Edward Thomson f0e693b1 2021-09-07T17:53:49 str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by `git_buf`. We require: 1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc). 2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they can take ownership of. By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and reasoning about correctness is also difficult. Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class. The name also is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr"). The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint. It is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that follow the documentation. (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.) Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a `git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it back again.

Edward Thomson b78bcbb9 2019-01-09T13:21:23 buffer: wrap EXTERN in DEPRECATED The GIT_EXTERN macro needs to provide order-specific attributes; update users of the GIT_DEPRECATED macro to allow for that.

Russell Belfer b47349b8 2013-09-12T14:48:24 Port tests from PR 1683 This ports over some of the tests from https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/1683 by @yorah and @ethomson
Russell Belfer a9f51e43 2013-09-11T22:00:36 Merge git_buf and git_buffer This makes the git_buf struct that was used internally into an externally available structure and eliminates the git_buffer. As part of that, some of the special cases that arose with the externally used git_buffer were blended into the git_buf, such as being careful about git_buf objects that may have a NULL ptr and allowing for bufs with a valid ptr and size but zero asize as a way of referring to externally owned data.
Russell Belfer 2a7d224f 2013-09-10T16:33:32 Extend public filter api with filter lists This moves the git_filter_list into the public API so that users can create, apply, and dispose of filter lists. This allows more granular application of filters to user data outside of libgit2 internals. This also converts all the internal usage of filters to the public APIs along with a few small tweaks to make it easier to use the public git_buffer stuff alongside the internal git_buf.
Russell Belfer 0cf77103 2013-08-26T23:17:07 Start of filter API + git_blob_filtered_content This begins the process of exposing git_filter objects to the public API. This includes: * new public type and API for `git_buffer` through which an allocated buffer can be passed to the user * new API `git_blob_filtered_content` * make the git_filter type and GIT_FILTER_TO_... constants public
