* read_in_full: always report errorsJeff King2011-05-261-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The read_in_full function repeatedly calls read() to fill a buffer. If the first read() returns an error, we notify the caller by returning the error. However, if we read some data and then get an error on a subsequent read, we simply return the amount of data that we did read, and the caller is unaware of the error. This makes the tradeoff that seeing the partial data is more important than the fact that an error occurred. In practice, this is generally not the case; we care more if an error occurred, and should throw away any partial data. I audited the current callers. In most cases, this will make no difference at all, as they do: if (read_in_full(fd, buf, size) != size) error("short read"); However, it will help in a few cases: 1. In sha1_file.c:index_stream, we would fail to notice errors in the incoming stream. 2. When reading symbolic refs in resolve_ref, we would fail to notice errors and potentially use a truncated ref name. 3. In various places, we will get much better error messages. For example, callers of safe_read would erroneously print "the remote end hung up unexpectedly" instead of showing the read error.

* Name make_*_path functions more accuratelyCarlos Martín Nieto2011-03-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename the make_*_path functions so it's clearer what they do, in particlar make clear what the differnce between make_absolute_path and make_nonrelative_path is by renaming them real_path and absolute_path respectively. make_relative_path has an understandable name and is renamed to relative_path to maintain the name convention. The function calls have been replaced 1-to-1 in their usage. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <cmn@elego.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflowJonathan Nieder2011-02-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned integer has overflowed, but a more explicit unsigned_add_overflows(a, b) might be easier to read. Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)). Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof() expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

* | Improve error messages when temporary file creation failsArnout Engelen2010-12-211-4/+28
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before, when creating a temporary file failed, a generic 'Unable to create temporary file' message was printed. In some cases this could lead to confusion as to which directory should be checked for correct permissions etc. This patch adds the template for the temporary filename to the error message, converting it to an absolute path if needed. A test verifies that the template is indeed printed when pointing to a nonexistent or unwritable directory. A copy of the original template is made in case mkstemp clears the template.

* Remove pack file handling dependency from wrapper.oJonathan Nieder2010-11-101-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As v1.7.0-rc0~43 (slim down "git show-index", 2010-01-21) explains, use of xmalloc() brings in a dependency on zlib, the sha1 lib, and the rest of git's object file access machinery via try_to_free_pack_memory. That is overkill when xmalloc is just being used as a convenience wrapper to exit when no memory is available. So defer setting try_to_free_pack_memory as try_to_free_routine until the first packfile is opened in add_packed_git(). After this change, a simple program using xmalloc() and no other functions will not pull in any code from libgit.a aside from wrapper.o and usage.o.

* path helpers: move git_mkstemp* to wrapper.cJonathan Nieder2010-11-101-0/+113
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git_mkstemp_mode and related functions do not require access to specialized git machinery, unlike some other functions from path.c (like set_shared_perm()). Move them to wrapper.c where the wrapper xmkstemp_mode is defined. This eliminates a dependency of wrapper.o on environment.o via path.o. With typical linkers (e.g., gcc), that dependency makes programs that use functions from wrapper.o and not environment.o or path.o larger than they need to be.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The odb_mkstemp and odb_pack_keep functions open files under the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY directory. This requires access to the git configuration which very simple programs do not need. Move these functions to environment.o, closer to their dependencies.

* wrapper: move xmmap() to sha1_file.cJonathan Nieder2010-11-101-15/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | wrapper.o depends on sha1_file.o for a number of reasons. One is release_pack_memory(). xmmap function calls mmap, discarding unused pack windows when necessary to relieve memory pressure. Simple git programs using wrapper.o as a friendly libc do not need this functionality. So move xmmap to sha1_file.o, where release_pack_memory() is.

* Use git_mkstemp_mode and xmkstemp_mode in odb_mkstemp, not chmod later.Matthieu Moy2010-02-221-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect as a normal file creation with a umask. But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of actual group permission. In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the later chmod.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seem to be a very common pattern in the current code. The function prints a generic removal failure message, the file name which failed and readable errno presentation. The function preserves errno and always returns the value unlink(2) returned, but prints no message for ENOENT, as it was the most often filtered out in the code calling unlink. Besides, removing a file is anyway the purpose of calling unlink. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create "pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is not created upon initialization. It was Ok because subdirectories are created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then, packfiles were recent invention. After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of objects/pack/ directory in the repository. This was exacerbated with 8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation. Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail mysteriously because of this. This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better. - odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the code and teach it to create leading directories as needed; - odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while create leading directories as needed.

* | Wrap inflate and other zlib routines for better error reportingLinus Torvalds2009-01-111-0/+60
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | R. Tyler Ballance reported a mysterious transient repository corruption; after much digging, it turns out that we were not catching and reporting memory allocation errors from some calls we make to zlib. This one _just_ wraps things; it doesn't do the "retry on low memory error" part, at least not yet. It is an independent issue from the reporting. Some of the errors are expected and passed back to the caller, but we die when zlib reports it failed to allocate memory for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functionsLinus Torvalds2008-06-221-0/+160
So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make me think "lean and mean". With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on failure) unnecessarily. So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os": Before: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git After: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint). It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be _that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).
