGIN, END, INIT, CHECK, UNITCHECK, AUTOLOAD, and DESTROY). The list is taken from perl's toke.c.

Unfortunately that means text following a subroutine in a POD section: =head1 DESCRIPTION You might use this facility like so: sub example { foo; } Now, having said that, let's say more about the facility. Blah blah blah ... etc etc. gets the subroutine name instead of the POD header in its diff/grep funcname header, making it harder to get oriented when reading a diff without enough context. The fix is simple: anchor the funcname syntax to the left margin so nested subroutines and packages like this won't get picked up. (The builtin C++ funcname pattern already does the same thing.) This means the userdiff driver will misparse the idiom { my $static; sub foo { ... use $static ... } } but I think that's worth it; we can revisit this later if the userdiff mechanism learns to keep track of the beginning and end of nested scopes.

Therefore each of the built-in regexes allows a special token type consisting of a single non-whitespace character [^[:space:]]. To make sure UTF-8 sequences remain human readable, the builtin regexes also have a special token type for runs of bytes with the high bit set. In English, non-ASCII characters are usually isolated so this is analogous to the [^[:space:]] pattern, except it matches a single _multibyte_ character despite use of the C locale. Unfortunately it is easy to make typos or forget entirely to include these catch-all token types when adding support for new languages (see v1.7.3.5~16, userdiff: fix typo in ruby and python word regexes, 2010-12-18). Avoid this by including them automatically within the PATTERNS and IPATTERN macros. While at it, change the UTF-8 sequence token type to match exactly one non-ASCII multi-byte character, rather than an arbitrary run of them.

* diff: add filter for converting binary to textJeff King2008-10-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When diffing binary files, it is sometimes nice to see the differences of a canonical text form rather than either a binary patch or simply "binary files differ." Until now, the only option for doing this was to define an external diff command to perform the diff. This was a lot of work, since the external command needed to take care of doing the diff itself (including mode changes), and lost the benefit of git's colorization and other options. This patch adds a text conversion option, which converts a file to its canonical format before performing the diff. This is less flexible than an arbitrary external diff, but is much less work to set up. For example: $ echo '*.jpg diff=exif' >>.gitattributes $ git config diff.exif.textconv exiftool $ git config diff.exif.binary false allows one to see jpg diffs represented by the text output of exiftool.

* diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binaryJeff King2008-10-181-3/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It can say one of three things: 1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not (i.e., diff or !diff) 2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script) 3. this file should use particular funcname patterns (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex) Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses, since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g., an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the file is binary). However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo indicates that the file is definitely text. This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true. This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling code had to know more about whether attributes were false, true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations just by passing back a driver struct. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing codeJeff King2008-10-181-0/+160
Both sets of code assume that one specifies a diff profile as a gitattribute via the "diff=foo" attribute. They then pull information about that profile from the config as diff.foo.*. The code for each is currently completely separate from the other, which has several disadvantages: - there is duplication as we maintain code to create and search the separate lists of external drivers and funcname patterns - it is difficult to add new profile options, since it is unclear where they should go - the code is difficult to follow, as we rely on the "check if this file is binary" code to find the funcname pattern as a side effect. This is the first step in refactoring the binary-checking code. This patch factors out these diff profiles into "userdiff" drivers. A file with "diff=foo" uses the "foo" driver, which is specified by a single struct. Note that one major difference between the two pieces of code is that the funcname patterns are always loaded, whereas external drivers are loaded only for the "git diff" porcelain; the new code takes care to retain that situation.
