Shawn O. Pearce 028ef0de 2008-12-31T13:20:21 Add a mutex and atomic counter abstraction and implementations These abstractions can be used to implement an efficient resource reference counter and simple mutual exclusion. On pthreads we use pthread_mutex_t, except when we are also on glibc and can directly use its asm/atomic.h definitions. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Shawn O. Pearce d44cfd46 2008-12-31T13:16:31 Cleanup our header inclusion order to ensure pthread.h is early If we are using threads we need to make sure pthread.h comes in before just about anything else. Some platforms enable macros that alter what other headers define. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Shawn O. Pearce 64a47c01 2008-12-30T23:21:36 Wrap malloc and friends and report out of memory as GIT_ENOMEM We now forbid direct use of malloc, strdup or calloc within the library and instead use wrapper functions git__malloc, etc. to invoke the underlying library malloc and set git_errno to a no memory error code if the allocation fails. In the future once we have pack objects in memory we are likely to enhance these routines with garbage collection logic to purge cached pack data when allocations fail. Because the size of the function will grow somewhat large, we don't want to mark them for inline as gcc tends to aggressively inline, creating larger than expected executables.

Shawn O. Pearce 064301cc 2008-12-30T22:07:56 Fix size_t snprintf warning by using PRIuPTR format macro This is the correct C99 format code for the size_t type when passed as an argument to the *printf family. If the platform doesn't define it, we assume %lu and just cross our fingers that its the proper setting for a size_t on this system. On most sane platforms, "unsigned long" is the underlying type of "size_t". Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Shawn O. Pearce a1d34bc0 2008-12-30T21:49:38 Support building on Mac OS X by using pthread_getspecific for TLS The Mach-O format does not permit gcc to implement the __thread TLS specification, so we must instead emulate it using a single int cell allocated from memory and stored inside of the thread specific data associated with the current pthread. What makes this tricky is git_errno must be a valid lvalue, so we really need to return a pointer to the caller and deference it as part of the git_errno macro. The GCC-specific __attribute__((constructor)) extension is used to ensure the pthread_key_t is allocated before any Git functions are executed in the library, as this is necessary to access our thread specific storage.

Shawn O. Pearce b3039bee 2008-12-30T21:25:13 Cleanup formatting in our head files to be more consistent Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Ramsay Jones 75d58430 2008-12-18T22:56:14 Add a file reading routine along with an io buffer type In particular, the gitfo_read_file() routine can be used to slurp the complete file contents into an gitfo_buf structure. The buffer content will be allocated by malloc() and may be released by the gitfo_free_buf() routine. The io buffer type can be initialised on the stack with the GITFO_BUF_INIT macro.

Ramsay Jones 5ee2fe77 2008-12-03T23:53:55 Add a GIT_PATH_MAX constant The PATH_MAX symbol is often, but not always, defined in the <limits.h> header. In particular, on cygwin you need to include this header to avoid a compilation error. However, some systems define PATH_MAX to be something as small as 256, which POSIX is happy to allow, while others allow much larger values. In general it can vary from one filesystem to another. In order to avoid the vagaries of different systems, define our own symbol. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Andreas Ericsson ae234862 2008-11-18T22:20:15 Add an embryo of a TLS-aware error handling system This adds the per-thread global variable git_errno to the system, which callers can examine to get information about an error. Two helper functions are added to reduce LoC-count for the library code itself. Also, some exceptions are made for running sparse on GIT_TLS definitions, since it doesn't grok thread-local variables at all. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Andreas Ericsson 3a2aabdc 2008-11-22T14:44:47 Add util.h - utility macros ARRAY_SIZE() et al go in util.h, included from common.h Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Andreas Ericsson 76a8c447 2008-11-22T14:42:12 Add internal common.h file This one pulls in compiler compatibility macros, some common header files, and also the public common.h header. C source files are modified to use the private common.h in favour of the public one. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
