Brodie Rao 9788e72a 2011-11-16T11:39:03 refs: move GIT_PACKED_REFS_FILE_MODE to refs.h as GIT_PACKEDREFS_FILE_MODE This groups the #define with the other ref-related file modes, and it makes the name consistent with the other packed-refs definitions.

Vicent Marti d4a0b124 2011-10-30T21:58:33 refs: Partial rewrite for read-only refs This new version of the references code is significantly faster and hopefully easier to read. External API stays the same. A new method `git_reference_reload()` has been added to force updating a memory reference from disk. In-memory references are no longer updated automagically -- this was killing us. If a reference is deleted externally and the user doesn't reload the memory object, nothing critical happens: any functions using that reference should fail gracefully (e.g. deletion, renaming, and so on). All generated references from the API are read only and must be free'd by the user. There is no reference counting and no traces of generated references are kept in the library. There is no longer an internal representation for references. There is only one reference struct `git_reference`, and symbolic/oid targets are stored inside an union. Packfile references are stored using an optimized struct with flex array for reference names. This should significantly reduce the memory cost of loading the packfile from disk.
schu 549bbd13 2011-08-13T18:14:39 git_reference_rename: cleanup reference renaming git_reference_rename() didn't properly cleanup old references given by the user to not break some ugly old tests. Since references don't point to libgit's internal cache anymore we can cleanup git_reference_rename() to be somewhat less messy. Signed-off-by: schu <schu-github@schulog.org>
schu a46ec457 2011-08-10T16:19:42 refs: split internal and external references Currently libgit2 shares pointers to its internal reference cache with the user. This leads to several problems like invalidation of reference pointers when reordering the cache or manipulation of the cache from user side. Give each user its own git_reference instead of leaking the internal representation (struct reference). Add the following new API functions: * git_reference_free * git_reference_is_packed Signed-off-by: schu <schu-github@schulog.org>
Vicent Martí 89fb8f02 2011-10-28T19:04:23 Merge pull request #456 from brodie/perm-fixes Create objects, indexes, and directories with the right file permissions
Vicent Marti 3286c408 2011-10-28T14:51:13 global: Properly use `git__` memory wrappers Ensure that all memory related functions (malloc, calloc, strdup, free, etc) are using their respective `git__` wrappers.
Brodie Rao 01ad7b3a 2011-09-06T15:48:45 *: correct and codify various file permissions The following files now have 0444 permissions: - loose objects - pack indexes - pack files - packs downloaded by fetch - packs downloaded by the HTTP transport And the following files now have 0666 permissions: - config files - repository indexes - reflogs - refs This brings libgit2 more in line with Git. Note that git_filebuf_commit() and git_filebuf_commit_at() have both gained a new mode parameter. The latter change fixes an important issue where filebufs created with GIT_FILEBUF_TEMPORARY received 0600 permissions (due to mkstemp(3) usage). Now we chmod() the file before renaming it into place. Tests have been added to confirm that new commit, tag, and tree objects are created with the right permissions. I don't have access to Windows, so for now I've guarded the tests with "#ifndef GIT_WIN32".

In result 'ref' is not reachable any more and we have got memory leak. Let's re-add 'ref' with corrected name to loose cache instead of 'new_ref' and free 'new_ref' properly.

Vicent Marti de18f276 2011-07-07T01:46:20 vector: Timsort all of the things Drop the GLibc implementation of Merge Sort and replace it with Timsort. The algorithm has been tuned to work on arrays of pointers (void **), so there's no longer a need to abstract the byte-width of each element in the array. All the comparison callbacks now take pointers-to-elements, not pointers-to-pointers, so there's now one less level of dereferencing. E.g. int index_cmp(const void *a, const void *b) { - const git_index_entry *entry_a = *(const git_index_entry **)(a); + const git_index_entry *entry_a = (const git_index_entry *)(a); The result is up to a 40% speed-up when sorting vectors. Memory usage remains lineal. A new `bsearch` implementation has been added, whose callback also supplies pointer-to-elements, to uniform the Vector API again.

These are abstractions on top of the original POSIX calls. There's a new file called `posix.c` that contains emulations/reimplementations of all the POSIX calls the library uses. These are prefixed with `p_`. There's a specific posix file for each platform (win32 and unix). All the path-related methods have been moved from `utils.c` to `path.c` and have their own prefix.

The force flag is now passed as an argument to the normal create methods. - All the different commit creation methods are gone; commit creation now always requires a `git_commit` pointer for parents and a `git_tree` pointer for tree, to ensure that corrupted commits cannot be generated. - All the different tag creation methods are gone; tag creation now always requires a `git_object` pointer to ensure that tags are not created to inexisting objects.

Jakob Pfender 5bdf7b9f 2011-05-19T14:36:52 refs.c: Move to new error handling mechanism
Vicent Marti fa59f18d 2011-05-09T20:54:04 Change error handling mechanism once again Ok, this is the real deal. Hopefully. Here's how it's going to work: - One main method, called `git__throw`, that sets the error code and error message when an error happens. This method must be called in every single place where an error code was being returned previously, setting an error message instead. Example, instead of: return GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED; Use: return git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "The object is missing a finalizing line feed"); And instead of: [...] { error = GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED; goto cleanup; } Use: [...] { error = git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "What an error!"); goto cleanup; } The **only** exception to this are the allocation methods, which return NULL on failure but already set the message manually. /* only place where an error code can be returned directly, because the error message has already been set by the wrapper */ if (foo == NULL) return GIT_ENOMEM; - One secondary method, called `git__rethrow`, which can be used to fine-grain an error message and build an error stack. Example, instead of: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return error; You can now do: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return git__rethrow(error, "Failed to do a major operation"); The return of the `git_lasterror` method will be a string in the shape of: "Failed to do a major operation. (Failed to do an internal operation)" E.g. "Failed to open the index. (Not enough permissions to access '/path/to/index')." NOTE: do not abuse this method. Try to write all `git__throw` messages in a descriptive manner, to avoid having to rethrow them to clarify their meaning. This method should only be used in the places where the original error message set by a subroutine is not specific enough. It is encouraged to continue using this style as much possible to enforce error propagation: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return error; /* `foobar` has set an error message, and we are just propagating it */ The error handling revamp will take place in two phases: - Phase 1: Replace all pieces of code that return direct error codes with calls to `git__throw`. This can be done semi-automatically using `ack` to locate all the error codes that must be replaced. - Phase 2: Add some `git__rethrow` calls in those cases where the original error messages are not specific enough. Phase 1 is the main goal. A minor libgit2 release will be shipped once Phase 1 is ready, and the work will start on gradually improving the error handling mechanism by refining specific error messages. OTHER NOTES: - When writing error messages, please refrain from using weasel words. They add verbosity to the message without giving any real information. (<3 Emeric) E.g. "The reference file appears to be missing a carriage return" Nope. "The reference file is missing a carriage return" Yes. - When calling `git__throw`, please try to use more generic error codes so we can eventually reduce the list of error codes to something more reasonable. Feel free to add new, more generic error codes if these are going to replace several of the old ones. E.g. return GIT_EREFCORRUPTED; Can be turned into: return git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "The reference is corrupted");

Vicent Marti 6b2a1941 2011-03-12T23:09:16 Fix the retarded object interdependency system It's no longer retarded. All object interdependencies are stored as OIDs instead of actual objects. This should be hundreds of times faster, specially on big repositories. Heck, who knows, maye it doesn't even segfault -- wouldn't that be awesome? What has changed on the API? `git_commit_parent`, `git_commit_tree`, `git_tag_target` now return their values through a pointer-to-pointer, and have an error code. `git_commit_set_tree` and `git_tag_set_target` now return an error code and may fail. `git_repository_free__no_gc` has been deprecated because it's stupid. Since there are no longer any interdependencies between objects, we don't need internal reference counting, and GC never fails or double-free's pointers. `git_object_close` now does a very sane thing: marks an object as unused. Closed objects will be eventually free'd from the object cache based on LRU. Please use `git_object_close` from the garbage collector `destroy` method on your bindings. It's 100% safe. `git_repository_gc` is a new method that forces a garbage collector pass through the repo, to free as many LRU objects as possible. This is useful if we are running out of memory.

Vicent Marti fc658755 2011-02-22T21:59:36 Rewrite git_hashtable internals The old hash table with chained buckets has been replaced by a new one using Cuckoo hashing, which offers guaranteed constant lookup times. This should improve speeds on most use cases, since hash tables in libgit2 are usually used as caches where the objects are stored once and queried several times. The Cuckoo hash implementation is based off the one in the Basekit library [1] for the IO language, but rewritten to support an arbritrary number of hashes. We currently use 3 to maximize the usage of the nodes pool. [1]: https://github.com/stevedekorte/basekit/blob/master/source/CHash.c Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
Vicent Marti 817c2820 2011-02-21T17:05:16 Rewrite all file IO for more performance The new `git_filebuf` structure provides atomic high-performance writes to disk by using a write cache, and optionally a double-buffered scheme through a worker thread (not enabled yet). Writes can be done 3-layered, like in git.git (user code -> write cache -> disk), or 2-layered, by writing directly on the cache. This makes index writing considerably faster. The `git_filebuf` structure contains all the old functionality of `git_filelock` for atomic file writes and reads. The `git_filelock` structure has been removed. Additionally, the `git_filebuf` API allows to automatically hash (SHA1) all the data as it is written to disk (hashing is done smartly on big chunks to improve performance).

Vicent Marti 995f9c34 2011-02-09T12:43:19 Use the new git__joinpath to build paths in methods The `git__joinpath` function has been changed to use a statically allocated buffer; we assume the buffer to be 4096 bytes, because fuck you. The new method also supports an arbritrary number of paths to join, which may come in handy in the future. Some methods which were manually joining paths with `strcpy` now use the new function, namely those in `index.c` and `refs.c`. Based on Emeric Fermas' original patch, which was using the old `git__joinpath` because I'm stupid. Thanks! Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>

Vicent Marti 2f8a8ab2 2011-01-29T01:56:25 Refactor reference parsing code Several changes have been committed to allow the user to create in-memory references and write back to disk. Peeling of symbolic references has been made explicit. Added getter and setter methods for all attributes on a reference. Added corresponding documentation.

nulltoken 9282e921 2010-12-27T20:34:19 Merge nulltoken's reference parsing code All the commits have been squashed into a single one before refactoring the final code, to keep everything tidy. Individual commit messages are as follows: Added repository reference looking up functionality placeholder. Added basic reference database definition and caching infrastructure. Removed useless constant. Added GIT_EINVALIDREFNAME error and description. Added missing description for GIT_EBAREINDEX. Added GIT_EREFCORRUPTED error and description. Added GIT_ETOONESTEDSYMREF error and description. Added resolving of direct and symbolic references. Prepared the packed-refs parsing. Added parsing of the packed-refs file content. When no loose reference has been found, the full content of the packed-refs file is parsed. All of the new (i.e. not previously parsed as a loose reference) references are eagerly stored in the cached references storage. The method packed_reference_file__parse() is in deer need of some refactoring. :-) Extracted to a method the parsing of the peeled target of a tag. Extracted to a method the parsing of a standard packed ref. Fixed leaky removal of the cached references. Ensured that a previously parsed packed reference isn't returned if a more up-to-date loose reference exists. Enhanced documentation of git_repository_reference_lookup(). Moved some refs related constants from repository.c to refs.h. Made parsing of a packed tag reference more robust. Updated git_repository_reference_lookup() documentation. Added some references to the test repository. Added some tests covering tag references looking up. Added some tests covering symbolic and head references looking up. Added some tests covering packed references looking up.
