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 abb04caa 2018-02-01T15:55:48 consistent header guards use consistent names for the #include / #define header guard pattern.
Patrick Steinhardt 0c7f49dd 2017-06-30T13:39:01 Make sure to always include "common.h" first Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.
Edward Thomson 5135ddaa 2017-03-23T11:48:41 Introduce `git_sysdir_expand_global_file` Provide a mechanism for callers to expand the full path of a file in the global configuration directory (that is to say, the home directory) even if the file doesn't necessarily exist. This lets callers use their own logic for building paths separate from handling file existence.
Edward Thomson 031d34b7 2016-07-29T12:59:42 sysdir: use the standard `init` pattern Don't try to determine when sysdirs are uninitialized. Instead, simply initialize them all at `git_libgit2_init` time and never try to reinitialize, except when consumers explicitly call `git_sysdir_set`. Looking at the buffer length is especially problematic, since there may no appropriate path for that value. (For example, the Windows-specific programdata directory has no value on non-Windows machines.) Previously we would continually trying to re-lookup these values, which could get racy if two different threads are each calling `git_sysdir_get` and trying to lookup / clear the value simultaneously.
Carlos Martín Nieto 8c7c5fa5 2015-10-20T17:42:42 config: add a ProgramData level This is where portable git stores the global configuration which we can use to adhere to it even though git isn't quite installed on the system.
