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");

Carlos Martín Nieto 68a146c1 2011-04-29T11:45:42 refs: don't loose info on resolve error Typical use is git_reference_resolve(&ref, ref). Currently, if there is an error, ref will point to NULL, causing the user to lose that reference. Always update resolved_ref instead of just on finding an OID ref, storing the last valid reference in it. This change helps simplify the code for allowing root commits.

Vicent Marti 09e8de0f 2011-03-25T23:53:38 New external API method: `git_reference_listcb` List all the references in the repository, calling a custom callback for each one. The listed references may be filtered by type, or using a bitwise OR of several types. Use the magic value `GIT_REF_LISTALL` to obtain all references, including packed ones. The `callback` function will be called for each of the references in the repository, and will receive the name of the reference and the `payload` value passed to this method.

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.

The following search methods now exist: git_vector_search(vector, entry) git_vector_search2(vector, custom_search_callback, key) git_vector_bsearch(vector, entry) git_vector_bsearch2(vector, custom_search_callback, key) The sorting state of the vector is now stored internally.

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>

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.
